yeah these cost to much to sell! I'm just glad I ordered them before Billet Specialties raised their prices! Which is one of the reasons why I sold the Mag-G's when I did!

Join the crowd, I didn't know they were for sell either. Do a new photo of the truck w/ wheels in burgundy.

**Sac** · 07-13-2016, 11:53 PM

Wheels look great!

Sorry, I sold them on Street Machinery's Sunday Swap Meet Group on Facebook as soon as they were listed. I didn't list them on the forum.

They don't have these wheels as an option on the program or I would have already done it. Just in Red though, not Burgundy

Thanks Mike, now I can get this chassis down off of jack stands and put my drivetrain in.

knomadd · 07-14-2016, 09:42 PM

Damn! I saw your post on IG. Those wheels are gorgeous! My wife even agrees, and she is really picky about wheels.

Thanks Duane! I wanted a classic looking wheel but something a little different then what you usually see out there. I remember these wheels on Superflysteiny's black 72 and decided it was the exact look I was going for.

original-71 · 07-15-2016, 10:33 AM

those wheels look bad a** brother

Bennett68C10 · 07-18-2016, 10:53 AM

So I had a frustrating weekend. I went Saturday morning to get my wheels and tires mounted. They tried the first 22x8.5 and the tire wouldn't slip down over the barrel in the center of the wheel. Tried the second 22x8.5 and had the same thing happen. Then we tried one of the 22x10's and the exact same thing happened

It wasn't the tires, as we tried all 4 tires and none of them would fit. At this point I was extremely p***** off so I packed them back up and took them home.

Turns out the barrels on the wheels are to large and the tires weren't able to slip over them. Called Newstalgia Wheel this morning, they contacted Billet Specialties and found out that this has happened before. So now I have to ship them back to Billet Specialties on their dime so that they can check the wheels out and see exactly what the problem is and fix them. But this leaves me without any wheels for who knows how long

It's ridiculous the amount of money you spend and the amount of time it takes for them to be built for them to come in defective.

MMcMasters · 07-18-2016, 11:29 AM

I feel horrible for you Keith, I hope you get it worked out quickly

**Dustmaker65** · 07-18-2016, 12:43 PM

WOW!!! That really takes the wind out of the sails....

Hope they can get you taken care of quickly.

Damn Keith that sucks to hear. Hopefully they are on the ball and get them back to you asap. I could only imagine how that day went and feel for ya!

**screaminchevypickup** · 07-18-2016, 03:40 PM

You wouldn't happen to be using Toyo tires? I have had that happen on a couple sets of tires from them.
