Hazard- just one pic with the center cap removed would be great... I probably wouldn't run them.

also, what's the thickness at the mounting holes?
Here is the picture you are looking for. I took the picture last night, but didnt take it off the camera. It appears the center is not polished, but i am sure it wouldnt take much work to do, its not a very big area.

I will see if i can get a thickness for you when i get home.

Like i said, the car is in storage, I will try to do it this weekend. Its a little ways away, and in a real tight area, but i am just as anxious as you guys are to see how they fit.

They look pretty nice. I'm going to wait and snag a pair for my 93. I don't have the money right now so the wait isn't going to bother me.

Yeah, supposedly they are coming out with the 15x10 in a 7.5" backspacing. But it won't be out until sometime in July.

Alright i went over to the storage and test fitted the fronts on. I did not have the lug's yet, so I couldn't bolt them on, but they fit fine on the fronts WITH NO SPACER.

Here are some pics: http://s109.photobucket.com/albums/n...egWeld/fronts/
And here is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzD_n3ryAOY

Cant wait to get the rears

from the looks of it, the wheel studs don't stick out any.... to be track legal you'll need longer studs.

had a chance to measure the thickness?

nope they will be track legal, studs dont have to stick out the end just have to catch more then 1/2 the shank lug. From the looks of it they are just about to the end of the wheel which will be plenty

The studs do some right to the ege of the wheel, so most of the lug will catch it. I am putting in ARP studs anyways so i am not worried about it.

Did you get rears also, or just the fronts?

actually thats incorrect. to be legal the stud must pass the diameter of the stud into the head of the lug nut. in other words on a 12mm stud it needs to pass 12mm past the face of the rim. but most techs dont check for that unless the car is putting up fairly serious e.t.
