I'm down with it...I'm ready to order today! That's really the only thing i hate about the truck deal..No wheel selection. I do love Billet Specialties work, if i did a 5 lug conversion it would be to the Street Lite Wheels for sure.

hopefully i can convince them to give it some thought. I know they are gonna want some kind of proof that there IS a market for a 6 lug drag wheel. may have to tell him to check out pt.net so he can get an idea of what folks want.
PT.net. GMFullsize. RGVtruckperformance.net

don't give them just one site. show them that there is a vast community that continues to grow.

15" wheel not fit on our trucks without some grinding to the caliper on the older trucks but anything 05 and newer a 15" will not fit at all since they have larger front discs. The only way a 15 would fit is if you to ~3" on a 4" wide wheel.

15" wheel will work on the rear of trucks with drums but again caliper issues on the guys with discs.
