From what I have seen, these wheels do not have the correct offset for our cars. Alot of people think they do.....but...NOT.

I am planning on running the greg welds, but since they arent going to be in until april, I to will be throwing on the summit stars. I know there are a few members on here running those, so hopefully they will post. BUT, from what i heard they fit better than prostars, not as much grinding. But you will have to run the 15x8 with 5.5bs, seeing how the 15x10 isnt 7.5.....yet. The only real difference is that the center caps are different. But almost side, by side you cant tell. This coming from a guy who has owned multiple sets of them. My plan for once I bought the summit stars was to try to make the center cap look as much like a Weld wheel as possible.

The front wheel is a 15x4 with a 1.75 bs, and the rear is 15x8 with 5.5bs. What is wrong with that?

It is the Jegs that is wrong. They offer the correct front, with 15x4 with 1.75bs, but the rear is 15x8 is 4.5bs. The summits should fit great. Try a search on here for "summit stars"

I've had both. The jegs fronts fit great, the summits fit good all around. Minimal grinding and stock lugs/studs can be used. Try a search for my posts, I've mentioned them quite a bit on here and had good luck with them.

i think they would look good on there, especially on pewter, that color looks great with some nice wheels, you could try and do a search for TA's with prostars, that would give you an idea of what it would look like.
