Default New Weld Prostars??



Anyone have any info about these? Like are they lighter or heavier? Wonder if they would clear any better for the rear wheels.

I might order some, they look alot better than the older ones.

Damn that is $920 for 2 wheels and 2 slicks. Still should add the tubes.

is a 51mm offset right for our cars? I am thinking yes- but not sure. Then what about the front? 13mm too much? 6mm too little? I might would buy those.

No one??

After some researching I am pretty sure the 51mm is correct for the rear- still unsure about the fronts.
