BStowers023 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Thanks guys, they are Racestar 15x4 fronts and 15x10 rears with nexxen littles and MT ET Street 275/60R15 rears. They deff. took some tweaking to get in there, I have vogtland 1 1/4" lowering springs so I had to roll the fenders and also had to put a 5/16" spacer on because it was rubbing against the inner fender well. Yes the calipers SLIGHTLY rubbed but when I say slightly I mean like MAYBE 5mm...it grinded itself a path and now its good to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BStowers023 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 LOL WUT? What is your question? the calipers slightly grinded on the inner wheel but they carved themself a path, nothing was damaged, except the fact that their is a small line in the wheel now. Looks like handling has been compromised a bit. It still makes turns fine to me :gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmuckingham Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Yes? What is your question Most people would have ground down the caliper and not let the caliper machine the wheel, but apparently smart ass remarks replace words these days. I like these wheels, two guys bought the right to Gregg Welds design and they are now called Race Stars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it was a very small amount, I didn't really see the harm in doin this, I don't plan on selling these wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93fox Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Everybody seems to be running these wheels nowadays. Eaton mach 1, the novi 5.0 and blue gt500 down here all run them, maybe Ill get a set in black. Either way, op looks good man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 So basically you had 0 clearance, now you have next to 0 clearance. That is far from the right way to do things. I really hope your 5mm guess was way off, because that would really compromise the integrity of the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the smart ass remarks are because many of us just cant believe what we are reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when it's so easy to grind a caliper down a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryscobra Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Looks amazing man. Whats done to the car? Power numbers? Track times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Formula Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Is there anyway to keep those wheels looking clean without having to polish them after everytime taking the car out? I have the fronts and they look terrible after making a few passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
