He can get you them, he is coming back from the autorama and will probably be off this week. He had a car there competing for the riddler and has to move into his new house but leave him a message and he will get back with you if he doesn't answer.

Putter-
Do you know if they make the Thruster series 565 for our trucks? All I have seen are in 6X4.5 but not in 6x 5 1/2 for our trucks..do these need to be special ordered?

Hopefully this will not get the 'redlight' from the admin crew, seeing that it is not in the classified area.

clos69,
According to the AR guy, these are no longer made in the 565 series. You may find some on the internet that some wheel dealer still has in stock. Hope you find them.
