Default Need Better Fitting Rear Drag Rims?

Centerline no longer makes "custom" backspace.

I'm getting together a petition to get Centerline to make Convo Pros with more backspace:

9.5"x15 - 7bs would be a much better fit for our cars.

Sign up here with your name and city, and I will email Centerline, and meet with them. Or they will ignore me again <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> .

That would be a sweet wheel. I have that size wheel on my wife's TA and they look awesome.

Paul? You have 7" BS Centerlines? How did you get those? Just curious. They told me they won't make them <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0"> .

Guys, this isn't a GP. You don't have to buy anything. I'm not going to spam you. I talked with them and they said there is not enough interest to make racing rims for late model Fbodies.

Weld Wheels fit good, but require grinding of your brakes. That's not actually a good fit. Convo's don't need grinding, and are lighter, but need more backspace for modern cars. Plus they weigh nothing (11lbs).

If you think mfr's should make racing parts for our cars, put down your name and city. That's all. When I get 100 names I'm going to show them there is interest.

What's in it for me? Nothing. Matter of fact, I already have rims. I'm just disappointed that Centerline won't make rims that fit new cars, hell, cars made in the last 10 years.

If there is no interest, fine. Say so and I'll drop it.

No we have Bogart Racing Wheels on Jessica's car. The rears tuck in very well. Not the "Bling, Bling" look like my Convo Pros. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
