Greg Weld Pro stars on a 3rd gen

Anyone have actual pictures of Greg Weld pro stars on a 3rd Gen? I have searched and the only picture I can come up with is a 4th gen that has more BS than our 3rd gens. I am looking at a 15 x 5 and 15 x 10 5.5 BS combo however any combo pic will work.

Re: Greg Weld Pro stars on a 3rd gen

y friend has the 15 inch greg welds on his mustang ...pretty much same backspacing...they look horrible due to the big lip that the wheel has in a 15 inch size...with a tire on it ..looks like a coffee can with a rubber around it....17 inch will look a lot better....

Re: Greg Weld Pro stars on a 3rd gen

Parasouth do you have any pics directly from the side?
Preferrably the full side. How wide are your rear wheels and whats the backspace?
Are they slotted like uni-lug or is it just the 1st picture.


Did you have any problems with the front centercaps as it looks like TPI383 did?

I really dig the dual exhaust on your car.

Thanks to both you guys for your help.

No I don't unfortunately.
They have 2 different sizes, 4.5 and 4.75 built in, for easier ford/chevy swappage.

Tires are 275/60/15x10

And yes, you will run into those problems unless you get spacers.
However Weld is apparently in the design process for making larger caps.
