How much are the Billet Specialties?

It seems that the Billet Specialties "Street Lites" are the one getting the most votes! :wink: They're also the ones I'm getting more and more interested in!
On Billet Specialties, the 15"x7" are $242.63 and the 15"x8" are $248.12 and on Summit Racing - High Performance Car and Truck Parts | 800-230-3030 , the 15" x7" are $229.95 and the 15"x8" are $234.95 . Curiously, they are cheaper at Summit than if you buy them directly from Billet Specialties...

Larry Hodge has very good deals on the Billet Specialties wheels. I ordered a set, delivery was on time (Fed Ex freight, and he pays the freight). Cheaper than Summit or Jegs. Wheels were double boxed. Hodge is a drag racer and has a great rep with NHRA class racers. He answers the phone himself. I was impressed. Tell him it's for a G body, as there is a difference in the front backspace dimensions (centered 4-inch fronts is what I used).

Hope this helps, and I don't have any affiliation with Hodge. I was just really happy with the service.

#1!!!! oops i voted twice!

With 15" wheels there aren't many serious brake options.

I got a set of 11 3/4 Aerospaces front and back behind my 15"ers. They are a pretty serious brake. They say they won't fit, get the 10", but they do. Off topic, just saying for future reference

#3 for sure!

Thanks for passing this info along...:wink: The price for one of their "package deals" (2- 15"x7" fronts and 2- 15"x8" rears) is about $30. less than Summit. BUT I looked at Hodge's site all over and never was able to find where they're from!...Their address isn't posted on their website...strange... WHY?...

Claude :smile:

 

[Greybeard]

Address on my invoice from Hodge and shipping info was:

Larry Hodge Racing Tires
Box 106
109N. West "A" St.
Laplace, IN 61936

Probably isn't a store front. As pointed out earlier, my stuff came just as described....or you can phone him and find out for yourself. Again, I have nothing to gain. Just passing on how I saved some $$$.

THANKS GRAYBEARD ,what would be the back spacing on 7 inch fronts and 8 inch rears with 275 x 60 x 15 mt dr....with the billit spe. on a gn

#3. But by the time I get a set everyone will have them, then I will need to pick something else.

 

[RobG]

Choice # 3 seems like a no brainer ...

These wheels are now available in a 17" size for anyone that cares.

Bob, I'm pretty sure that a 15"x7" front wheel with 4" of rear spacing and a 15"x8" wheel for the rear with a rear spacing of 3.5" should be ok...
