Re: Wicked Mayhem, new wheel pics yet?

What are the specs? I am considering similar wheels on my s-dime. I have a set of Boyd Coddington Smoothy IIs laying around that may fit. I can already guess that my front ones may not fit, but the rear ones will.

Re: Wicked Mayhem, new wheel pics yet?

those are some sweet looking wheels. they match the truck perfectly. (compliment)

but I have a concern. I think you have some major issues with your suspension. it looks as though you have broken leaves in back and weak torsion bars up front. I would get it checked ASAP so you have sufficient ground clearance for the coming winter. you will get hung up and stuck on the first 14" snow drift. LOL JK
<jealousy running rampant>

edit; I just noticed in the 3rd pic, is that the valve stem hiding to the inside?! cool!

thanks for the compliment and concern. the leaf springs are not broke, i cut them myself for a lower ride height and tack welded them to the frame so i have a nice sports car feel to it. and i took the torsion bars out up front. i am a professional suspension installer, no need to question my doings.



and dont worry, i live in texas lol. snows no problem. not having to have a beater FTW! and yes, the valve stems are on the the backside of the wheels, looks so sweet not seeing a valve stem.

Re: Wicked Mayhem, new wheel pics yet?

Chris, what size are the IROCs & how much do they usually sell for? I want some bigger wheels in the spring & I like that style too. Id really like 20's but I dont want bandaid tires so Im still up in the air on what to get...
