Looks great!! I went with the 8s also, you can fit a 11.5 tire wich is plenty for most cars. Theres guys flying on 9" wide tires

could you run a 15X8 in the front with a 5.5bs if you didnt want skinnys up front and just run a normal tire?

I was thinking the same thing but figured when the 10 bolt let go I'd probably get a 9" and to my assumption (havn't done research) I'd need different backspacing anyway. Not to mention it should be a pretty easy rear wheel/tire combination to sell if needed.

Thanks for all the compliments guys.. the car gets polished more than it gets driven. lol

Oh yea I forgot to reply to that one..

3.73 gear and a 26" tire has me pretty ideal for the car on bottle.. I'd need a 4.10-4.30 gear to utilize a 28" tire and that day will come with a narrowed 9" and some 325/50's on some seriously deep dished race stars.

So yeah I'm getting ready to purchase the 15x3.75 and the 15X10's! They are some preety bad *** looking wheels. Just curious to if you all will agree along with MT's site that the P325/50R15 will fit on the 10" rim????? How will this fit under my wheel well? I am able to fit my 315's after I beat the fender in a bit. Would I have to cut the bumb stop area and some off the front fender portion of the inner rear wheel well? Sounds confusing I'm sure but I'm sure most will no what I'm talking about! Or will I have to just keep beating that **** in for the 325???? Oh yeah it's on my 94 Z28 Camaro Thanks guy's and the car above looks bad ***!

JIMSRACINGTIRES is offering this and they are still honoring it for February, I just spoke with them tonight and they are hooking me up, Drop them a PM

We have the following RaceStar Industries Dragstar polished wheels in stock: 15x3.75"-1.5" backspacing, 15x8"-5.5" backspacing, 15x10"-6.5" backspacing and 15x10"-7.5" backspacing. Our 4 wheel set price for the 15x3.75" & 15x8" is $669.00 and the 15x3.75" & 15x10" 4 wheel set price is $699.00 and we also include free lug nuts (7/16", 1/2" or 12mm) (open or closed), free lug washers, free chrome steel valves and free shipping within the continental US. Each wheel comes with a center cap in the wheel box from the factory. Also, for the month of January we will discount all 4 wheel sets by an additional $20.00 if you call Jim's Racing Tires toll free at 1-800-281-0409 and mention that you are a LS1Tech member or that you saw this posting on the LS1Tech website. Quantities are limited so get them while supplies last.

Now, let me try and set the record straight on the whole Greg Weld/RaceStar Industries Dragstar wheels. When Greg Weld passed away in 2007 the Greg Weld Company went out of business in early 2008. Greg's 2 leading salesmen decided to continue with the Dragstar wheel line and created RaceStar Industries. They took the great looks of the GW Dragstar wheel and redesigned the back half of the wheel so it would clear the large disc brakes on the late model Camaros, Trans Ams and other muscle cars. It took some time to get them right, but it was worth the wait. The RaceStar wheels are a direct bolt on and do not require the use of spacers or grinding down of calipers. These light weight wheels are perfect for street or strip.
