Yep, but I got to thinkin, if I ever decide to swap in a 9", all I have to do is send the rears in, and just have the centers replaced. That way it's still 6 lug matching up front, and 5 lug matching in rear.

Well with my new job, it's only about 2 miles from my house. And being that it's gettin closer to summer, I will be riding my motorcycle more anyways, so I figured, **** it! Nobody around my area has this setup, might as well be the first.

I've thought about it, I just don't know how much power they can handle. The 9" has already made a name for itself. I'm really waiting to see how much everyone gets out of the 9.5 before I decide to get one. BTW, when are we gonna get to see that damn truck of yours run. I'm wanting to see what that beast does!

Yep, a guy here has 'em on his Trans Am. Look damn good, but I think the regular D-10's will look better on my truck.

Could be true that they aren't meant to be driven on daily, but Jason at FBC told me that the truck wheels are a bit different than the car wheels. The center part of the wheel is thicker and stronger compared to the car wheels, and the lug holes have steel inserts. These wheels are pricey, but damn they look good! Weld Wheels and such can't compare to these, it's a whole different deal. For a regular cab drag "type" of truck these wheels are the ****.
