thanks man.. I'm probably going with the same wheels 17x7s and 17x11s but the new MWC 9" rear will be narrowed 2-3" so backspace will be 4.5-5.5 haven't decided. It's hard finding pics of these wheels with narrowed rears to make a decision off.

Great setup man!

well it's official. i'm sold. after seeing the weight diff between 10 spokes and street lites...it's a no-brainer.

Same combo I have, with 295/45 MTs on the rear. I also have the 15x10s for the rear. I will see if I can find better pics

I love them. I bought the 17x7 and 15x10 combo when they first came out with the f-body specific 15s (yes the 15s clear the rear brakes with no grinding). They looked so good I had to buy the 17x11s last spring.

Wheels Look Amazing! I Love Streetlites. Anyone ever powdercoat them? Curious....

I've seen it done on ls1tech and I don't like it. IMO its a sin to powdercoat a polished billet wheel.

how long does the polish effect last on these before you have to spruce them up again? I've got polished billet fuel rails and they last quite awhile and polish very easily so I am hoping these are the same way

Those are the correct specs (I know because I'm a dealer).

They can take a while since they don't typically any of the 17" F-Body stuff.

Your SOM Z/28 looks tight... PSJ
