I'm looking at these 15x8 4"backspacing.

Yep, those are the ones I mentioned a few posts up.  Pretty neat if you like the factory look.  They will fool a lot of people

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Steve the only thing I don't like is the redesigned centercap. Oh well can't have everything my way. I know it's for the best.

Anyone know if they're the same ones as GBODY sells.

Brad, Judging by the part number shown (CCIGBPGNAL158), I'd say yes they are the exact same wheel that gbody parts is offering.
I would guess that the GBP in the above part number would probably stand for GBodyParts. If you go to Brian's website he gives a little info on these wheels and the fact that they are made by CCI (which coincidentally these letters are also contained in the part number on Highway Stars website).  So who knows if Brian is supplying these directly to Highway Stars & other vendors or if others vendors are buying directly from CCI (the wheel mfg).

CCI is a LQK company just like Goodmark etc. Toby has proven to be a great friend to the Buick owner.

Not that I mind being called a dick, asshole, egotistical bastard, etc. - I just normally like to know what I did (other than just being myself).  Ironically, I was reading through some very old posts on TBS.com while looking for some information and came across a lot of heated verbal battles with Steve and friends.

Damn know-it-all young people!
