I am helping them with proper fitment and sizing for f-bodys. Please listen to me when i say this...

The rears currently DO NOT fit as planned. That includes ls1 and lt1 brakes. They can be made to work on lt1 with a lot of grinding. But I would not recommend it to anyone, especially when the new redesigned ones are on the way. They are expecting them in 30 or so days.

They hope to get a demo wheel in the next 7-10 days so we can double check the new fitment. Once that happens I will post lots of pictures of the fitment and give everyone the go ahead to order.

I don't want to see people get the wheels now and then complain because they dont fit.

I can try to answer any questions but i'm not affiliated with Greg Weld Wheels. Just a informant.

 

hurry up and get some 17's (star design)...

It is a good thing that you are working with them and keeping us informed. I know it is not your duty to do so but we (I) appreciate all your efforts...!

It sucks that the of the two sizes I'm wanting to buy asap (17x4 and 15x10 stars), neither will be available until the end of the summer

 

dude....wtf

 

I want a set of these, but.................

 

but what? once they get revamped they will be killer

 

subscribing!! be sure and let us know when and where we can get them along with the size and backspacing we need

 

so what do I do if I already have them ordered from summit and they are supposed to ship on june 3rd?

 

June 3rd? If you have them ordered you should have them already. summit has them.

 

I may just get the fronts for now. I killed my 295/35r18s doing some donuts and they cost $480 for 2 cheepest tires. Well i can buy GW fronts with tires cheeper then that and throw my front 17x9 wheels and tires on the rear until the new rears come out. I do not mind grinding the rear brakes as long as i dont have to go anymore then you would with prostars! When will the new rears be out?

 

Summit has the fronts but not the rears. The ship date keeps on getting moved further and further back.

 

does anyone have a link to these rims? i've never heard of greg weld rims and if " I killed my 295/35r18s doing some donuts and they cost $480 for 2 cheepest tires. Well i can buy GW fronts with tires cheeper then that" is true i wouldn't mind orderin some up either.

 

No they have the rears, I ordered mine wednesday and got them yesterday...........

 

yup i just talked to summit also they are going to have the same part number also. They adviced me to hold onto mine and send them back in 30 days when they get the new shipment. My question is why the same part number why not put a added number or diff digit so i dont have to worry about sending mine back and getting the same non fitting rim.

 

are these like the jegs prostar knockoffs? im on a work comp so it wont let me get on summit but jegs works lol.

 

is everything working for them well? i hope they can knock it off in 30 days without any problems


just makes you wonder why they didnt test fit them on these cars... i mean this are cars known to be drag raced lol

 

WHAT THE HELL! Did they not even see if they would fit on out cars?

I just saw the pics on this link.

What size??? I ordered the 15x10's not the 15x8's.

 

I called summit today, and they told me to cal greg weld racing. So after a talk with them the guy said that the new 15x8 would fit the 98-02 f-body with grinding. He ASSURED me that with grinding they would fit. I am trying tonight, and will get back to you guys tommarow with the results.

I took off the caliper, and put them on, and WOW. Look great, and fit perfect. just am going to have to see.
