Iskwezm, why only put Weld 2.0 wheels on? The dang Alumastar 2.0 wheels are like $500 each while the ProStars are $250 each.
My existing Mag 500 wheels have the standard OEM thick flange. We would have to fab up a spacer or something to make the shank nuts work. That is a bit scary at 150mph.
I hate running mis-matched tires and wheels, but this is really just for the track and race events.

I know theres a huge price difference, but i just like the look of the Aluma Stars 2.0.The Pro Stars just look generic because everybody has them. Theres also a difference in weight too.I know Centeline came out with some new forged wheels that were pretty cheap(or cheaper).

I have been looking around and came across a picture of Parnelli Jones' Bud Moore 1970 Mustang Mach 1.

That is not an unattractive wheel if I can find it in a mag style lug. Any ideas who might care them?
I found PS Engineering Vintage Wheels that make a 15" T/A II wheel that looks close. Not sure if it is a mag lug though.

For the most part you'll only find mag style lugs on aluminum or mag wheels that have the deep flange bolt surface. The Ansen Sprints I had use those deep shank lugnuts and so do most of the older aluminum and magnesium wheels. Steel wheels don't have the deep flange so they use the 60* conical seat.

You can't really machine a steel wheel for mag lugs because it needs a much deeper flange. They are pretty hard to find these days, apparently. They sure help on the track though.
