Today was truly heartbreaking...I recieved the Greg Weld Dragstar and this was by far the most gorgeous wheel I've gotten yet. Once again I jumped right into dry fitting. The offset was perfect, right with the fenderline, no clearance problems on the backside with the strut mount...AND the shoulder created enough clearance for the caliper bracket!...BUT...once I tightened the wheel down the backside slope of the spoke where it curves to meet the rim was dragging the outside edge of the caliper itself.
If I had really deep pockets I would just call up Centerline and have some custom wheel assembled but I dont live in that world like Chip Foose.
I still cant complain though...I ordered up a set of American Racing chrome Razor wheels in 16x7.5 which he sold me at the same price as the sale price of the Dragstars (about $20 off per wheel)and he still threw in the free shipping...WHAT A DUDE!
Chrome Razor Of course this also means that if I persist in wanting the raised white letter tires my only option is the Goodyear Nascar Eagles...so much for less expensive tires :rolleyes:
This feels so very much like the self inflicted azz kicking I took over finding the right exhaust.
whatever the final outcome one thing is for sure...if you want to deal with someone top shelf on wheels and tires, check out...
