Does anybody have this 18 spoke hurricane/turbine wheels in their 3/4 truck?
I'm looking into trading my stock wheels for these wheels, anybody has any feedback? good or bad idea?

Here's an old pic back from 2002

I couldn't sell them for the life of me, ended up tossing them at the dump

I only had two, and they had huge tires mounted to them which I didn't feel the need to spend money to have them dismounted so I just junked them
