Centerline Competition Series
Well maybe it was a good thing my wheels where junk. Found some cheaper, few lbs lighter, better backspacing and one week quicker than waiting for replacement of the other ones. Centerline comp series has a few styles I like and the Centerline sales guy says they will fit C3 brakes.
I like the eliminator or split spoke.

Well I can certainly give a thumbs up recommend for Centerline. I have a set on my vette and my Avalanche and I used to sell their wheels 20 years ago when I managed several Super Shops automotive performance centers in Florida. Great product, rarely a warranty claim and buying direct from them is painless.
I have 18 x 8 with 4" rear space and the fit is perfect. Hardest part is picking 1 design. Hope you make a choice and enjoy them.

thanks, that looks great. i have been thinking of 285-40-18 for the rear, but haven't made up my mind. the 15" stuff is pretty much antique now and the newer rubber has to help the handling.

) and I want to say it was Carlos or a similar name guy that helped me over the past 9 years and everything has gone perfect. The wheels on the corvette took a few weeks longer due to the new year holiday at the time but they do make them per order so you can get whatever offset you want.

I like the looks of larger wheels like yours, but I'm into drag. I prefer the smaller lighter 15's and the taller sidewall helps hook a bit more. Plus these Michigan roads I bend enough 15's.
The guy said it was 2-3 weeks and I think it took about 4 for the welds and another 3-4 for the replacments. So it'll be quicker or the same.

I agree with you 100% on the 15's for drag racing and grip at the launch. One of the guys that worked for me at Super Shops in Pensacola was from Flint and he said the same thing about the roads there and bending wheels. Sounds like an expensive place to live but good for wheel stores

Just figured I'd update incase someone reads this thread. The wheels hit my calipers and with an open wheel design I didn't want to grind them down and I was gonna dragrace so I didn't want to use spacers. I returned the wheels and had to wait over 6 weeks.
