I emailed them and here is their response. I also asked about a 4.5" wide front. Mention that you got the info from me.
Daryl,
Thanks for the email, I will have pictures of the wheels in a few weeks. Due to copyrighting in process I can't send out any images just yet.

Here is where we stand on pricing.

The wheels if released will retail for:

Front and rears 1499.80+ shipping
17x7 fronts 809.90 + shipping
15x10 rears 689.90 + shipping

The first 50 orders will be discounted for this price.

1185.00 shipped for front and rears
655.00 shipped for just fronts
565.90 shipped for just rears

Your choice of chrome or black chrome.

Backspacing will be 6.5 for rears I need to double check on the fronts.

I'm working on getting a list of guys
Together that would like the 4.5 fronts. If I can get several I can make it happen!

Shipping is just for continental customers only.*

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,
Derek

I also asked about weight and he responded:

Daryl,

Weight will be around 17 rear 19 front. 4.5" will be lighter in the front prob. By another 2lbs. These are just estimates based off of the other sizes. It should be close though.

Load rating exceeds 1580lbs per wheel. No need to worry about bending wheels. These wheels can be driven on the street daily.*

Thanks for your reply,
Derek

What would have to happen with the back disc brakes to get a 15 to fit?? I would love to have that full drag setup when at the track. Wouldnt hurt the times either!

U would have to run s10 calipers bc the banjo bolt for the brake lines will hit the rim. On the s10 setup they are on the backside rather than on the side like oem ones.

I wonder how the 6-spoke design would look though. I like 5-spoke wheels a little better.
