Default New Racestar setup

We've been selling a ton of these so figured I'd get some on the personal boss for the nmra race this weekend

I actually like these wheels better than the all too common 5-spoke design. What size are the wheels and tires? I have Brembo fronts so I can't run 15's.

Gotta say I'm really diggin these too much.. I've seen the Bogarts in these style and they look better for some reason, maybe it's just the large diameter rears.. I'm guessing 17s back there, I like more meat when it comes to drag look.

Nice. What do these weigh compared to the drag stars?

After doing more searching and seeing a GT500 with the same wheels, I'm thinking these are the same with 17x7 in the front and 18x10.5 in the rear. I think I have found my future setup when it's time to buy new tires.

Looks good. I wish they made the 5 Stars in a 17x9.5 up front! I know they have them in back that wide but nothing wider than 4.5" up front.

what size tires? the rears look quite a bit bigger than the fronts in height. Any issues with ABS or traction control?

also would like to know what size tires were on the other rims.
