nice haha

Do like the center outlets though, can you get a better shot, perhaps of directly behind the truck at about eye level so i can see how they look from behind?

I really like that exit... perhaps coming out of the license plate hole....
vette style... hmmmm sporty

what tips are those btw?

Thanks!



I may be selling these wheels once I get the new ones. I have not decided yet.
The wheel thing was kinda a last minute decision. I was planning on a big brake upgrade in June or July, but that will probably have to wait now.


I'm going to give a ½ deposit this week so that they can start machining the wheels.

Re-plated?
are they going to be chrome plated first?

If your ordering them machined just let them finish them out in aluminum and just have them plated once in black chrome. Dont pay extra for a chrome plated wheel if your just going to re-plate them.


Oh and the truck does look killer

Yeah, you're right; that is what I meant. I got caught up in the "re-plate" because that is what I had to do with my current wheels; that were originally chrome.

In actuality, I do not believe the process incorporates "chrome" at all. They are copper plated and then I believe it is several coats of black nickel; and then finished with some type of protective coating.

Hmmm; I wonder if the process will be cheaper since they are already set for copper plating and not needing to be stripped.

BTW; thanks for the props!

Baller, Baller.

Those wheels make mine look tiny, tiny; although they're 22's.

Are those 26's?

What are the sidewalls on the tires (30's or 25's)? How is the ride?
