Just curious- the remind me af the old telstars. I need some 17" street wheel in a 11" with 4.5 BS- so options are slim- theses are priced right- and I've never seen a set on a F-body.

I have Weld rt-s in 15's on my car now...I am looking for a cheaper 17 that not everyone runs...BS Street lites are everywhere here in P'cola FL area. Since I done the MWC 9" marrowed 3"/side- 17 or 18" wheel choices went way down. hard to find 11" rears with 4.75" backspacing. Fikse, CCW,(or other high end forged wheels) street lites, TT2's, now I found these.
I thought about the Welds like I have in 17/18's- but at the cost for those- I'd spend a lil extra and buy CCW or Fikse.

I'm not a fan of the center caps but I'm sure I could find alternatives or at the very least just not use them

They offer a "F Body Specific" version in the RT just like they do in the Street Lite. Just make sure you order the right part number. There will be a $100 dollar difference in the f body specific version when you go to order them. So that should tell you that you have the right ones ordered. I believe Jegs and Summit both put an "F" in the middle of their part number signifying that they are f body specific and have clearance for the stock rear brakes.
