I just sold my rear drum set up from 06 to "Beatdown Z" pretty sure thats his plans for them, maybe he'll chime in or you could look for posts by him about it. Should'nt be a hard swap, what kind of things are you wanting to know? Btw, Beatdown I apologize if you didnt want me throwing your name out there

Sell them them, buy a set of CHEAP 15's that look nice and are light, put a sac full of money in your pocket 15 5 lug is way cheaper then 15 6 lug
