They do look pretty nice and the price makes it even better. Looks like a worthwhile upgrade from 14" ralleyes.

Your link does not work/listing removed, so I'm not sure what you are saying? You don't like the US mags version? They cost too much? Year ones cost too much? You like the Year One version better?

Anyways, on the other point (C5 brakes); I'll let you guys know what I find as I get more parts. The actual diameter on the inside looks like it should clear. I will try and get that template Kore 3 has printed out to the right size to get a better idea.

Ahhh, I see now. Yea, those are pricey; but, they are billet. For the price, I'm happy with the US Mags version. It's not a perfect replica, but neither is anything else on the market. Rally's were never made in these sizes or aluminum afaik. If I were going to step into that price range, I'd probably go with Fikse, Forgeline, etc...

i know they are a little insane but if you look at their site you can pick up a set of chrome 16's for around $1000. i just enjoy OE wheels.

I hear you on that, I like the OE wheels too, but with larger brakes, 16's and even some 17's just won't work.

I was checking out the 15's & 16's at one point too. The thing that I was put off by with 15's is that I wanted run white letter BFG's and the cost is comparable to 17" tires. So then it becomes aluminum vs steel weight savings, brake upgrade options, and a modern wheel for a "resto-mod" look (which I prefer anyway). I think the oversize OE style wheels look nice. Even the 17" Chevy N90's look good on Montes & 2nd gen Camaros.
