Default buying a set of wheels for 2 cars? LT1&LS1

ok i have a 1994 Z28 and a 2002 Z28 and im trying to find a drag race wheel that could possibly fit both without any grinding or fitment issues....... i want that billet specialties street lite but i know they are hard to fit LS1 cars...... i would like to be able to swap the wheels out when i want to take the LS1 to the track but the LT1 car is more of a all out drag car now so it will be on it 90% of the time....... anyone have any ideas or options? and if i decide to go with the billet specialty wheel what exactly would i have to do to make it fit stock 2002 LS1 brakes and ect? cause it seems that they bolt right up to a LT1 car so i will only have problems with the LS1

if you don't want to grind the LS1 brakes, you're pretty much looking at Bogarts

hmm, i actually dont mind grind the brakes if thats all i have to really do as much as having to hack up the while setup just to get a wheel to work..... cause if i remember its not a whole lot that needs to be grinded right? was there alot of work that needs to be done to get the street lite BS wheel to fit an LS1?

I belive summit stars fit and they are much cheaper. I know you wont have to grind the rears but you may have to a very small amount on the fronts

Yea i think they fit the lt1 cars just fine. Barely though and I am sure the ls1 will have to have some grinding. They are only 430 for all 4 shipped as well from summit
