Last 2 sets of 17x10.5s I'd sold have not needed grinding. If the next two guys who have some don't need to grind this problem might be solved.

Very nice to know! Happy to got it right!

Blakester · 02-26-2017, 01:45 PM

Depending of how well my tax return looks i may be getting a set.

Pro Stock John · 02-26-2017, 01:48 PM

I ask everyone to report back their experience, so I have I think 2 other guys out there who should be reporting back in the near future.

Also started selling the Recluse wheels, 17x4.5 / 17x10. combo looks pretty good:

(I did not take these pics but since RS is sharing them I am as well)

ozzy1le · 02-28-2017, 11:15 PM

Those wheels rock

NABeastRR · 03-01-2017, 07:43 AM

which are lighter? weights of both wheels?

Pro Stock John · 03-01-2017, 02:50 PM

What the Recluse vs the Drag/Dark Stars?

Recluse wheels on average appear to be a 1 lb heavier.

NABeastRR · 03-02-2017, 10:40 AM

thank you!!! what do the Dark Stars weigh say the 17x10.5

PSJ.......will that 17" Recluse wheel combo work with the ZL1 calipers on my SS??? And they are strong enough for 10 second passes?

Pro Stock John · 03-04-2017, 05:05 PM

ZX probably not. Their 18x5 should clear ZL1 calipers. But I must warn you the tire options are for 18x5s are limited, MH has a bias DOT front. Only tires I have found so far that are not too tall or wide.

Redbeard 11 · 03-04-2017, 05:17 PM

aren't those zl1 calipers on the red one above?

Thanks PSJ.......shoot me a price on 18's with said tires then. Better safe then sorry. That will work with my 3:73 ZL1 diff setup and AGP TT for 10's?!?!?
