fronts 18x8 rear 18x9.5, would've love to have 20's, but just too much money! these were bad enough around 500 per wheel, 8" less 9.5" more, and as soon as I can save enough money for tires, hopefully before Nov. if not I'll be starring at them all winter!

Re: My 86 build

$500
Those are Eagle 225's right?
Cost extra for Canada I'm guessing?
I thought the 20's were just over $200 each....

EDIT:
nevermind, I went back a saw those are Boyd wheels
I can't wait to see them on your truck!!!

Re: My 86 build

Yeah,
Sorry

I saw a Dirty Jobs that Mike went to the Boyd wheels facility, I was amazed the amount of time they put into polishing each wheel, it's no wonder what they charge for quality
