Question american eagle wheels

just wondering what the american eagle series 058( Eagle Alloy Wheels ) wheel looks like under the fenders of a dent, i am looking into these wheels for my 77 f-250, and wondering how many people are running them on their dents.
thanks,

diesel-kid

Very nice wheels, and quite a few people on here are running them so you shouldn't have any problem finding some pics. I almost went with them myself but I wanted something a little different.

I've been looking at thos same wheels myself. I think they look awsome. In their book they show the 58 series but they also show the 186 series. Whats the differance? I priced them both at Summit and the 186's are a little cheeper per wheel but they will go up to a 17x9. The 58's only show up to a 17x8 at summit which is too narrow for a 35" tire I believe. The aewheel website does show the 58's up to a 17x10 but the big store's don't carry them for some reason.

The holes in the 186 look larger to me.

They're botth great looking wheels. I thought that about the 186 also but you know how picturs are sometimes. It would be interesting to see them both in person side by side.

K, I just did a split screen with both pictures of the 058's and the 186's side by side. The 058's do have smaller holes and a deeper dish before they angle towards the center. I think the 058's look the best. Unfortunatly I think 17x10s list out for $150.00 a wheel.

Anyone run 8" wheels on a 35" tire?

that is what we run on our mud bogger trucks without any problems and we are running very aggressive (TSL Bogger) tires.
