Total investment in wheels 1090.00 well worth it to me for a "billet" wheel.

I will never grind my calipers, I autocross and do track days. The stock calipers can spread with abuse and grinding will only make that worse.
It amazes me that they can not make a 15" that will clear. I have Convo Pros that clear just fine.
They get the rears right but dropped the ball on the fronts. I will keep waiting for some company to get it right and build a streetable rim that fits, period.

I do not believe there is any sacrifice in the caliper...
my opinion only...

They look great, I've been wanting to get a set for some time now. In fact I have the Billet Specialties product guide laying here in front of me. What size & backspace did you order?

15X10 Rear 7.5 backspace made specifically for the ls1.
fronts are 15x4 made for the ls1. You do have to grind the caliper on the fronts.(not really a big deal)
There are some good pics on another post.
