Default Jegs/Summit/Cragar star wheels

Does anyone currently have or had the Summit, Jegs, or Cragar version of the pro star?

How much do they weigh?

How much grinding is needed compared to the weld pro star?

Input is appreciated.

I have the summits. The the 15x4 fronts weigh 14.5 lbs each, the rear 15x8s weigh about 18 lbs each. They don't require much grinding compared to a prostar.

I was looking at the summit one last night. They look good. Do you have pics of them on your car?

I just got the skinnies in last night. I had the rears last season and ran a 275/50 MT on them, but I'm having them pulled tonight and I'm going to run a 28" on them next season.

I'm debating whether or not I want to have the center section/spokes powdercoated gunmetal gray or black. I won't have them on the car for a few months because it will be down for a single turbo swap until february/march. If you're still looking then I can post pics. They do fit nicely though (at least in the rear). They were just barely inside the fender lip on the rears with the 275s, but they were probably pooching out a little on the 8" wide rim.

I have a few pages of the fronts mounted but not the rears on the car though because I got the rears at the end of the season and didn't bother getting the tires mounted. Check this pages 2-5 Pics of them are spread throughout there. Basically they look identical to Prostars except the spokes are a tiny bit fatter.

This is the summit wheels on the back, minus the center caps 15x8s with 275/50/15 MT radials...




Heres the jegs star fronts 15x4s with the real weld prostar 15x10 rears...





I know theres also a sunset orange t/a on the site that has the summit wheels all around and it looks real good. I searched and couldn't find it though, so good luck!

I got the Summit version and 5.5 is the BS you want. And 165/80-15 is the front tire size. I got the Kumho Power Star 758 tires. They have a speed rating of 118mph.


Check out my post for pics on my car...

hey jetlag, your car looks good in those pics, so i would be better off going with the summitt wheels instead of the jegs since summitt offers the 5.5BS, they both look bout the same to me and the same price

Yes, if Jegs doesn't offer 5.5 then go Summit.

Also, I don't know about Jegs, but Summit only charges $10 for handling fees...free shipping. So the total will be $430 and some change.
