I tryed to buy those rims off of him years ago.....but no on would buy my 20's. Now once I convert to a 9" rear and Camaro brake setup I am going to get some Fikse 18's.

Chris sold them to a buddy of his, but that guy is looking to trade out for some 20's. Chris and I switched rims many moons ago and I kinda liked his 18's on my truck. I didn't want to try getting rid of the 20's, so I stayed with them.

I hope this works out. I like the look of 03GMC's old truck better than mine. The stance is perfect. Might have to raise mine up a bit.

yeah mine is parked outside 24/7 in east texas weather

intro's and budnicks are really nice but $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. my eagles dont shine as well as the boyds did but it makes up for it in the fact that i dont have to polish often. those wheels look sweet. needs a lil more tire though imo. i dont like low-pro's on trucks unless they are layin frame.

Not drag radials, but 305/45's on 18x9.5. I know I know, it's screaming to squat down a little.

I have to admit that there are better wheels out there--Intro and Budnik especially--and that my Boyd's don't shine quite as well as those.

That truck was always one of my favorites! I was looking at the wheels also when he was trying to sell them way back when. I agree with you that the stance of that truck is perfect!!

Are those a 35 series tire out back? They look a little taller.
