Dragstar or Jegs?

[2k05gt]

I am getting conflicting information on the Jegs, some say they fit fine with spacers, others say you need new studs, lugs and spacers and would not trust the jegs. I need to get these soon but am not sure what to get, I want to save money but I would like plug and play

lmfao dude I swear I was in the same boat for the last week. Today I ordered my 15x10 and 17x4.5 racestar wheels. Just do it bro and avoid the hassle of a universal wheel, the racestars are made for the s197

Im running the Jeg sprot-star wheels 15x4 and 15x8s. I use them and have no issues. Youll need a 3/8 spacer for the front.

Since my BFG'S have seen better days I was considering going with the new Nitto 05R 18" tires on the wheels but looking at the $$ I coughed and said to myself, should just go ahead and get a good wheel tire setup and call it a day.

What is the general tire setup for our cars that works the best? I was looking at the race stars with MT ET streets and skinnies from BBR. The Brenspeed car looks good with the Race Stars wheels and M/T DR's and skinnies but think that car is an auto and is lowered with brake rotor upgrade like my car. Think but not sure that for stick cars ET street's work better than DR's. My car is a stick.

Also looked at JEG's but that wheel setup looks like hit or miss with our larger brakes. I want a wheel/tire setup that will go right on the car with no hassles.

Look's like for me the race stars will win out with et streets. Anyone know were the best deals are at?

The jegs rears required some grinding to my rear calipers on my 05. For the extra couple bucks I'd get the racestars that fit right.

+1 a little grinding on my 05 but Im happy with the jegs.

i got the jegs and not sure if they still do it, but got front blems for 63.00 each and the rears i think were 90.00 each. Could not even figure out why they were blems and they balanced fine.
