i paid a little over 520 for all 4 rims (15x3.5s and 15x8s) and that is with lugs. I know a few people were looking at them already. Oh yea and test fitment went well (have 4 lugs)...no grinding of calipers

I love them.... They are picky at the track about closed lug nuts on the front.....with an after market wheel like that your supposed to have extended studs.

[Ruckus46gt]

93mustank you do not have to have aftermarket studs. I am going to be running a pack of open and 4 packs closed. so each wheel will have one open stud. According to boyd coddington when i talked to him 2 months ago on the phone you have to run greg weld studs with the wheel and will not have to swap studs to be nhra legal with the way everything is designed. Greg weld teamed up with boyd to make these rims, as you can tell by the design i think boyd had a little imput
also got this in the mail today

So you do have to change the wheel studs anyways....... Is the lug nut shanked?
