Sounds like a really good deal , they look good, wonder what the 17" fronts will look like.

I have a set of 15x10's on the way. I was on their call back list for when they arrived and ordered mine yesterday. They'll ship out on Monday so hopefully by the end of next week I'll be able to see if they are a direct bolt on like they claim or if they need a little grinding on the calipers.

I think they will be fine on the caliper clearance. What I am curious to hear feedback about is their claim that you do not need to relocate the sway bar mount with the 10" wheel.

I was told last night by a dealer that the sway bar does need relocation on the 15 x 10s

Well I am betting you were told 100% correct information. But it does contradict what gijosh said that Mike @ racestar told him.

Please let us know how they fit and post some pics. I will probably be getting a set of these very soon, I'm beginning to think I am starting a wheel and tire collection lol

Did he say that in an earlier post? The one you linked in this thread says that the 15x8 clears, not the 10...

It has been said that Racestar Ind. bought the Greg Weld design's when Greg passed....

Don't know how true that is....

They are reworked Greg weld designs. I am waiting for the 17" front runners.

I talked to them today. It's funny when I punched in the phone # my phone I already had it saved as Greg Weld lol when I talked to him he told me the 2 guys who are race star wheels were the same guy I talked to from greg welds when I worked with them when they first came out. He told me they reworked over 40% of the wheel and they now have no problem clearing the mustang brakes I will be buying a set this winter ;)
