No engine or trans are in the car. Gonna be a while before I get those in to get it sitting right. Still gotta get the Burkhart Front suspension installed and get the motor and mid plates setup.

Those look a lot better than I thought they would, for a heavy china wheel. What brakes are you running?

So they clear stock brakes with no grinding or spacers?

Yeah it was a take a chance kinda purchase. I wasnt sold on them but figured for under $550 I would chance. They are a good looking wheel. Only have 15x10's in 4.5" & 5.5" Backspacing. They are not Light weight wheels. That doesnt bother me as I plan to do Plenty of street driving.

The fronts clear fine. No spacer. I dont have the rear calipers on the car yet. The rear calipers are ground down pretty good. I am tossing around stepping up to drag brakes.

Those look surprisingly good for a budget street/strip wheel.

I think those are pretty **** hot! They are an awsome wheel for the price. Do you think they would clear the stock breaks w/o grinding or would I have to grind them down a little for them to clear? Also they only sell the 15x10's with a 5.5 bs, is that the wrong bs for a stock length rear end? I believe its suppose to be 7.5 bs idk for sure though.

for a 15x10 usually a 7.5" bs is preferred...and grinding still may be required.

5.5" bs is good for 15 x 8 wheels


correct me if i'm wrong ;-)
