could you snap some pics of the wheels? I would like to know how the revision looks as far as the recess goes for mounting the tire.

good and bad. tested the 15x8's on ls1's. a ton more room but still not perfect. With about the same amount of grinding as prostars but more than summit stars they can be made to fit. Before they weren't even close.

They also currently only had the 15x10 in a 6.5 BS. The 7.5 is on the way though! The 6.5 didnt want to fit either. They said the 15x10 with the 7.5 BS should fit with NO problem at all ,due to the wheel's drop center design being different. Once those come in I will test them as well.

lt1's should be good to go. Might need slight grinding.

Sorry currently no pics.

They are going to try and do some final adjustments if they can and then get the wheels coming. Give or take 30 days till they are out.

i know dlove has some but he prolly needs to upload them still. the change to the 7.5BS wheel is that you mount the tires from the rear allowing 14" of clearance on a 15" wheel vs on the original 15x8s there was around 12. now they are close to 13". mike was gonna try to take a slight amount of angle back out of the drop center to get a little bit more room

so the summit stars take more or less grinding? pretty much another dud than on a 15" back wheel that needs no modification to fit on ls1 cars? is the 15x10 with this new 7.5" bs supposed to be the magic wheel? I've thought about 15's but cant justify spendin the money on bogarts and just dont want to grind my brakes(like many others) i guess ill have to wait and keep reading.

15x10 with the 7.5 BS should be a near direct fit for ls1's. In about 2 weeks I can confirm that.
