I was at the Goodguys Rod and Custom show in Pleasanton, CA and saw these at their display. I was walking by and they immediately caught my eye and thought they would look killer on a TR/GN.
They look like a really good quality wheel and the finish on them is excellent. The weight on a 15x10 is roughly 16lbs I think too.

I have thought about them myself. I also think they would look killer with the centers in gloss black powdercoat.

I went with 15x10's with 5.5" bs, and 15x7's for the front. Risky how? Italked to the company and they said that "they were designed for the street" as far as strength goes.

woa man 5.5 BS is A LOT. What tires are you running? Are you planning on knotching the frame? I was going to run 4.5 with 10s

I agree they will look absolutely HOT on a GN or TR. Ive actually seen these in person at PRI. They are much stronger and stouter than a Weld POS will ever be. The bolt on center caps are a very nice addition.
The only issue just like all other racing wheels , you are going to see lots of cars with matching wheels. The Mustang guys are going nutz over these too. Thats likely why they are back ordered, everyone wants something new and different.

I ran a set of prime 5 spoke ultra lites years ago on my toyota pick up for years until they split on me going down the freeway. Ultra light and I loved them. The issue you have to deal with is whether your'e willing and ready for a nasty suprise like I had at 75mph or higher.

Wow, these are sweet and super light. I think I found my new rims for the 69 GTO this spring.
My 15x10 Centerlines were 19lbs each while their 15x10 is 16lbs each.

Nice wheels but I agree it does look like they will end up fairly popular/common. I have another bizarre wheel idea cooking up for next summer that nobody has on a Regal yet.

In my previous post I thought these were the new Weld Wheels, then I read it again and saw that they are Billet Wheels.
Has anyone seen the new Greg Weld Design Prostars yet? I saw them in Summit but cannot locate any other pics of them.

Come one guys! all these posts and still no pictures of these wheels on a Buick????
I'm considering ordering a set also, but I'd really like to step up (from stock rims) to at least 16's. I've been pondering wheel selection for months now. IMO, the Street Lites are priced exceptionally well for a billet wheel, but for a few bucks more, there are quite a few other options.
