All I ask is Give me within 30 days for All your concerns to be handled, and i will have a answer for you.

Also This is Not Just a Race wheel, It is Also a Street Wheel. This wheel Has a Super Lightweight Center with a regular Hoop that is used on all there 15" wheels that is Durable, Thats the reason there also a Street wheel.

so these rims could be used daily on the street with no problem? Can any other 15" rims? I have a street/strip car and i would like to buy some 15" rims that i can put some m/t et street radials on so i can use them on the streets and hook at the track as well. without swapping set ups constantly and i only have money for one set of rims and rubber this year.

If someone could make them fit stock ls1 brakes and have a video of their car rolling with the rims on there I would be first in line to buy them. Untill I see/hear that they are working I will definatly not be a test mule.

in the last post that shouldnt of got deleted someone did try and i wish he would post up! But he said no matter how much you grind the caliper you would still need Lt1 brakes or drag brakes. I wanna say he said something about the hub not fitting???

until they announce that the wheels have been redesigned they will not fit ls1 brakes. Apparently even the LT1 brakes need a little grinding.

Car is minitubbed with a shortened axle and offset control arms.

15x4 2.125 Backspace Front



15x10 5" BS




Those are 29.5w's tucked in the rear. I still need to adjust the tq arm and control arms to pull the axle foreword a bit.
