Ray - I'm not sure if those other billet specialties wheels will fit. They designed a specific 15x10 rear in the street lite wheel to clear the rear caliper on these cars with no grinding. If you don't wanna touch your brakes you're literally limited to the street lites, weld rts, and race stars (race stars take a bit of grinding, not near as much as a weld draglite though).
If you're really in love with the idea of drag lites, maybe give some consideration to running drag brakes in the rear, that will open up the option to run a drag lite on the rear and not grind the caliper and run 2.5" ARP studs up front with a small 5/16" or so spacer. If you have to grind the fronts it wont be near as much. May want to research this and see if anyone has done it this way to make sure before spending a bunch of money.

I'll think about it again but in the end id probably will buy fitment over looks.
Thanks ryan

If i get them you're more than welcome to borrow them man!! And yeah i'm almost positive im going with the rts. Im still looking around though. I really really love the looks of draglites.
Originally i really wanted the magnum 2.0 that clayton has for sale here buy they wouldnt fit either.
I love the holes type wheels, because the look like old muscle cars and plus my zr1s right now kind of look like the rts designwise
Is that your new pewter camaro you talking about when i pmed you when i wanted to sell my car Ryan?

Im really nervous with grinding brakes, i know maybe its not that jig of a deal but it still makes me unconfortable. Draglites is out of the equation. I will check out bogarts and holeshot.

No that's a Bogart street/strip wheel.
Here is a link to holeshot.

Holeshot are not meant for street use either. Only Bogart street/strip and Billet Specialties are ok for street use and that require no grinding of the rear calipers. With Billet specialties you will grind the front a little bit.
