Which Wheels?

Just to get an idea of which to get.

do you think I should keep the Weld Pro-Stars or get the Centerline Terminator Series Billet Tel-Stars?

pics below. My car with the prostars on it. and the 2nd pic is of the tel-star.

Also could someone shop the Tel-stars on the car for general comparison.

Re: Which Wheels?

I vote Bogarts. If you're gonna change, make it a NOTICABLE change...

Re: Which Wheels?

I am leaning more towards the Tel-stars since they are less $$ the the welds and the bogarts. the 15x4 fronts run $120 each and the 15x10 rears are $149 each.

Re: Which Wheels?

Check which lugnut options you have on the Tels. Mark's had a taper-seat style (for acorn nuts)...couldn't use the deep-shank/shoulder type. Had to machine them

I would rather have the acorn style, I hate the shanked style lugs, only thing they are good for is strippin threads from studs.

Re: Which Wheels?

couple things, do you have 3" studs? If so, the will stick out A LOT on the tel stars compared to the pro stars. Also, make sure the tel star rears are 6.5" BS if you go 10" wide...otherwise it will stick out and look like shit IMO...unless you're getting the rear end shortened
