Default Greg weld are to be back on the market

Just figured i would pass on the information. I just talked to a dealer and he said that the company "Greg Weld" did go out of business after he passed away but another company bought them out and are still producing the wheels. They will no longer have the greg weld logo on the center cap but will be the same wheel. Also they have been redesigned to accommodate for the f-bodies to fit the factory calipers. They do come in the 7.5 bs needed to run a 15x10.

$201.00 is the price of the 15x10 with a 7.5 backspacing. I was able to get my 15x10's to fit on my car they are just the wrong backspacing. The ones i got i could not pass up on but they were off a 03 cobra. Not even close to having the right backspacing.

mine fit on my car with some grinding. Mainly on the fins but also on the corners a little. But the guy did tell me that these were redesigned to fit our calipers. Now he did say the only difference would be that they will no longer say greg weld on the logo but that they will still have the same center cap.

I'll believe it when I see it, just like when Greg Weld themselves said the 15x10 7.5BS wheel was going to come out "in a few weeks".

well i already talked to the guy that i am ordering them from and he said his order already consist of forty 15x10 with a 7.5 backspacing. These will also come with free lug nuts and free shipping.

I had to grind on them alot but i grinded a little little at a time. My main point were the fins, bottom and top corner, and the hollow area where the slip bolt goes in to hold on the caliper. But as thick as the parts were where i was grinding it didnt bother me that much. everything is still probably 1/2" or more still

Default What is the new company named?

So, who is this new company?

I'd like to (yet again) drool on my computer after bringing up their 15 x 10 (with 7.5" backspacing) F-body wheel page!

LMK!
