I have a pair of Billet Specialties street lite wheels, 17"x8" with 4.25" backspacing. I had them on the rear of my Hurst/Olds, but I converted to C6 rear disc brakes, which required an additional 3/16" spacer to clear the calipers (in addition to a 3/16" rotor thickness addition). Therefore, I had to buy new rear wheels to change the backspace since they got pushed out 3/8" total.
The wheels are approximately 3 years old, and have maybe 1,500 miles on them. When I bought them, I had them professionally polished and zoop sealed (which cost an extra $50/wheel). The wheels are still in like-new condition. There are a few minor chips, but they are still an easy 9/10, and I'm picky. Due to the professional polishing, the inside rim hoops are in nicer shape than they ship from Billet Specialties, as they do not spend a lot of time finishing the inside halves at the factory (which makes sense for a budget race wheel).
They will work great on a car with stock rear brakes, and should fit an LS1 rear disc conversion with no spacers required (the C6 rotor is much shallower, so the caliper was into the back of the spokes). You could even possibly use them on the front of a G-body.
Asking $425 + shipping obo. Located in the Kansas City area. Includes the centercaps AND billet specialties valve stems installed. They will ship in the Billet Specialties boxes that my new wheels came in. This is a great deal over buying them new... when you put them next to the new wheels I purchased you can't tell the difference. They are due to be resealed due to time, but don't require it.
EDIT: Pictures are embedded in Post #5 below. Photobucket wasn't hosting the pictures effectively, so I had to add them to the site. Sorry for the inconvenience.
