Has anyone seen the black chrome racestars on a 2015? I want to get a set for my 2015 with the PP. I think i need the 18x5 front and 17x9.5 rear. I am not sure though.

18" will not clear the brake caliper.

I thought the 18s would clear but the 17s wouldn't.

From what I have been reading the 18 will clear. I would like a set of gloss painted drag wheels but I have not found them. A car at the track today had welds powder coated black and they looks killer.

According to Discount Tire and Les Schuab computer 18" will not fit. Either over the Brimbo caliper, the offset or the bolt centers. Many wheels that fit for years are now out. Manufacturers. Having to retool. Sad. I had light weight wheels/race tires that no longer work. Oh well. They were dirty and used.

I believe there are several cars running 18s.

Does anyone have any idea how much weight savings can be had over the stock GT PP 19" wheels?

Also. Bama ran 18 inch forge stars on their front's with the brembo package. and then switched to 2014 brakes so they could then use 17's. they talk about it in their youtube 1/4mile vids.

The 18x5 Racestars will clear the front PP brakes. We're running them on our car. I believe they needed an 1/8" spacer but besides that they're all good.
