The hard part is finding 8 lug super duty turbines, they would have to be custom built, looking into that as well.

I just reread the whole thread. I like the super duty rims, have you considered putting those on? Also, the rims you posted on page 20 look good.

I saw a set of the Method wheels on a truck and I didn't like them, they were way too shallow.

The wheels you have now aren't too bad, I would ride those until you find the ones you really want and don't "settle" for something just a little better.

If you want Turbines then either Re-drill for studs or run adapters.

There is some company doing new Slots, sorry I don't know the name and don't know if they're doing Turbines but it's worth some time on Google if that's what you want.

American Racing is doing new slots, even in the 8x170 pattern but they are 17".
I will probably stick with what I got till I need new tires then switch to the slots.

Decided to go a different route with the stripes so I stripped off the pin stripes I put on, I was not happy with them anyhow.




More details on what I am doing later...


Stay tuned haha
