Default Summit fake Prostars - Pics added!

Disclaimer to some people who might disagree with my choices...

#1. Yes, I did buy cheap Chinese wheels.
#2. Yes, I do only have 8" wide rims on a Camaro.
#3. Yes, I did buy cheap *** Kumho 165/80 tires.

And the real kicker...I might even cut my springs

But damn, it looks good! Haha. No negative comments please.

I'll have pictures tomorrow sometime!

I had to do some grinding, but it was very little..VERY LITTLE. On the fronts I had to take off just like 2mm deep in a little line that was no more than 1/4" wide on the outside of the caliper. In the rear, again, very little grinding. It was mainly just taking a few mm off that lip thing that sticks up in the center. I probably spent no more than 5 minutes on each wheel..and most of that was just taking the wheel on and off.

My rear tires are M/T ET Street Radials 275/50. They line up exactly with the fender.

My car is still stock 4x4 height, will definitely look good lowered maybe just an inch.

Yeah,

$430 shipped for these rims, you can't expect Bogarts, but these are damn nice for the price.

I still wanna see someone put a weld centercap in and see how they look. A friend ordered the Jegs "draglite" style wheels for his car and used a weld centercap and they looked exactly like welds. The Centercap made a huge diffrence.

Just curious, how much do they weigh compared to Welds Prostar/Draglite?
$430 shipped, can't argue with that.
