That's a much better excuse than I had for having it on the garage floor for so long!

But I can't help myself, I'm a numbers geek so I love knowing what it's doing.

I am the same, but I can say that at the very least the covers are practical, and look great! The reason for modding is: exactly this!

They are, however they are also 83 lbs a piece... But they looked so good, so they stay. They came on the truck, but I could def get better wheels for $3000.

Yeah it kills acceleration. Look at my MPH vs Time. My 60' was 2.8. There was a guy there that said he dropped .3 seconds just from a wheel swap. I am not going to take it that far, but in the back of my mind, I do care. I am sure they do little for MPG's also.

Funny you are from Lawton. You have probably seen my old Camaro there. Black 2000 SS on Black 18 inch Corvette wheels. Loud too, LT's X pipe then dumped.

Well I don't see the amazingly versatile Fold-a-Cover on your site.

I just bought my second one, for my new pickup, after getting six good years of use out of the one I put on the last pickup.

Do yourself a favor and look into it.
