Someone asked about them a few weeks ago. Don't think anyone has tried them yet though. Not a bad looking wheel for the price. Get them and tell us what you think! lol

Actually those are REAL welds. The summit stars have a recessed area where the lug nut goes into since they do not use a shank lug.

They look real to me, but I didn't think welds required much (if any) grinding on the caliper

On a LT1, the fronts have to use a 5/16th's spacer, and the rears take grinding of the outer fins to fit.

On a LS1, the fronts need a spacer and grinding and the rears need a spacer and grinding.

Pretty much the only wheels that need no Grinding whatsoever are Bogarts, then you have Billet Specialties that just take a little grinding on the front.
