OK.... I used to have a sweet set of Prostars 15x3 1/2 & 15x10. They were pretty bad ass looking. They probably would have also been very effective for what they were designed for but......I hated the loose & sloppy feel of the skinnys in the front for daily driving. So I sold them three weeks later. I dont know how you guys that run them all the time can do it. I just felt very very unsafe. But again it looked very tough.

So my question is how about a 16x7 or 16x6? For the front. Seems that would be wider than a skinny for "better" control and not as wide or as heavy as the stock 9 inch wheel.

And also I had to use longer studs and a spacer, blah blah blah. I would like to not have to do any of that crap. Does anyone know of a 16x7 wheel that has backspacing to clear the Cobra brakes or does it take a 17inch wheel to clear them WITHOUT a spacer?

And just to be picky.....I want them to be pretty nice looking as MY goal is to run that set up all the time. I REALLY dont want to bring wheels / tires / jack / misc shit to the track with me. Just a cooler and thats it :cool:

Maybe nothing exists like what I am looking for but as always I apprecaite feedback.

That's funny, I bought a sweet set of pro-star skinny's off of this guy one time. They were only like 3 weeks old :D
