They look good, i've been seriously concidering them. Thinking of selling my vette rims and getting a set of these
Did either of you guys have to do any cutting, grinding, or BFH'ing to get these rims/tires ot fit? Do you guys DD with those ET streets?

Mine fit on flawlessly with no grinding/work. And yes, I'm now DD'ing the ET streets... still iffy on them though!
The fronts are kumho 165/80R15, aka VW beetle tires.
I paid $440 for the rear (rims and tires) from a friend, $173 for the front rims, and $153 for the front tires. BUT, I picked up all this at the Summit store in McDonough.
The rear wheels are kinda small (just took the 17x11 ZR1's off), but they hook awesomely. This pic kind of shows how small the rears look...

huh, yeah i know what you mean on being iffy with dd'in the et streets i dd'd my street radials a few times cause i was to tired to switch back after a race, it was all good till i drove on AZ streets in heavy rain, hydroplaned everywhere, made even more fun by the fact that my windshield wiper blades keep trying to escape so i couldnt really use them. I'd really like to run the 10" stars on the back, i'll wait and see if Dopd chimes in on those

I choose the 28x11.50 because it was just a bit on the narrow side for the 10 inch rim and would give me a little extra play if I needed it. Right now with the front QA1's set on 1, no sway bar, and the rears set on 6 the thing squats HARD but it does not rub anywhere.
There has been soo many threads with naysayers vigorously debating the fact that 6.5" BS won't work. On Camaro's, I say they do stick out way too far, but on TA's and Birds they sit even with the fender when looking at it from the top and front.
