I think you should do it. It would look good on your truck with a 2/4 drop, IMO. The Cragar 397's look pretty decent:


I think they weigh approx. 32 lbs. for a 17x8 wheel. Heavy, no doubt.

yeah they are heavy for a 17, but ill make up for the weight it tires, the 20" tires weigh a lot. i would never put the steelies on without powdercoating them.
qwik, thanks dude i made my decision. i think they look great, i had just never seen them powdercoated. ill buy black or powdercoat the lugs then paint the hub or something so it doesnt stand out. anyone sellin spares??

haha i can have 4 spares and 1 chrome for my spare. my uncle turned me on to a guy that will powdercoat for $25 a wheel
