I've been told they're around $400 per wheel. Best to call to confirm though.

I'm probably gonna swap back to 6 lug and get Bogarts so I can also use my stock 20s.

Did you get that from RaceStar? If so, did they happen to tell you why they were delayed again?

Not even close... at least for the preorder. Full set was less than a grand.

Racestar's website says that the 15 x 10 isn't suitable for street use. Makes them useless to me.

That was on Derek's Facebook Page. Last time I talked to them they said wheels were coming late April and they were hoping it was the wheels we ordered, but wouldn't know until they arrived. They also said if they are not in that shipment they would be late May.

I can't find where it says that. I won't be running them all the time, but that was the main reason I ordered them

Sorry, I checked back, the wheels do show as streetable. My error.

Does anyone have any further details on these wheels?

I swapped back to 6 lug so I need some 6 lug 15x10 6.5 bs.

Options appear to be Bogart and Holeshot at this point in time.

I got an email update yesterday stating they are awaiting prototype approval to start production. I am starting to get a little frustrated with this process. Previous conversation states 120days production start to finish. So it is not looking good for having these for a planned race in September. Maybe we will get them by the 2 year anniversary of this thread.

2/11/15
The 15x10 / 17x4.5 6 lug wheels are in production. Shipping is looking like late March to early April.

3/5/14
We're pleased to announce that the 15x10
Truckstar wheel has obtained enough pre-orders.
Tooling is being made and production will begin as soon as possible.

It sounds to me like the wheels aren't going to happen. Will plan accordingly.
