I think CEndres' old car, now owned by ARE, has those on there.

Very liteweight, but the lighter the more you can't drive them on the street.

Unless they offer custom backspacing specs that aren't listed, they'll never go under an F-body w/o sticking out 3-4 inches. For a 15x10 wheel, you need at least 6.5" BS, most people prefer 7.5" BS...

Ditto what George C said. I looked into (and would have bought them) if they had our backspacing. According to the Jegs salesman that helped me, they don't. <img src="images/icons/frown.gif" border="0">

It's a shame, because they are one hell of a rim!

Lightest wheels? Prostars, Draglites and Bogarts (not sure of the style).

I'm very sure that CEndres' old car has 15x10/7.5 backspace Alumastars on back. Look for his website. They are made by Weld after all.

I have 15x10 Prostars.
