I have two sets.. Love em..... They have the round holes instead of alot of the other Black Steelies you see. They also don't have any of that retarded pin striping like the American Racing ones have on them. Here's a pic of what I currently have. These are 15X8 with 2.5" backspacking with some 37" MTR's mounted.

Those are pretty clean. I see you were in the middle of a flex test/show. Do they have any other colors than the black? Well I guess the only other color is chrome.

Thanks man.

My el-cheapo lift is a combination of Ball Joint Spacers, Rear Shackles, and a 3" Body Lift. I played around with the torsion bars and rear shackles to get it as level looking as I could with the clearance I wanted. It rides fine. The 3.75" Backspacing is just what my local shop had as standard, they weren't a $pecial order or anything. I've heard that 4" is about as much as you want.

They stick out a little, not too bad. No rubbing.

X2...those are the exact same reason I got them, that and not as many people have them. I have the 15x8 with 4" backspacing, that was the only backspacing available on jeggs when i bought them.







the 31x10.5 stick out of the fender just a little bit
