Latest date from 1320 is shipping 12-14 Dec. I'm not sure if that's shipping from the manufacturer or shipping to our doors on 12-14 Dec. I am anxiously awaiting my preordered 15x10s...

I received mine this afternoon. Glad to finally have them. I did take them out of the box for inspection and took a few measurements.

15x10 has 6-5/8" bs and weighs 20lbs
17x4.5 has 1-3/4" bs and weighs 21lbs

Max Load cast into each wheel states 2800lbs which is significantly higher than the original 1580lb design spec. This is probably why the wheels are ~4lbs heavier than originally stated.

Received mine today as well 17x7 and 15x10. Looking for a good wide street tire that's not to short. I like these Mickey Thompsons http://amzn.com/B00975F84C

Can you please measure the inner diameter of the wheel?

My F-body 15 racestars had a 14" barrel and My Bogarts are closer to 13". So if these also have the larger barrel, I'm thinking they will probably fit on stock brakes, maybe with some grinding.
