New rear wheels

Just got my rear billet specialties today. I had to drill the wheels for my bead studs, and since I'm using a tube I had to drill the valve stem hole from 3/8" to 5/8".

It was going smooth until I backed out and found the wheel dragging on my Wilwood calipers, it scuffed the wheel, and should buff out, but i'll be grinding on those Dynalight calipers.

Re: New rear wheels

Looks great Marc!

I wanted to snag a set of those wheels for my hot rod in 17" before they made a part # for them in 17 inch, and now went a totally different direction...

I heard these are "the new TT wheel" so as a former owner of TT's I never pulled the trigger on a set

Re: New rear wheels

Well Billet Specialties wheels doesnt make a wheel that works with my Willwood calipers & I'm not going to buy a different set of brakes, so I'm selling my front & rear wheels

Billet Specialties. Street Lites 15x4, & 15x8 w/ 5.5 BS. All 4 wheels are less than 1 month old.

$750 for all 4. which is about $175 pr wheel. They retail for $225 ea.

I believe those particular wheels are not hub centric, from my research I had done a while back, they are lug-centric.

Re: New rear wheels

Lugcentric, short shank, no willwood. F*ck these wheels. I've drilled one rear wheel, returned the other, and have 2 perfect fronts I'll post on racing Junk, so I'm only out 1 drilled rear wheel.
