They're around 6 lbs heavier per wheel than a prostar, they fit without grinding on my 98 z28 with stock brakes/worn pads (can't comment on a thicker pad like hawks, etc), and use stock/stock style lug nuts. The weight is the only downfall to the rims, visually (besides the centercap not saying weld racing) they are pretty much identical.

Lythropus, the reason I mentioned stock pads is because on my old 99 z28 I attempted to fit some draglite xp's on the front I bought used from a forum member, but they didn't fit correctly at all due to baer eradispeed rotors and hawk pads being thicker than stock.
The 15x4 with 1.75" bs up front, and as of now they don't make a 15x10 with correct backspacing for our cars. Gotta run the real prostar out back, but they match pretty well.

Not everyone on this site is trying to build a race car they drive on the street every so often. I don't know how much you drive your car and I'm not trying to start sh*t, but the majority of the population on this site do daily drive their cars or they are their nice weather drivers.
With everything factored in that I've mentioned, yes these do weigh more, but compare these to your run of the mill aftermarket chrome 18" zo6 wheel combo or something similar, you're still saving a substantial amount of moving mass by the weight AND the width of the wheel/tire. Yes the prostar is obviously the better choice weightwise, but you can't beat what these offer for the price if you're not building an all out track car.

I'm not jumping on you for ****. Your car is your car, i don't care how you set it up. You want to go fast, don't cut corners. I gave my opinion, you gave yours. Cya.
