Check with Blownchevy for wilwoods and personally I think its hard to beat Centerline for forged wheels if you like any of their designs.

Im a cheap *** so I never seriously considered those wheels. Not enough gain in looks or performance over the Centerlines to justify the cost IMO. I think the samoan dude is the one that works for them.

I hear you on the cost! But alot of them offer layaway and I have been getting subsistance checks for $420 a week and saving them, So I wanted to make a few large/last purchases

I found a guy near me on Cragislist that was selling 4 17" Centerlines for dirt cheap. I picked them all up for $180. They need some more TLC but still a good deal. This is one rim that I got cleaned up to about 60%.

I didn't want to go to a bigger rim cause I was looking for something to drop weight


I just plasti-diped them all for now till I have more time to wet sand them and really get them to where I want them

I didn't get them from him but dealt with him when I was rebuilding/swapping the brakes from one truck to the other and he was very helpful.
