still waiting on race star industries to release them. My car will be running in a week or two and still no wheels to go with it. All my suspension is going in now and my tune is on it way. Looks like i might be rolling on stocks for a little bit longer than hoped for.

Well i just got off the phone With Mike from Race Star Industries. He just told me that the wheels are being produced right now and should be arriving in Kansas City at their shop either the third or fourth week of November. He said that he has personally test fit 5 or 6 LS1 f-bodies and all have fit without issue. These wheels include the 15x8 and the 15x10 with the according backspacing. He said that the revisions on the wheels consist of the spoke being redefined a little more, and the barrel (or hoop) being tuned the opposite way to clear the brakes. This means the way the Greg wheels were designed with the drop of the barrel was on the outside of the face and then it was level with the face causing the issue with brakes. Now the lip is level with the face and the inside of the barrel drops down to accommodate for the brakes. Mike said that he is very familiar with ls1tech and he has came and read post about people being skeptical. He said that he knows that this is due to the promises of the Greg Welds being released and never were. He said at the time of Greg's death himself and Mike were in the proses of redesigning the wheels and were brought to a halt due to the death. The family did not wish to continue the business after that. He says thank you for all the interest in their product and the reason it is taking so long to be released is due to making sure that this will fit our cars without any issue. He said to assure everyone that this is happening and that they will be being shipped out next month. Hope this helps everyone out and as soon as i get mine in i will be sure to post the pictures up.
Also for who is interested they have release the wheels to the public a couple of weeks ago at a local track in Kansas City. They will also have a booth displaying the wheels at: IIRC, PRI in Orlando, Florida At their booth in December.

that sucks. Order you some. You keep ordering more **** for horsepower and nothing to aid getting it to the ground. I removed my **** and it was all warped to hell so i figured to order everything and get it done right the first time.
