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.

Re: Racestar wheels
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.

Re: Racestar wheels
They are better than my steel wheels from a weight standpoint, so thats a plus
 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.
