Default just saw jegs sport star 15 x 4 wheels, do they fit?

i dont know if anyone has seen these but i saw them earlier today when i was looking for some prices on pro stars. they look just like pro stars but dont use long shank lugs, they use the acorn stock style lug nuts. price is pretty cheap at $90 i think and they look decent enough for track only use. heres a pic that i got off the site, and they have some wheels that look like draglites as well. what do you guys think about these? dont really know if they fit, i have some 15x3.5 on my t/a but one is messed up, and i have aerospace brakes all the way around which cleared the skinnies no problem. any thougths about these? sorry if this is a repost, just saw them today.

sorry forgot the pics. heres some off the web. IMO they look pretty good if they fit and if they will stand up to some abuse thats a plus.

well im glad this came back from the dead, cuz i really wanted to know if these fit or not. aparently(sp?) they do without any grinding or spacers for the LS1 guys so they must fit LT1 cars as well with no problems, unless SuperZ is running aftermarket brakes.

SuperZ- how do the wheels look(finish), and how are they compared to the prostars(lighter/stronger)? any info is appreciated as these seem to be the hot ticket for guys on a budget who just need the fronts for occasional track use.

The Jegs Stars 15x4's weigh in at a very hefty 17 lbs. If you all would get up the gumption to make a phone call every once in a while you'd be surprised what you would learn. Or instead you can wait for someone with a little gumption and motivation in life to make the phone call, lol.

I just got off the phone with them 5 minutes ago. 24/7 support is nice

The wheels fit great with NO grinding or spacers and I have stock brakes.The wheel look and finish is great.Im really happy with the quality of these.The 165 tire fits on there great too!I have not weighed mine all I know if they are alot lighter than my ZR1s that weigh 55pounds a piece with tire.They also use the stock acorn style lug nuts.They come with a center cap thats black and says jegs on it in silver.It duznt look bad but I just painted over it black.

I called a week or 2 ago and the rep said he didn't know the weight, and he certainly didnt take any ambition to figure it out. Thanks for doing the leg work. I believe the 15X3.5 prostars are 12 lbs each.


Quick Reply: just saw jegs sport star 15 x 4 wheels, do they fit?
