The Black ones might look better on White, Yellow, and Red.

Don't forget Blue and Black. Black wheels look great on these colors!!!!



Have to do any grinding to make the 15's fit the back?

Nope no grinding. Pic's don't do white or these wheels justice, it looks amazing in person, I run 17x9/10.5 Black Fr500's on the street and love them but with these wheels i got TWICE the looks and only ran them for a night.

Re: OW on Race Star 17/15

Really? I keep getting told that you have to grind the banjo bolt with those wheels.

nope, not with the 15x8 and 5.5 back spacing. it doesnt even go back far enough to get close to the banjo bolt.

Hmm must just be the 15x10 with 6.5" backspacing then.

yeah i could easily see that being an issue if the BS on these were 6.5 they would hit.

Re: OW on Race Star 17/15

Looks good. I almost ordered a set, but my track is having rough times so I'm not sure they will be around next year so why blow a wad of cash on wheels and tires.

Re: OW on Race Star 17/15

I see HTP offers these powder-coated black, I bet that would look good. I wonder if anyone has ordered any.

Chances50, do the rears seem sucked in at all? I'm considering the 15x10, it only requires a little grinding on the banjo bolt.

Thanks!

This may sound odd but if you'll pm me your phone number I can text you a few pics I have on them from different angles they tuck maybe 1" in not a bad look a 10" with 6.5 would look real good but I personally wouldn't wanna mess with grinding the bolt off.

Re: OW on Race Star 17/15

PM sent, I'm considering them in the powder coated look. I'm waiting for a PM to see how much more $$ they cost.

Re: OW on Race Star 17/15

Little grinding my a$$... I have the 15x10 with 6.5bs. I had the whole head of the bolt ground off before they would clear. I run a 275/60 (28" tall) mt. I have the fenders rolled with stock springs and the tire will still get into the fender alittle. Nothing major tho.

Looks sweet. That setup was my first choice but could not afford them.
