I looked at those new Dragstar's and if they had 15x8 with 4" backspace I would buy them, but like Weld Racing wheels they only offer 4.5" and 5.5" backspace They don't even come in 3.5" backspace. I don't care for the other design though...

Haha yeah, that's the first size I looked at (15x8) hoping to see some better spacing options.

I like that they look like they are one solid piece, which should help eliminate the clicking that I get with my prostars.

clicking you get from center caps ?? well i just recieved on 6/5/08 2 dragster wheels for my 81 malibu my test fit revealed the shallow cap prevents the rim seating in the front ----spoke to greg weld degsins theres a new designed center cap being made wont be out for 6 to 8 weeks so keep in mind if you decide to order any
