Same wheels that were on the Truckin' magazine Sierra NBS build.
Didn't BMF have quality issues with their wheels though?

Nothing I know of. Any pictures of the truckin' truck? I plan to do a 3/5 drop.

I got the truck done today. Finished the exhaust. Wired the fuel pump. Everyone said these pumps are loud. It is quiet. Finished all the wiring in the engine bay. Truck is going to J&S Performance on wednesday to get tuned.

Truckin called it project novakane. Google turns up lots of pics and links to it. I agree the wheels are great.

Could do without the rivets/dimples on the rim, but still sharp *** looking wheels.

Mortiz, how close is your exhaust tip to your rear shock. I have a similar setup and mine exits like 5-6 inches away, and the exhaust blows straight on it. I always wondered if it was negatively affecting shock performance and wondering if you had any opinions on this.

Mine is probably a foot away from the shock. I doubt it affects the shock at all.

Good to know, I just like to worry about dumb little things

I really like that sump. I'd run one, but it's not safe with my ride height.

How low are you? I plan on doing a 3/5. The sump is behind the tires.
