Finally , new Detroit steel wheels / mobsteel *pics*

Well after months of waiting I finally got my wheels, 20" Detroit steel wheels.
I'm very happy with them so far . I have put about 500 miles on them and they atract some attention . I know everyone likes pics so ...
-Old rim next to new rim :










5/7 static drop with inner fenders , rear c-notch . NO rubbing.

Those look very nice. I'm considering them in 18" as I'm not sure I want 20's with a 4.5/6 drop. Exactly how many months was the wait?

I keep debating on these wheels for my truck but having a hard time finding specs on them considering their website is down. Curious what one would like with '67 caps and if I could get them in 12" wide for the rear.

Re: Finally , new Detroit steel wheels / mobsteel *pics*

I made the switch from 15's to the 20's a little while ago too.. The 20's are a much harder ride because of the small rubber.. but anywho, I love your truck! Sell it to me! lol.. Looks really good...
