looking wicked wheel

Ive decided to go with a wicked wheel upgrade. I was curious for those running this are there any adverse effects of this wheel. Im looking for the pros and cons if there are any. Ive been having some surging problems under accelaration, wondering if this might fix it. Thanks

If you don't have a chip you will loose some boost and it will probably spool a bit slower, but with the handshaker it shouldn't be too bad. Other than that, it's a relatively easy mod that will undoubtedly cure the surge.

My experience was quicker spooling even with a stock truck. Also, the whistle is more pronounced.

Banks, Wicked, Swisher....they're all exactly the same. Pick the vendor you like the best and go for it.
