Summit Wheels

I needed a set of wheels to mount up with street tires for cruising and to/from the track. I put way too much abuse on the race rubber last year and ended up using two sets to get through the season. I really wanted another set of ProStars but it wasnt in the budget for new ones and used ones seem scarce so I picked a set of these up.

One of the knocks I've had against the Summit cast wheels is the lug nut bores being small and needing a thin wall socket at best to work. I know some have used the internal drive "tuner" lug nuts with some success. While surfing around, I found that McGard makes a spline drive lug nut. They seem to fit the bill pretty well.

Good enough for street tires to run around on. They sure arent Weld's, but oh well ;)

what was the weight difference?

I didnt weight them as they will have street tires anyway, but they are darned heavy compared to real Welds. I would bet the my Weld / Hoosier combo weighs less than just the cast wheel.

Got tires on them today and on the car. Tires are 245/60/15 for normal street use.

If I dont go to the track tomorrow, it should be on the ground and ready to start driving. Still a lot of tuning to do on the MAF conversion but it runs and hits target AFR through 2.0 MAF volts :D
