Default For Summit Star owners

THey have been out for awhile now and I was wondering how people are liking them, they are appealing to me for the price and the little grinding you have to do on your brakes, how is the finish holding up? How big of a tire can you put on the 8 inch rims? Do your tires rub on the outer fender? Are they heavy or light? Needing to buy four rear wheels the price is definetely right, two for Dr's and two for slicks. Anyone running anything bigger than a 26" slick with these? Thanks

I bought a set for my car.. I'm running 275/50's on a 15x8 rim and 26/6 on a 15x4 rim.. I am very happy with them.. They look good and seem to be a quality product.. I've only had them on my car a month, but I can say I am very satisfied and the MT ET Street radials HOOK!! I don't have any track times yet, hopefully next week. From what I read on another board they weigh 4 lbs per rim more then welds..

I have no issues with rubbing anywhere.. Caliper grinding sucked, but wasn't too bad I guess.. Just ask if you have anymore questions, be glad to help if I can..

Here's some pics..
