Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop

In a lot of ways I feel like I owe you guys an apology for all the back and forth on my wheels. I just feel like after all the money is spent, the truck is shining, buckets, console, and all the work that first time it's lowered off the jack stands I don't want to have any regrets.

I love the Coys wheels, I have just heard issues about backorders, them shipping the wrong backspacing, Customer Service complaints, having to grind the rotors off to get the caps to fit, cracks around the spokes, etc. But the price is right.

The AR TT2's are killer wheels and one of my all time favorites .. but they are a little played out IMO. Maybe that's why the price was dropping? .. but again I still really like them and I could always do a one off set, painted in a Magnesium look like the old style wheels. $469 for the 20x10s ..

I can't seem t opull myself away from the Centerline Bolevards. That wheel has everything I like in the wheels.. I could do a 20x8 and 20x9.5 and position the wheel where I want it in the wheel well. I'm going to be running 45 series tires too so maybe if I pull the wheel in a little it will give me the sidewall look I'm after (a little roll to the sw) $519 wheel, .. not much more than the ARs.

I could do some Cast center Billet Specialties too .. but I think I might be a bit upset if the truck had to sit outside.

To me it's like a tuxedo with tennis shoes on.. if the wheels don't fit the truck and the look overall then I'm going to be kicking myself and it will ruin the whole project.

Right now, it's between:

Polished Coys C5s
Centerline Sundance Bolevards
AR TT2's painted magnesium / gray in the center and flat brushed caps.

The Centerlines are probably going to be it.

Again, if I'm being a panzee about it I don't mean to be. I just want t oget the truck dropped, at ride height, measure then pull the trigger. I have to tell you if the Centerlines are available that's going to be difficult for me to turn away from. They'll hide my brakes somewhat but I think they'd be killer on the truck. You don't see them very often either.
