Centerlines are some of the lightest wheels out there. I think my combo weighs somewhere around 75 pounds, which is pretty close to stock. The only weigh you could get lighter is if you dropped some big bucks on forged rims, like HRE's or iForged.

The Coddington's are Forged 2-pcs and my Welds are 1pc forged. The 2-pc should be lighter, right? Not sure what the welds weigh.

At first I thought they were ugly, going by your original "sig" picture.

I like 'em, but I doubt I would want to clean them. I've also heard that clearcoat flakes off, but don't know for sure first hand. I sold a set of Centerline Stingrays to a guy on here who had them clear coated....and he said it wasn't working out that good. He had them powdercoated clear....you could do a search and find the post.

Thanks, BADMOFO!
The wheels currently on my truck and in the sig are Weld Racing 'Dune 6's. They are great wheels but they do stick out about 3/4" past the wheel wells.

I'm looking for a set of wheels which have more backspace to 'tuck' under.
The only thing I've found are these Boyd Coddington's Intruders. They are also polished but look simpler.

How do you feel about them?

They are pretty cool. If I were going to buy a NEW set of wheels, I would get the Centerline (even tho I'm pissed off about my chrome!) Stingrays in the 18"'s. The Stingray's are known to be light as hell, even in the 20's, so I'm thinking the 18's would rock! Also, there are a bunch of tire choices for 18's, including some nice drag radials in that size. Being 4wd I doubt you are too worried about Drag Radials tho.

I just bought new Toyo's so 17's it will stay. The Boyds are nice but they are 8 weeks back ordered!
I'm not sure how the stingrays will look on my truck? What do you think? Someone want to photochop some onto my truck?

These are the next choice.

I've always liked these wheels, plus this will give you "sort of" an idea of what Centerlines look like on a simillar (sp?) colored truck in a "smaller" size.
