Stu, I'm in agreement with ya. I'm not looking to drive everyday on the road, but just want something better than my WM's. I would like the lock ring style myself, but I see them and quickly notice they don't look original.
Our company truck (Peterbilt) has some "spare" outers laying out in the boneyard that I might ask about. Working in a full fledged machine/weld/production shop with CNC lathes and mills bigger than my house; programmers, designers, and engineers to boot, we've made parts "on the side" or "gov't work" for friend's tractors, trucks, cars, excavators, skid loaders, etc... and in discussing the "make it look like an original wheel" idea with them, it seemed worth trying at some point. I would have to buy the steel to do it though. Not as elaborate as a Chip Foose wheel, but where there's a will, there's a way. Certainly won't happen over night. I should mention I'm talking about F4-6 wheels. If I had an F2 or F3, I'd look to do a Dana 60 swap.

Sorry for getting off topic.
