Thanks for the update.
Maybe I can convince the wife I need a pair of 15X10s for a late Xmas present.

What size was used on the test fitting on a Fbody? They don't list the 7.5 backspacing so I'm assuming one of the other sizes fit...?

He's referring to the 15x10 which requires a 7.5 BS if I'm not mistaken. I'd like to know how much the 15x4 and 15x10 wheels weigh. The price is definitely good on the polished wheels. If they fit without grinding, you better get ready to ramp up production.

Here is the brochure on them,it gives you all the info you are looking for. As farr as the 15 inch is concerned, I have not personally fit them, but spoke with the Greg Welds engineer earlier today and he reassured me that all sizes do clear the brakes. I did not ask for info regarding the 15x10 fitment that you are looking for.

i just bought the front prostars might have to wait and get my hands on these instead. I know it says no spacers will be needed probely, but what about longer studs. Are you going to still have to upgrade to 3" studs ?

You will not need longer studs, the GW Wheels use a special lugnut that allows you to mantain the use of your factory wheel studs.

Very nice...."the original company I started fell apart because we tried to buy Chinese-made wheels and it bit us in the ***.....let's just start another company"

Call me out of touch with the latest trends, but I still prefer the look of the original Weld Pro Star wheels. The thin spoked Greg Weld wheels might look ok after I see them on a car in person.

If you were involved with the situation at Weld as I was, you would understand that Chinese wheels did not take the company down. I am sure others will agree with me that this thread was started to discuss Greg Welds new wheel line. Do yourself a favor and educate yourself before making false accusations. If you have questions, you can PM me.

A Purchase order has been placed. Maybe the sales department may not be up to speed because of it being a totally new company. I don't work for Summit, so I cant speak for them. This is only an assumption, but they should be ready to start shipping them after the first of the year.

I'd also llike to know where I can get on a notification list of availability. I plan to order a pair of 15X10 with 7.5" backspacing (if they are available, don't see that size in the .pdf) in Jan/Feb.
