Default New JEGS wheels.

What do you think of the new Jegs Wheels that are spin offs of the Draglites & Prostars?

http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...tegoryId=97304

If quality is near the same and they don't wiegh alot more I think its a good deal for the price difference. The only hang up I see is the back spacing but they may offer some more BS in the future.

I would highly doubt they fit any better than the Welds, it isn't like Jegs is going to spend money to R&D these wheels when they can just copy the design. I would really like to know what the deal is on these, is weld making them for Jegs? Or....? Doesn't anyone think this is shitty if they are not?
