I don't think there is a Weld rim that doesnt' require grinding...I'm back in the market for track rims as well...

They are not very heavy. The wheels you have listed are GW's not Welds. The fronts you have listed are correct and will bolt right on to our cars. The rears you have listed will NOT fit the rear of our cars.

Yes, those will work. They will however require grinding of the calipar to make them fit.

There are Weld Racing RT Series wheels that will work without grinding. They were conceived with the LS1 in mind. 15x10 at 7.5" BS and 15x4 at 1.5"BS. There are numerous styles offer but not all have images available:

5.5" is the correct backspace for the 8" wide rims he was asking about. If he wanted to go with 10" rims, he would need the 7.5" backspace you listed.

Are the Greg Welds like a gun metal or more of a chrome look?

Actually they don't make a 10 inch at all right?

Damn what's up with the 15x10 with 7.5 in some Greg Welds!!!!!

Greg Welds are more of a polished aluminum..same as any Weld Prostar or other rim. Only the 15x3.5 Greg Welds fit our cars. No other size does.
