Either a dark grey center,... or a totally satin wheel. (lip included!)

Thats a cool wheel, Im kinda leaning towards the Billet Specialties Bonneville with the gray center. If I can afford them ,they're stupid expensive Ill decide in a week or two.

On the Rushforth Saltshaker - I priced those out last July '12 so it may have changed by now, but just to give you an idea of what Jason advised me:

- Salt Shakers start at $870 each in full polish because they require a
lot more machine time than most of our other designs and each custom
finish adds $75 each.

Love the build

Dont know your price range, but here is another Brand other option to consider

Built by Forgeline and Designed by Ben Hermance

http://www.gripequipped.com/

Some good looking styles in there with the right finishes done to them

And the Bonneville-G's are $900-$1000 each from Billet Specialties (in 20's).
But they both look really good!

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 
ouch on all of those options :D
my steel wheels cost me $78 each and i freaked on those prices
using billet wheels would have doubled the cost of my build
well minus the motor :D:D:D

The Bonneville-g's are awesome looking wheels but are expensive. Another really nice wheel is the Intro Vintage with a satin or grey center. They look similar to the Bonneville-G but at a much better price.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 
Dang, thanks for all the info guys I never even heard of some of the wheel brands some of you guys are throwing out. I want to run the Bonnevilles but I priced them the other day and wow are they high. Gonna check into those intros Bennett mentioned.
, gonna get a price on some Delmo specials also.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 
Delmos would be cool.... color matched (matte) or would you run an 'off' color?

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 
Looks like you removed your center x member. Did you leave that out or did you put something back In?

The truck looks great!

With or without hubcaps?

Based on some of these wheel prices chrome steelies and wide whitewalls are starting to look better and better.

This truck deserves some nice billet wheels,...

They are almost the same price as nice billet wheels. I think anyways.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 
I think it would look just fine with a set of Coy's on there....

Looks very clean and well thought out. Looking forward to the completed project.
