No, they sit pretty damn flush. I just figured that the stock width, a 10" wheel requires 7.5" backspacing to sit flush, so if I take off 3" on each end, that would change the required backspacing to 4.5". So that's what I did. I'll try to get pictures up later this afternoon to show you.

As far as weight goes... I wish I would have weighed them. If I had to guess, I'd say they are lighter than the Prostars I had on the car before. No way are they heavier... the same, maybe, but I honestly believe they are lighter. Thanks for everyone's interest and positive words.

How are you getting these for $260 a wheel? Everywhere I look the msrp is over 400 a wheel. Please do tell where I can get these for $260!!!

Jimsracingtires.com. http://www.jimsracingtires.com/rts-71.html. They'll be available in 17" soon too. Even black if you want them. Jim and Brian are great guys. 3 week wait time was the only down side, but damn they are sexy wheels.

These are the NEW Weld RT-S wheels. They have a welded in center instead of the bolted in center like the R/T. Yes you can find 15x10 polished or black centers for $260.00 per wheel.

Yes they are street and strip. They are working on 17 and 18 inch wheels as well. Said it would be a few more weeks on the larger diameters.

Sold me LOL, I've been waiting to buy the R/Ts. They look 100x cleaner with the welded centers, and for $260 a pop how can I say no?

Badass wheels man, can't wait to see them on the car!

Thanks guys... if it would just stop snowing I could finish things up. Yes, sadly I have to work on my car outdoors, but at least I keep it covered well. Snowed all day Wednesday, and rain/snow mix all day Thursday. I was out there diehard'ing it Wednesday in snow clothes so I could put on the sway bar. Just need to make suspension adjustments now and I can get it on the ground. A **** load of Utahns must have washed their cars on Monday & Tuesday to bring on all this horrible weather. Grrrr! Hopefully I'll have it finished and pictures posted over the weekend. Thanks again for all the positive comments.
