Those look amazing. I want to say they're on Project STi Killer but I believe you already did some brake ugrades to it and that front end kinda looks like an LT1.

Damn you guys. I just bought my 17" Street Lites. Those look freakin sick. I wanna see some polished ones without the black. Those black centers sure do look sexy tho. I just want a set of 15" RT-S' to replace my prostars.

They are a kind of pricey, but they are an awesome wheel. I look forward to seeing more pictures of the whole car.

I've had my 17 inch RT-S skinnies since last August. Now I'm waiting on Weld to have their first production run of 15x10s with a 120x5 bolt pattern so they can ship my pair. Supposedly thats happening in about 3 weeks. My cars black so theses are going to look pretty bad *** on the track.

In Mansfield, OH the Meijer Supermarket on North Lexington Springmill Rd looks like your best bet.

I wish I could give you guys more info but you're going to have to pick up a future issue of GM High Tech Performance to see more about the build...

Oh, and if anyone asks, you didn't get these from me!
Don't like 'em. Sorry. Must be an age thing (judging by the comments) and I'm an old fart.

I don't like the wide metal rim to get a skinny sidewall, instead of more rubber sidewall. Nor do I care for the long exposed lug bolts.

Different strokes for different folks. I still like my classics with rubber sidewalls AND chrome.
