either going weld or dark stars
Look into their weights. I was surprised at how heavy racestars were when I weighed them. If I’m going light I want all the weight reduction. I sold them and bought F14s. Love them, can’t wait until the tears arrive.

Get in touch with paul@pkautodesign and he will fix you up at a great price.
He likes this combo on F14 Forgestar Drag Edition

17x4.50 with M/T 28x6x17 Radial Tire
17x9.50 with M/H 275/50/17 Drag Radial
This is a lot of rear tire and they will look and fit great.

my 17x4.5 darkstars with mt sportsman sr weigh only 8-9lbs less (weighed them just forgot exact amount) than the 20x9 velgens i took off. hard to imagine any measurable gain with that little difference. i have contemplated selling the fronts and just keeping the rears for track use...

Racestars aren’t crazy light. I weighted my racestars bracket racers at 20.4lbs when I received them. I said f*** this! Ordered F14s and sold racestars. Same size F14 was 15lb. I’ll take the extra 5lbs. Car is noticeably quicker with the skinnies.

can you run the tire sensors with the forgestars?
