Default Street lites

Congrats. They look awesome. Can't wait to see the finished product. Hoping to pick up a set of street lites myself in the near future. Best looking wheel IMO.

Look great man. I had a hard time picking between them and the Dark Stars I ended up going with.

They look great man. Love the Street Lites - my fave wheel for these cars. Do yourself a favor and seam them with shineseal or similar product or you'll never have that shine again.

No problem. Shineseal goes on easy, and works well on true billet wheels. I applied some to my 17" streetlites when new and you can't even tell its there. Makes for much easier cleaning and can be reapplied as needed.

What size rear tire? What rear brakes are you running? What is the backspacing on the front wheels?

They are 275/60's. Stock Lt1 rear brakes. I believe the front Street Lites are 1 5/8 BS.

Cool wheels man. I cheaped out and went with weld stars but those billet street lites are my favorite.

Looks awesome. I love my street lites. I decided to buy rears then save for fronts instead of buying cheaper wheels and I'm glad I did.

Did you have to grind the rear brakes?

Yes, initially when I had previously ran Weld Draglites. I didn't have to grind anymore with these new wheels. Note, that I have a narrowed S60 now, and the wheel backspacing are 5.5" as opposed to 7.5" stock backspacing with stock length rear end.

Looks good. As bad as I hate to say it I think a set of these are in my future, but in an 18 inch configuration.
