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.

Here's the kicker... $260 a wheel! Can't beat that. Rear is under the car, should be all bolted in later this afternoon. 11:00 a.m. here now. Waiting for some paint to dry on some things and then it's time to bolt things up. Stay tuned. Thanks for the kind words guys. Gordo... I'm responding to your PM now.

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.

Weld RT-S 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.

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.
