i got my wheels today and they fit! i called eagle alloy's corporate office and they confirmed that the 4.5 backspace 20x8.5 wheels will clear the HD brake rotors. i didnt even need to smash the dust covers

**N2TRUX** · 06-16-2010, 12:15 AM

Sweet! What are your thoughts about the quality? Fit, finish, and material used?

menace121978 · 06-16-2010, 12:22 AM

Ken, 1 word... OUTSTANDING!

these wheels are amazing. the pics never seem to do them justice. when the production batch comes out i wouldnt be surprised to see a price increase. quality you'd expect to see in some of the high dollar wheels.

baclay9 · 06-16-2010, 12:27 AM

Very nice man. Those are going to look great.

draggin86 · 06-16-2010, 12:44 AM

i went with Dennis today to get his wheels.. these wheels look just like a top notch billet wheel.. they are 2 pieced welded.. i think where they saved money was the centers where cast not machined straight from billet.. these wheels are a GREAT buy beautiful wheel! congrats Dennis good call on the wheel..

I usually like going through http://www.shoptwm.com, they are located in Stockton, CA. They have some Nexen Roadian's for $93/ea, (not sure what they normally go for)

silvereagle07 · 06-16-2010, 06:52 PM

Looks great Dennis! I have to put those on the list of things to buy.

menace121978 · 06-16-2010, 09:16 PM

thanks buddy but i'm trying to find the 255/40's and 295/40's by the same manufacture with the same tread pattern and not having any luck

f.monroe · 06-17-2010, 01:09 PM

Toyo Proxes 2 are what I am running and they are that size. I think Yohohama Parada may come in that same size also.
