Just ordered my Centerline Telstars from Summit!

Very excited and nervous. I've heard plenty of mixed reactions about these wheels on our cars. Some say they look out of place, some say they look awesome. I love them personally. I got 15x8 in the back and 15x4 in the front. I just need to figure out now what I'm gonna put for tires on them.

For those of you who aren't familiar with them, they look like this:

My car is dark green (polo green) so I think the polished/chrome look will be even better on a dark colored car like that.


I'd love to get drag radials but I don't want to be driving around on them on the street, because this car is a street car (is that even bad for them?) So I might put some traction TA's on the back. I dont know about the front.

Any input is welcomed

Sorry we got side tracked

As for a real opinion they look really good, makes the car look much faster, and I'm not talking ricer wing and stickers faster, I am talking drag strip faster.

Good Buy.

I've got them, and haven't had one person tell me they don't like them when they see them in person. If I were you I'd run nitto drag radials, 275/50/15's. I drive 80 miles/day on nittos and love them. With 26x11.50x15 et streets that had 3 passes on them, the 15x8's and et's weighed 40lbs mounted. A little on the heavy side, but not too bad. Also the fronts with 165r 15 cheapo tires wighed 26lbs.

I have the telstars with et streets. They look very sharp. I have gotten a ton of compliments on them. They look real good, they fit well and tuck up underneath the fenderwell like they should, and they are cheap. If you want buy another set for the back to put your slicks on.
