That's cool I'm pretty sure those welds are going to be heavier.

Made in China.

Sweet!

Those looks like they have more clearance between the caliper and rim than my TTII's. My fronts are SUPER close to the wheel, been like that since '05 when I put them on.

Noticed in the pics you have not installed the lugnuts, if you have, do they still fit good? You'd be suprised how much a wheel moves around when they are torqued down. Sweet wheels though, what tires you going with?

Made in China.
After a friend of mine had a Chinese made wheel come apart on him at the track, I will pass if that is indeed the case.

Thanks,

I did throw some lugs on just to make sure. Same thing plenty of clearance between the caliper and rim.

Well the rears showed up today and the news was good again. These wheels fit on a LT1 car with no grinding and no spacers. This is a very nice wheel even the inside of the wheel is polished. I'm very happy with this set up so far.

A couple of pics with out the rubber.

Well, Centerline makes the Convo series and they require the least amount of grinding. SO hopefully that is the story for these.

You got a buddy with LS1 brakes who could run a test for us? My mouth is watering for some 15x10's.

I'm thinking they might fit a LS1 there is some room to play with. I will find some one with a LS1 and try them on and post results.
