if they make them to order maybe they don't have to put the logo on?

rogergodding · 12-05-2010, 07:37 PM

I bet they would do them without.....

Spoof · 12-05-2010, 08:52 PM

The logo is a deal breaker for me...otherwise I'm interested

chevy truck crazy · 12-05-2010, 10:48 PM

Hmmm I like them alot.. even strangely I dont mind the name on the spokes, would rather have them not but ya. For the price thats not to bad. Id luv to see a pict of one of your trucks with them on..

Bennett68C10 · 12-06-2010, 09:59 PM

I actually like these alot and don't mind the name on the spokes, i have been looking at them for a couple of months debating on whether i want to drop some serious coin on rims or go with something like these that are alot less pricey. Something i found interesting is that Centerline seems to be using the same wheels but with a Centerline logo where the ShowWheels logo is. Oh yeah and the Centerline versions are more pricey for some reason.

For what it's worth, I asked them if they would do some without the logo and got a "no". "They are pre-cast" or whatever...... I'm thinking that if you make em.... you can do them however you want...... I don't mind the lettering though.... maybe we'll end up with a set... $153 for 18" wheel is not bad...

trkfrk · 12-07-2010, 12:42 AM

They're nice. They look just like a boss 338.........

Spoof · 12-07-2010, 12:49 AM

I don't want to presume to know better than someone in the industry...but IMHO those little logos are going to add up to a lot of lost sales.

muckyp · 12-07-2010, 12:56 AM

I like the look, they just don't make wide enough!

danman987123 · 12-07-2010, 02:00 AM

20x10....i think that is pretty decent wide....i know i wish i had a 20x12....but the 20x10 looks good

I would have bought a set of the 20's when they came out if not for the logo...

67C10BUB · 12-08-2010, 07:08 AM

They were selling these at the Pomona, CA swap meet for $850 for a set of 20's. Not bad.

**special-K** · 12-08-2010, 09:35 AM

They probably put their logo on the spokes so you know they're not the wheels they're copying.Weld Racing does the same thing with a (very) similar wheel.

AusMarty · 12-08-2010, 09:56 AM

They are quite popular over here, don't know where they are made though

Here is a ebay link for 18's

67C10BUB · 01-29-2011, 10:48 PM

Nobody has these on their truck? I am seriously thinking of getting them, but they only come in one backspacing. I would like to know if they would be OK. They are:
Front 20x8.5" = 5.25" BS
Back 20x10 = 5.5" BS

BIGBLU 72 · 01-29-2011, 10:56 PM

awww man not in a 6 lug

chevy406 · 01-29-2011, 11:09 PM

You think you could maybe fill in the letters and powdercoat them?

I'm still contemplating these in the polished versions in 18/20. They are very nicely priced.

danman987123 · 01-31-2011, 02:14 AM

where are you guys finding these for sale???

Bennett68C10 · 01-31-2011, 08:45 AM

I found them on ebaymotors, search streeter. I emailed the seller to see if he has the 20x10 available yet. Waiting to hear back from him.

67C10BUB · 01-31-2011, 02:01 PM

I found them at the Pamona, CA swap meet and they did have 20x10. I got the guy's card. His name is Carlos Juarez and his phone # is 714-408-8577 and his email is carlos@showwheelsusa.com. He had them for $850 for a set of staggered 20's at the swap meet, but that may be a show special.

Bennett68C10 · 01-31-2011, 02:04 PM

I received an email back from the seller on ebay and he stated that he won't have the 20x10's until the end of february. These are hard to beat for the price.
