Nice wheels

I planned on getting the prostar xp's, but they seem a bit steep to me for wheels. I'll just be getting some 15" Prostars, I think they look just as good, but a lot of people have them.

Kevin, I checked Summit about a month ago and they had Prostar XP's.

Not a big fan of those wheels, the car is sweet though. I'll be sticking with my Pro Stars though.

Hey 84customZ28 I say ditch the TTII's and go with a wheel similar to Kandied! I think it would complete your car! If you don't have the cash to spend on a billet wheel Check out the American Racing Rebels. Real nice wheel for a good price. Considering putting them on my camaro.

Those are, imo, the most stylish wheels for a thirdgen. They look like ther were supposed to be ther from the factory!

Yep, a guy I know named his boat after it. That's where I got the name....I used to have a blue convertible.

It's a shame they discontinued those wheels though. Cragar made a wheel called dragstar FX that were basically identical, not sure about the material though. I can hardly find info on those wheels either. Maybe they were discontinued also?

Eh, looks like Weld manufactured the Cragar Drag Star FX wheels. So they're most likely discontinued too.
