Default new centerline wheels

So has anyone check them out? I am looking at getting a set and was wondering what anybody elses thoughts on them were. Looking at the new Rev, Qualifier, or Split Spoke.

Been looking at their truck wheels . . . . nice but pricey. American Made.

Saw them when I passed through GA and stopped at the summit store, the split spoke and qualifier are amazing looking in person...

I have the Qualifiers on my car. Heres a couple shots. The fronts fit no grinding the rears will need a lot I would just run drag brakes in the rear.

For a forged wheel they are actually really cheap.
They are nice and light and look good

On the centerline website they show only up to 5" backspace being available. Did you special order the 7"?

The site says 5 ++ back spaces available so if you call them they will make what you want. Warning though these will not work on the rears with out heavy grinding on the 15's the fronts fit no grinding.

15x8 Telstars required no grinding on the rear of my car (LT1). When I spoke to Centerline a couple weeks ago, they told me that if the 15x8 clears, then the 15x10 should as well. Sounds like the Qualifiers may have less clearance than the Telstars.

BADHAWK - I assume it wasn't the width of the rim that was giving you issues?

No width was no issue they actually hit in a weird place where the bolt goes threw the caliper so basically it is the 15in height issue.

I just ordered a set today. Got a really great deal on them. I got the split 5 spokes look like d-10's. Wheels, lug nuts, bolt in valve stems, and shipping was 774.
