well for one, i believe they are heavier than the welds. probably not by that much, but for the price you can find weld skinnies for the front, you might as well.

I have a pair from Jeg's. I weighed them, and without tire i believe they were about 4 lbs heavier than welds. So for the money difference i believe they are worth it. I've never had mine at the track though. I just threw them on to take some pictures.

Tim, he is asking about the "draglite" style summit wheel, not the "prostar" type you have. But N2OLT1, I believe I came across a thread about a guy who bought some and they didnt fit at all, so he had to send them back and get the Summit prostars. I think that is why you see everyone running the summit stars and no one running the summit lites.

No problem. Get some pictures Id like to see that combo. I run Greg Welds in the front with Stockers and Slicks, however this is my car with a set of 15x10 prostars off a buddies car. I think the combo looks badass!





PS. This is the original thread I found that I was telling you about, that explained the summit draglites not fitting.

You also can run Weld Draglites in the front with a small spacer and no grinding. I did that for a while too.
