Not ones that are made for track only.. They can build you ones that are made for daily driving, with stronger centers and hoops.. So no I would not do it..

I have talked to Rich personally, he said the ones made for driving will infact hold up no issue.. I was going to have some done, but but the price was just way more then what I felt comfy paying.. I could convert to a 5 lug, buy wheels/tires for cheaper..

Exactly ... the one thing I HATE about our trucks is our stupid *** 6lug setup..wheel selection sucks and everything custom made is through the roof!!

the weight of these trucks in the front is whats gonna suck also. seeing most are 5 inch wides i think it was. i started working at a machine shop and have some ideas. might take a 5x5 lug skinny and weld them up and machine the hub and then drill new lug pattern in them. powder coat them and ride out.
