Default Current Drag Wheel Offerings

I've been trying to get info on current drag racing wheels available for the LS1 4th gen F-body and have run into old, or dead links.

I have a set of Convo Pros I can get pretty cheap, but don't want to have to do a ton of grinding to get them to clear the rear calipers.

What backspacing is required for correct fit for other wheels?

What are the current options out there that are a direct fit besides the billet specialties or the weld RT wheels?

Maybe the powers that be could update the stickies to reflect any new found information

rear you are going to need 7.5 backspacing on most of the wheels but race stars are the 6.25..

As far as not doing a lot of grinding or a little bit you really are limited to Bogarts, the new series of Weld wheels (not the prostars or draglites), CCW drag pack, Fbody specific billet specialties, Racestars and Darkstars.

There is a drag wheel pic thread on here already that has about every drag wheel in it that fits on a Fbody
