I agree... The rears are sweet, but the fronts just don't look right.

Weight should be a big consideration if this is strictly a strip car!!!

They all have something that I don't like. The Magnums have the gold center on the rears, the Alumastar's rear wheels look exactly like my Pro Stars with exception of the gold rivets and the MT's don't come in a 15x10. UUGGHH

xtreme02GT · 05-28-2007, 12:43 PM

The Magnums have ( GLOLD ) in the center on the rears? And that is the ONLY way they come?? If thats the case......I change my mind to the Weld Alumastars

Remember Mitch, #2's require a spindle mount...but IMO they are the chit

That was the only pic I could find, but they are available without spindle mount.

I thought about that too. I gotta check the waters on selling my Welds with front tires or the set with front tires and just rear wheels.
