Help Me Find These Wheels!!!!!

If there is anyone here who subscrbes to Maxim, you gotta help me figure this out. On page 87, of this months issue, there is an ad for BFG tyres. The ad is a picture of what looks like a beefed up chevy silverado and a set of BFG MTs, which are seated on a super bad asss set of rims. Can anyone tell me who makes them and where I can find some....gotta have them, with of course the BFG MTs 32x11.50x16.

Trying to get a pic up...

Though it's an artistical drawing the logo on the center of the wheel belongs to Concept Neeper but weither it's a real wheel or not that stands to be determined.

I know the truck exists. It's a Chevy Oakley built up for promos. I saw it in another mag, the article was about the truck.

I had to find it.

Check out this link

"Concept Neeper provided beefy four spoke 18-inch off-road racing wheels. The wheels wear newly engineered BF Goodrich KO Mud Terrain tires secured with OMF beadlocks that hold and center the tire on the rim when running at low psi for excellent off-road traction."

Well, if they are only concept wheels, I'll hafta try to find someone to make them for me. Although I did find a set very very similar to those, although not offroad wheels, made by Foose. Sweet rims but mucho $$$$$$$

One of the Oakley trucks was at my work last week. My store sells Oakley and is a premium dealer and our Oakley rep was able to get the truck to drive for a week or so. That truck is absolutely amazing. Everything little detail is perfect and flawless.

Well, think about it... its a show truck. The whole point is to show off... and grab attention. Would you expect them to use descently priced wheels? Course not! The thing that gets me is they can just write it off... and its basicly free... grrr... :cry:

Holy dead post revival Batman!

I was searching this site: Street Concepts and saw a vehicle that reminded me of this post. I know that it is old but I had to bring it back to life.

Go to Cars --> Oakley --> Click on first truck --> Click on wheels/tires.

How's that for a good memory?
