I can snap a few photos of them with no tires pretty easy but I gotta few irons in the fire so it's gonna be a few days before I can get them completely done.

BMDMAX went with a 16x12 w/6" of BS, If my measuements are correct, I might be able to get away with 6.5-7" of BS with that Nostalgias 13.6" Section Width. With my 10" wide wheels/5.5" BS and a 12" Section width I have 2 1/4" extra clearance. So I'll figure safe and call the Nostalgias 14" section width, on a 12" wheel that eats up an extra inch outwards/either side. Sooo, 16x12 w 6.75" BS will eat up 1 1/4" of my extra 2 1/4" then another 1" for the tire = 2 1/4", but remember I was generous with the section width so that leaves me 4/10" clearance
that might be to close, but 6.5" should leave pleanty of room, ahh, who knows, like you said, we need the pics

I guess Ive been missing this post... well if anyone else ever needs a custom wheel check these out there 3-peice forged you can get them any bolt pattern and BS. They arnt the BEST looking street truck wheel (they usually go on 4x4's and sand rails) but they come in all kinds of sizes and there super strong. They only thing bad ive hear about them is on heavy trucks like PSD's they can loose air because they are a bolt design. I know alot of people that run them on the street though and havent had problems and one guy actually had his welded togeather.
ooh and from what im TOLD weld used to make these buy sold the rights to real wheel
this company sells them http://powerproracingproducts.com/categories/87.html

Flipper / SBChevy,
The rims are made by Real Racing wheels. They are what they call their truck pulling line and are better suited to straight line applications like truck pulling or drag racing. They can better handle the weight as well. They are not a 1 piece wheel though, they are a welded assembly.
They do have a three piece modular wheel that would have worked as well but it was twice the price and better suited to sand rail or baja type applications. Real was very helpful in figuring out what the best wheel would be for what I wanted.
