couple of notes:
fronts have to run spacers 5"/16
the rear tires are rubbing on the inner wheel well, but cleared when i doubled up on the 5"/16 spacers on one side, so i'm going to next day some spacers for the rear. other than that i tapped the brake lines out of the way, but after i forgot to. good thing i just backed it up a little cause it acted like a lathe and reduced the weight of the wheels.

Looks good to me. I like the fact all the wheels are the same and the black centers keeps with the look of the car. Unlike some people running their stock wheels on the rear and some other wheel on the front,,LOL.

that was last year's set up. even though they were bmw wheels, i tried to keep it as uniform as possible.

no, not the dd's. although i would probably ride to the local track with the rears on to save time and luggage.

Very cool! :thumbs:

How can people not like those!? If I ever end up getting holeshots those are going on. They look great man, I love the black center spokes.

Who cares what people think of them if it's only for the track? It serves its purpose and then is taken off when the car goes back on the street.

i like pictures of my car at the track (my sig), so i like a little flavor to go along with them :) but i know what you mean. i might run around the streets with them when i go to the local track.

I like them, they look good.

You get some drag bags on for this year? You probably could get you 60' down without so much loss to loading up your rear suspension on launch.

pedder drag springs are installed, but just incase the tires rub on the outside fender i have bags too. the wheels are rubbing on the inner fender well so i'm going to space them out with 15mm spacers. i'm hoping that i will not need the drag bags and the springs will keep the car from squating too much. i'll find out tomorrow. :)

I think it looks great. However, the black really makes the wheels look small. I am not mormally a fan of shiny wheels, but I would probably run fully polished ones for that reason. Aside from that, who cares, they are purpose built, and will work great for what they are intended.

What's the deal on spacers? Holeshot told me I would not need spacers... I got my rims and tires are due tomorrow.

They look great! I put some s-10 wheels on my girl friends car for the track. I am going to put some of my extra centerlines on the ft this year. Hope that some Holeshots or Bogarts next year. The gto is a good street/strip car. 12.90's and still get 19 mpg. You can't ask for much more.

Looks great! Holeshot is loving us GTOs now! Did you grind your front calipers any? I used 1/4" spacers, changed the studs and grinded a little too. A BFH took care of the rear inner fender rub.

Why doesn't one of these companies just make a bolt on solution?

If your an '04, I don't think you would have a problem up front with OEM brakes. In my case the rub on the inner rears was very minor, it took a BFH but I doubt I knocked it in more than a 1/8" in an area about 2" in dia. I understand the Welds don't have issues in the front, but they're 4.75" bolt patern (really a non-issue IMO). As far as the studs go, they should prolly be changed for any of these type wheels and for those of us who swap wheels often. The Holeshots are awesome though, very nice, very light!
