summit wheels

Anyone running the summit quick 8 wheels? Im thinking about getting 4" fronts, and 10" rears, with 6.5 backspacing. Like to have a 295/50 rear and some skinnies up front. I know, I know, they are a cheap wheel, but Im on a pretty tight budget with this car. Pics or advice would be nice. Thanks.

Re: summit wheels

i dont have the quick 8 wheels, but i did get cheapo summit 15x4's up front with hoosier skinny's. fit great, feel much lighter than iroc wheels, but the hoosiers are like 10 lbs each. the wheels will pit up easily and wont have a great shine after 2 months. haha but they work.

Re: summit wheels

Most of the summit brand wheels are cast, as compared to their brand-name counter parts being forged. Cast wheels are considerably heavier than forged and the performace will suffer as such.
