Any one have experience with them.
I notice it's a holley brand now.
At $550+ I'd like some 1st hand experience
Which AR wheels? TT's are known offenders of the 'do not clear' list.

The Rockets do offer greater caliper clearance but I've seen guys run spacers on them as well. What exact calipers/rotor combo? That's the bad thing about the 'big brake' set-ups from late model cars (or aftermarkets sources) they're mainly designed w/a bunch of pad offset required to clear fat/long calipers. Old school wheels don't have the same wheel center/barrel shape which helps.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
