More pictures of the Greg Weld 15x10..

I know someone posted a few pictures of these in the camaro sub-board, but IMO there just was not enough ! I don't have these mounted yet so I will post them here.

Tomorrow I will try to get a couple of them on the car, the one posted has no GFX and mine does so you can do a compare of them for those who showed interest. I won't have any lugnuts, I got these off summit for a hell of a deal(291.95 shipped to my door in 3 days BEFORE july 4th, service or what.) and forgot the lug nuts.



15x10 5.5 backspacing really nice wheels.. I hope I can do something about the center caps.. it looks like its only made for theirs.


I finally found out how to make albums in photobucket so I will just post a couple and link this off..

NICE! They look great, can't wait to see them on the car.

I got a set of the Billet Specialties Street Lite wheels last X-mas from my wife. 15x4 front, 15x10 rear

Haven't gotten around to buying the tires yet though.

No lug nuts, so no real shots of them on the car, if I get time tonight I might mock put them on the car though.

Re: More pictures of the Greg Weld 15x10..

I HATE the lip on my rear greg welds!!! let me know if the center cap fits over your hub. Mine didnt, and they wanted me to try a hole bunch of crap to make it work, my mechanic tried everything, and I just want bigger center caps but it will be a while.

I am pretty sure it is going to cause interference because in another thread, he had the exact same problem, and even tried denting them but no go.

As I said earlier, their center caps look to have no room for aftermarket or stock..

Re: More pictures of the Greg Weld 15x10..

We should get freebies for all this trouble... :\ (Even though I have not ordered my fronts yet and haven't had this problem yet.)

I will have more mounted pics soon... Ordered the wrong lugnut size... should have just searched here first instead of calling summit for lugnut size...
(Recommended the 7/16's for me.. and yes, I did try to put them on.. cough..)

Haha, I feel bad for the 4th gen guys, these were supposed to fit over 4th gen brakes, but they don't. I would be pissed if I had 4th gen brakes.

Re: More pictures of the Greg Weld 15x10..

My buddy ran into the same centercap problem. He bought 1 3/4 spacers for the front and since the wheels are more spaced out know it looks alot better.

Re: More pictures of the Greg Weld 15x10..

Don't fret.. I could have SWORN up and down, when Greg Weld released his site and it was in beta, it had all the prices on there for all sizes including the 17" in both versions. You might try giving them a call.

Dangit, refreshed my edit here it goes again lol.

I worry that when I get my fronts (15x8) that with a spacer they will stick out too much for my liking.. how could I measure this roughly? (Wanders off to the suspension forum...)

@88 z28 Guy
Was that the minimum he needed to make it clear, or did he go extra to make them look better?
