really considering getting some of these for when I start to track the car, but the caliper grinding makes me a little hesitant. But I really like the way the darkstars look on white cars!

I think they are a great wheel for the price and the grinding is very minor from what ive read. Sure beats what you have to do for prostars. I say go for it, once my car is fixed im going to get a set for my TA.

you don't HAVE to grind. I just did because it was close. With uni-lug, it is possible to mount the wheel off-center and cause it to hit the caliper. With direct drill, you won't have to worry about that issue.

does anyone know where to buy the direct drilled wheels? I can only find the uni-lug pattern for our cars.

with the proper backspacing, yes, they will work. You just need to figure out what BS you'll need to run the 15x5.

Jim's racing tire is showing 3.5 back spacing on them. Anybody running the 15x5?
