Billet Specialties Wheels Does anybody have pictures of Billet Specialties wheels on an F-body i can see, I find them much more attractive than weld wheels. It would be great if someone could post a picture of a 98+ Trans Am with these types of wheels.
Thanks in advance!

Well I believe it has been found out that they will clear LT1 calipers but I don't think anyone has test fitted them on a set of LS1 brakes with new pads.
Whoever test fits them needs to install new pads first to make sure they clear at their maximum thickness.

I think is was established that they won't fit the brakes with our grinding...but no one ever said if the would fit if grinded the caliper like you would for welds or not.
hows that for a compounded sentence.LOL
Keep us posted on what you find out- I really want these...even if I have to do some grinding.

They won't fit at all on LS1 rear brakes.. you can't even grind to get them to fit. there were pics and such on the big long thread I started on them. the overhung center section of the rim hits the mounting bracket and no grinding will help. I heard from Billet Specialities that they might be changing the design a little so they will be able to clear but I'd not keep my fingers crossed.
