Default Anyone have 15" Hopsters?

I'm thinking of getting these for drag-type wheels and think they would be very nice looking and different. The rears will be fine since they offer a 15x8 w/ a 5.25" backspacing but the fronts only offer a 15x4 with a 1.5" backspacing. Seems like that 1.5" backspacing might make it stick out too far on the front. But then again, maybe that means I won't have to use a spacer so it will even out the difference. Any thoughts?

15" wheels are not an easy install, over the F-Cars 12" brakes . . .

So I can get a tire with a decent sidewall on it. Besides, I usually prefer the look of a 15" race wheel over a "bling-bling" wheel.
The Hopsters just seemed like a good alternative to the everyday Prostars or Draglites.
