Seriously guys, if a few phone calls would help lets get something going. I know handful of guys in my local area that would love to have something different from draglites and prostars. It is sad there are several cars even the same color with the same wheels in the same very very small town area.

Me myself, Id like to see some telstars setup properly if it were ever a possibility, of course the cost is a part of what makes them so attractive so if they feel they have to raise the cost to offset the production of any of these wheels then it would be pointless because I would just buy Bogarts in that case most likely and not have to grind the **** out of my brakes. If I could get a set of Telstars with the correct BS for the current pricing that JEGS has for them then Id be all over it and sit outside with a grinder all day if I have to.

Is anything gonna come of this or what, if I can help I will.

badpewter, do you still have both sets of rears?

I'm talking to Centerline about getting one wheel and then having someone test fit it for them/us. You are a good candidate since we have the other pics.

Maybe it's the white one that has pics of two sizes of wheels.

I have a set of 15x7.5 convopro's on mine with 5" backspace,if you add to the inside
of the wheel it will work.It would end up being 15x9 with a 6.5 backspace,same distance to the edge of the fender as the welds,one inch narrower so more clearance on the inside.

Is this a new wheel with a different offset made for our cars? Won't any Camaro do for a test fit? Or you looking to try different size tires out? If this is a 15 x 10" I'll test fit it .

Not everyone wants the 10", I'd be happy with the 8.5's as well. Given the choice between the two, if the price was similar I'd do the 10 just because.
