I think there is a huge gap in the market for 17x9 wheels for both 6 and 8 lug options.
If someone made an affordable ($250 ea.) 17x9 cast aluminum wheel that replicated the factory steel wheels and accepted the factory dog dish caps, you wouldn't be able to keep up with the demand.
Modern tire sizes, lighter weight and still keep the OG look...killer combo.

Sounds like an opportunity for Coy's.
