Question Weld Pro Star Xps

I'm trying to makeup my mind on a new set of race wheels. My b-day is just around the corner, so I'm trying to decide. If I had the extra mula right now I'd go with a set of bogarts, but I don't so I'm looking at the weld pro star xps.

Wheels:

-Front 15/ 3.5

-Rear 16/ 8.5

If anyone is running this wheel setup please post-up some pics


Thanks

Hi

I was told the XPs are no longer available. You may have to get the regular Prostars.

Thanks JA

Yeah they were a little heavier. There is a set of Pro Stars a guy in the Texas section is looking to trade. Might drop him a PM if it interests you Darren.

XP's 8, 9, and 10" rims all weigh about the same as stock, which is like 22/23 lbs.

They are discontinued, but you can call 1.800.788.weld and see if they can locate any.

Hi

As an upgrade I was thinking on trying Bogart Road Race wheels. They look similar and are very light, but I am worried about how they will hold up for regular road driving. Any one know about these wheels? Thanks

Thanks JA

Our RR wheels are very strong. They are meant to take extremly high-lateral loads found in road race applications.

THough I can't tell you to use them on the street, if you bent them, you'd be bend just about any aluminum wheel. Offhand, I don't believe I have ever had a customer ever bend a set (asside from hitting a wall etc)...this is out of every one made...not just F-bodies.
