Default NEW Center Line Competition Series wheels

anybody heard of these yet?
http://www.centerlinewheels.com/wheel_deals.php(go here and select "Chevy Camaro")

The first 5 shown are the new ones. Looks like they only list backspace up to 5" but says "custom available". I tried calling Centeline, but no answer

i'd hate to spark up more excitement over wheels that dont end up clearing LS1 brakes, again, but maybe we'll get lucky this time. If not, its a couple more choices for guys with drag brakes and narrowed rearends.

Those are pimp. I would lay down some cash for those today if I knew they fit. Maybe someone could be a tester? 1-2-3 not it lol.

I called again and talked to someone at Center Line. He said with the 15x10 you can get backspace from 3.5"-7.0" in half inch increments. I asked about brake clearance and he had no clue.

Well I can tell you that the 15x10 in the Telstar and COnvo Pro fit with the 5 inch backspace with no grinding.

I called Centerline today and was told that the clearences on the inside of these wheels are the same as the convo pro. The rep knew about the use of the convo pro 9X10 with a 6.5" backspacing and that these "should" fit if the convo pro's did. The only thing that worries me is the fact that they can only go to a 7" backspace. I've been told that firebirds (what i've got) have slightly wider rear fenders than the Camaros, so I'd assume that this would hide "most" of the 1/2 inch extra that would be hanging off of the outside of the wheel. I'm very close to dropping some cash on these, but, i'm right in the middle of a motor build right now, and CANNOT afford a set of race brakes if they don't fit.... I wish someone from Centerline could just get these on a car to test....

I can tell you that the every Convo Pro I have ever trie fit without grinding the calipers.. The Telstars I have fit, only after grinding the calipers. I suspect that the rims you show are the same as the Telstars...

My car has 3" off side of the rear, so I dont need as much backspacing.

legally i dont know what you can do being you didnt copyright or trademark the images, but they are your designs. get a good lawyer and maybe i can buy some centerlines from you one day? sucks, ive been in that situation before.
wheels look badass. i prefer the quality of a centerline over others anyway.

If you do have to grind/etc., could you try and take some pics for us? I am seriously digging a set of the Split Spokes.

You shoulda just bought one back wheel and checked it for fitment lol.
