Default Pulled the trigger, ordered bogarts

Called Rich, he knows his stuff and is very helpfull, i didnt go with beadlocks afterall, really dont need it yet, it would have been more for the looks, i plan on sending them later to Mac fab beadlock and have them install beadlocks just to have something different
I went with the Billet 6 Lug Street/Strip D10´s 15x10 (6.5 backspace) rear and 17x7 (4.5 backspace) front, newer shorter version billet center cap and closed lug nuts

Ive been looking for pictures with similar setups to give me a better idea how its gona look but seems like not a lot have the same wheels on a dark color truck, a lot have 15´s on front aswell and the design changes alot going from 15 to 17
I see many have the race version (3 peace) that is bolted together full of small bolt around the wheel

Rich said they should be shipping in around 3 weeks

Here are some pictures i found to give me an idea

Thanks for the heads up that it could take longer

I picked 17x7 because rich recommended them for the street, now that i look at the front tires you picked with skinnies it really looks good, u wouldnt happend to have a picture from the front of your truck with a low angle so i could see the look of the skinny tires? (i dont think they started on my order yet, maybe its not to late to change it) temptations temptation

the race wheels have been known to fall apart on the street, they aren't designed for that stress

For something that's not a race truck like George's there's not gonna be a significant difference between the street/strip and race wheels.

By race wheels do u refer to the 3 peace that are boltet together with small bolts around the wheel like george has?

What size of front wheel will you get for your truck? i dont drive my truck on the street much but wana be able to do it when needed

BTW what size tires do u have in this picture: Name:  7ed20108-22f9-4507-aba3-90b04f216850_zpsplmxsv85.jpg

the race wheels have a different barrel which is lighter. Bolted or welded is different and preference.

I would recommend the 295/65/15 drag radials.
