I'll be paying off the motor for another year. lol

It's hard to pass up a decent set of rims that are less than what two welds cost.

The front aren't the issue its the rear they made 2 "corrections already" spanning nearly a years worth of time and still didn't clear. They claim 2 people had the issue but the measurements are way off. I'm not calling anyone a liar but it's every rim that's too small. Avoid them.

Yes Sir and we were racing a lot in Vegas at the time, so they were easy to get them home without paying for shipping.

Totally feel ya here. The first batch had the wrong pad height, cliff notes only fit with V6 brakes.

Did you take a little off the brakes? Can you share a pic?

You didn't disclose these details, only that your rear wheels were "on backorder". What else have you misrepresented, the condition of your 1LE OEM wheels & tires? Now that I've made full payment on 14Feb2016 per your instructions, I receive no shipment tracking numbers, you don't answer my emails, and don't answer my phone calls.

"Johnny Cash and 3 pedals is how I roll." Really, ... isn't this situation indicative of how you ROLL, Ivan?

Wow! This thread just took on a whole new direction....

Damn..Im still waiting for mine...maybe Im gonna ask if there is going to be a 3rd correction...and wait till summer for those wheels.

Pro Stock John · 02-24-2016, 10:33 AM

Here is an update.

Of batch 2, the 17x9.5s, half of them are rubbing on the brakes. 50 thousandths clearance issue, seems like some of the stock brakes have variations.

-------

They have designed a 17x10.5 wheel that has some revisions that take into account the issue with some of the 17x9.5s. I was talking to their design guy today. I spaced and forgot to ask him when they would have them in stock. I just pinged him with an email and share his reply on timing.

Might be April on the 17x10.5s.

Thank you for the info. Ill be changing my order for this and report back when installing.

Pro Stock John · 02-26-2016, 11:29 AM

I talked to the wheel designer and he said the 17x10.5 design has been tweaked to address the issue.

suspectz28 · 03-30-2016, 07:38 PM

The 15/10s are bad as well, When I ordered them the guy (1320 wheels)said they would clear the v6 brakes with some work(which we already know), and i ended up grinding way more off than i should have trying to make them clear so i had to replace one of the calipers and decided to get the CarlyleRacing set and the racestars don't clear them but a friend has the same size RTS wheels and they clear just fine.
