New look, Weld Pro Stars

[MattZ28]

15x8 rear, 15x3.5 front

Nitto 275/50/15 555R`s out back, Lemans Metric 165r15s up front



Paint has DP Max Wax (hasn`t been cleaned in about 5 days either) if anyone cares.

looks nice, i wonder if it would look better lowered. Do you think you can lower it if your running welds like that?

Hmm, not trying to criticize, but not sure I understand? I thought maybe you`d have drag radials on there when you went down to a 15" wheel, but you`ve got street tires. What was the reason for eschewing stock 17" wheels for smaller ones? Weight savings? Doesn`t the Camaro have 12" front rotors? I`d think a 15" wheel would be a close fit over that.



Anyway, they have a nice muscle car look, sort of drag-racery. A little odd looking to my eye, though. :wavey

They ARE drag radials....Nitto 555R`s....



Each front wheel weighs about 25lbs, whereas the SS ones are around 55lbs (weights are with tires obviously), and the rears are around 40 each, once again, compared to the 55lb`ers that were on there (17x9 SS 10-spokes)



I think the front rotors are 11" actually.....I had to grind the rear calipers (common) to get the rear wheels to fit without using a spacer. I used a 5/16" spacer in the front though.

Oh... suddenly it makes a lot more sense...

Mmmm...a lot less of unsprung weight.





Hey bro...I`ll still beat ya....In the corners





Looks like it means business.

Haha, I wanted to run it on an AutoX course slowly as a joke, but I don`t think they`ll let me

Not my speed, but take a look at my taste in wheels. Paint sure looks nice!!! :up

[ZaneO]

Looks really nice, bud

[MattZ28]

Thanks man!

So, where`s the pics of it staging for a drag strip?



I like `em. I still want to see what a set of the 17" Cragar SS mags would look like on a camaro though. Never seen one so far.

I thought the SS wheels looked great.
