Default New street and drag wheels

So seeing as how I am converting over to a 5 lug setup, I had to order not only new drag wheels, but also some new street wheels. As far as the drag wheels go I got them from SJM, a sponsor over on Tech. They are Bogart Bolted RT 10's 15x12's. Light and simple.





And for the street, I went with some custom Billet Specialties Dyno SL's. 20x8.5 in the front and 20x12's in the rear. They are perfect. I have been through 3 sets of street rims and these are finally the ones that I have always wanted. Here are a few pics of the rears.........enjoy

Those wheels look amazing. I can't wait to see mounted pictures on the truck. Do you know the width of the new axle yet? Are you planning to backhalf the truck or just narrow the stock frame?

I always liked the way a 5 lug setup looked better than a 6 lug. also the bogarts were easier to just order them as 5 lugs and I knew the Billet Specialties were going to be custom made, so I figured why not just get what I want
