There is a reason for that. Find anther wheel for that price and that quality. TT2s are the only thing even close and everyone has a set of TT2s.

My fronts are in the mail

I think they are 1140 shipped with lugs right now, i think thats what i paid for mine. I also got the 15x10 and they are fbody specific so they could be more. To be honest with you the wheels look great but i had to modify the one of my center caps to get it to fit because they didn't machine the wheel correctly. If anyone orders these wheels,check to make sure you got the right ones too, I spent a month going back forth because they sent me the wrong front rims! I did mount the tires though and they were nice enough to take them back, but still the only reason the tires got mounted cause i thought they were the correct front rims.

what is the weight difference between the 17x11 and 15x10?

i plan on going with these in the future but im not sure if it's ok to go with 15x4 & 15x10 and run mickey's on the street because i drive 130mph + (highway challenges) or should i go with the setup above 17x7 & 17x11 for street use?

Maybe in the 15" size. But I can only find about 4-5 pics of cars here on LS1tech of the 17" size.

Search TTII, ZR1, Z06 wheels and see how many hits you get. Those are what I consider "common".

There's less people running these then any other wheel out there right now. Although, I think that will change soon given the price and looks of these wheels...

The rear is near stock ride height. I'll explain, I have a moser 9" out back which automaticly raises the back end up about 3/4 in. I was just going to take the spring isolators out and wrap the upper coil in heater hose to drop it back down but I was worried about the tires hitting the quarter panel. So I actually have a set of sportlines out back for now. I haven't had a chance to drive it yet with the shitty weather in Chicago to see how it feels. If it's too firm for my liking, I'll just make a spacer for the bump stops to ensure the tires down't make contact. The fronts have adjustable QA1 on em.
