The guys you speak of are running a race only style rim that is not suited to deal with the open road and the bumps, holes and debris you may run over. They also had to swith to blazer calipers and grind the ever loving out of them . with drums you can get deep offset 15"s that bolt right up.

basically the street strip wheels are off the shelf the race ones are custom order only so he can make them fit better for your application

Most of us that are stuck on 15's are that way because we want maximum sidewall and we want the HUGE selection of drag tires availible in 15" . 16" would be ok, but you will still have to swap calipers and grind to fit a street/strip wheel with a large offset like a 16X10 with a 6.5" backspace.
