Pro-Stars!

I'm switching sometime this next year to some 15x3.5/15x10s. Draglites serve their purpose, but after a while become god awful ugly. I ran the Telstars previously and liked them alot, but would still prefer a Pro-Star. I believe the Welds are lighter than Telstars too. can't remember to be 100%.

It all depends on the car. On my car, I've ran both Pro-Stars and Draglites. I like the Draglites better so I sold the others. On some cars the Pro-Stars look better and on some the Draglites look better. It's all personal preference.

I'm a Bogart fan - love my D10s!

If I didn't have them, I'd snag a set of Prostars.

prostars i think look the best, they take less grinding than others, AND you can't beat them for the price.

i'd go pro-star.


Bogart D-10's have got to be the sickest looking drag wheel on an ls1 camaro though.

it's all money.

If I already have Torque Thrust IIs 17X11 with 7.5" BS, why wouldn't 15X10 Convo Pros with 6.5" BS work? Wouldn't that put the front side of the rim in the same spot as the Torque Thrusts?
What about a 15X10 Telstar with 7.0" BS?

How much grinding did you have to do on your draglites, i might be gettin a set and i really dont want to run spacers on the back.

Is your rear springs stock?? as I am really wanting to mount some 325's on my 10's I have massages the fenders and lip is rolled about as smooth as it can get, just wondering if I need to raise the rear back up before I do that. Thx in advance.

tire iron, the tool thats in the spare tire well to pull lug nuts off,

stock brakes were made to fit in a 16 inch wheels thats the smallest rim that they made from stock, when you put a 15 inch wheel on there the brakes rub the rims and have to be ground down to clear them.

They are stock with the isolators removed. Actually had some Eibachs on it and it looked great but had no weight transfer at all ,so back with the stockers!

about 5 minutes per side with a bad *** grinder...just grind a bit, and then put some masking tape over the caliper, bolt up the wheel, and spin it, and see where it cuts/rubs the tape, and grind there.....just keep test fitting, shouldnt take long.
