for an ls1 with these on a 15x8 wheel what would be the correct backspacing i see there are to choices on a 15x8 wheel think they were 4.5 and 5.5. Dont want to have to run a spacer or anything

how about an update? I see these for sale on summit but do the 15"'s fit on stock LS1 brakes? I dont care for the 15x10 though, I want 15x12 and the BS for those looks like a good fit as long as the brakes clear.

Update would be good. What's the projected date the first wheels will be made?

I don't think the shipments from China have arrived yet. The only pics of real wheels were at the SEMA show. The ones on the GW website and summit are all really good electronic art work.... not real... look at the other front wheel on the roadster.

I still don't think anyone will see these before June.... if ever.

Bummer. They looked like a great deal. But I`m not buying something, mounting it, and finding out it doesn`t fit!

Those wheels at SEMA weren't "real" production wheels. They were made out of solid billet aluminum. That's why they looked so good at the show. The production wheels from China will not look as good.

So 15 in rims won't clear some brakes?I was told on a 94 Z28 that 15x10 wit a 7 1/2 backspace would fit.Was going to run a Hoosier Quick time 27x10.5 .I'm new to these cars and trying to help out a neighbor.

They will fit that car .. unfortunately 93-97 have smaller brakes than the LS1 cars .. so no problem .... UNLESS he upgraded the brakes
