Racestar wheels
 
They offer a 17x 4.5 front wheel in a 5x5 bolt pattern. Does anyone on here run these? Curious how the fitment is.

They say all of their wheels are a cast alloy wheel.... That would be fine for street, but heavy.
Other than the lack of a forged center,, I can't say anything other than some of the designs on their page look pretty sharp.

Ya they are definitely not a weld, bogart, or monocoque wheel but they are 190 bucks a piece lol.... My truck is a street/strip build anyway so a little heavier wheel won't hurt.

Ive got some 5x4.5 with adapters on my obs. I havnt ran them yet but I really like the way they look. I also have a set on my mustang and theyre doing fine. Good budget wheel for sure. http://i886.photobucket.com/albums/a...46A7E5CA2F.jpg

They are better than my steel wheels from a weight standpoint, so thats a plus :lol: Considering the pricepoint, they don't have a ton of competition in the midrange performance wheel category. The magnesium and lightweight race wheels are double the price if not more in some cases.
