logo's are not photoshopped, lol

my company owns the vehicle,

sponsors all of my racing,

and pays for all mods,

hence,

lots of $$$$ savings

forgeline also has some other wheels, thinking about getting some custom 18x13's, and slapping some 345's on the back

wheels

They look great. I'm just not real nuts about 22-24 inch wheels and 2 in sidewalls. Don't like wagon wheels with rubber bands mounted on them. Only my opinion. The wheels look good.

There alright, but I think the stock wheels chrome would look cooler.

I really think that you need to drop that truck a bit. It just looks to high in the air.

Maybe some 20's would be better if you did that.

I just like the way L's look when they have the wheel wells filled up.

Beefcake,I apologize for taking a poke at your truck.I'm glad to see you let it roll off of your back,like that.

If you're set on getting new rollers,look around more.Those don't say"BAM".The stockers look everybit as good.

Don,You have deep pockets man.Everytime I buy a new air freshener,you spend another couple of grand.Those Boyd Timeless are sweet though.

those pics are from my 17x11 wheels on my cobra, i just cut and paste,

they make an 18x10 that would look good on there

the think is my 17x11's only way 20.5 lbs. pretty nice

forgeline also makes some bigger 3 piece wheels, i am thinking of driving up to have the 18x13's fitted and run some 345's

hehe

no prob noze bleed, lol !

Thumbs down

IMHO, No. It's tough putting new wheels on the L. If you go too big and fancy, they look ricer. If you go too wide and shiney, they look redneck. It's your money, show me some more choices and I'll take potshots...

I may be in the minority, but I think they are a very good looking wheels.
BTW, I've seen the write-ups on your Cobra, and if this L gets built in anyway like the Cobra did, some of these other guys better watch out!!

Hey, NOZEBLEED SPEED - even if the guy lives 1500 miles from you gotta think twice before gettin rough on a guy who sells vitamins (aka weight lifters' stuff) and goes by the name BEEFCAKE.
