I read there's a vendor that powder coats them solid black a while ago. Ive searched and I can't find that thread anywhere. I think a solid color would look better than the partial black with aluminium.

Racestar Wheels makes a 92 Drag Star Dark Star. I recently bought a set for my car when I get a chance to get out to our local track. Basically maintenance free just use soap and water to keep clean.

looks sweet! what kind of tire setup are you running? also, how much did you pay for the entire setup? i'm also looking into these as well since they appear to be more affordable.

SoSlow1

I paid $1180 for the wheels. 17x4.5 fronts and 17x9.5's on the rear. I run M&H 185/55/17 fronts with M/T 275/40/17 on the rear. I wheeled and dealed on the tires so I have a little less then $2000 in the whole set. If you are on Facebook message Cody Spears he is the dealer I went with and a good guy to work with.

Awesome! I've dealt with Cody before when I had my camaro. I'll definitely get with him. Thanks!

Do these stick out in the rear on a z06?

SoSlow1

No not at all. I have a widebody and actually used a 1" spacer on the rear to put the wheel out a little further in the wheel well. The 17x9.5 wheel I bought had the 6.86" backspacing.

1" spacer? How does that work switching back to your street set up? I didn't know you could go with that much.

SoSlow1

I run 1 1/2" spacers for my street wheels. I had wheels that fit a coupe body fine then when I went to the widebody shipped the wheels to Weldcraft and had them widened 2" to the inside. The spacer helped put the tire/wheel back flush with the rear fenders. I've never had problems running spacers either on my street wheels or my drag set.

Can you give details on how to do this and a parts list? I have oem cup wheels and was wanting to male a drag set up out of the 18" replica cup wheels with a 40mm offset but it will be exactly 1" further in ward than the factory wheels.
