I would assume polished but who knows. More importantly, where do I buy these?

Yeah I love the RT S wheels from weld, they are perfect for cars that have big brakes like corvettes, just a little more pricey for the high pad.

The deal breaker for me was the unilug design. To me thats asking for failure holding the wheel on and centered with some thin washers.

I went with 17/15 BS Street Lites. I'm in the middle of getting the ride height where I want it and hopefully will have that done by the end of the weekend when I get time (hosting a family garage sale this weekend = chaos). I love everything about the street lites, but the one thing I'm not thrilled about is how the fronts have a more aggressive offset than the rears. I installed the long ARP studs on the car here recently and will probably end up rolling the quarter panel lip and buying some hubcentric wheel adapters and longer shank lugs and try and push the rear wheels out about 1/2" or so. I think that would make them match the front better.

Yeah I have a 5/16" spacer on my rears and I love the way it looks. I also rolled my fenders because my car is lowered so I had to for the weight transfer.

Do you have any pictures? I'm looking into putting 17in street lites in the front of my car as well. What size and backspacing are they?

yeah i called about streetlights the price was not to bad for a 17,15 setup , i got a price with the normal 15s not the f body ones, i thought it was to much extra to get the f body ones, and my calipers are all ready grinded down for the prostars

IF you go to Race Star's website, look at the dealer page. I get mine from HTP Motorsports, best price..
