Jason does have some nice stuff, this is my second set from his line. Bought the first set back when he first hit the market with them.

These trucks start to look the same after awhile, I had to pull some tricks outta the bag to make it different.

I sold those long ago, They were my down payment on these ones.

dv8customs · 06-28-2011, 03:36 PM

Nice looking wheel, I think they would look better if the center cap was brushed as well but still very nice.

muthstryker · 06-28-2011, 03:39 PM

That was my first option, then I saw a picture of the wheel with a polished cap and for some reason it just looked better to me, It broke the wheel up a little bit.

iceship · 07-16-2011, 08:41 AM

So are they on yet....

muthstryker · 07-16-2011, 01:06 PM

Nooo not yet, I have been working on my cutlass getting that ready for the road so I haven't had any extra money to get tires, soon though!

INSIDIOUS '86 · 07-16-2011, 05:18 PM

as soon as you have that thing ready roll on up so I can take a look see!

muthstryker · 07-16-2011, 07:23 PM

Hoping to get tires on the wheels at the end of the month then have to get the frame welded around the steering box where its cracked then I can drive it there.

VA72C10 · 07-16-2011, 07:43 PM

Very nice wheels! Looking forward to seeing them on the truck...especially once the brakes are on it!!!

shenk10 · 07-17-2011, 04:55 PM

you said about getting 14" wilwoods, did you find a kit that has the same calipers all the way around? I have found a bunch of different kits but none where the calipers are the same in the front and rear.

The Wilwood 14" kit has 6 Piston Front Calipers and 4 Piston Rear Calipers. Brakes cannot have the same number of pistons front to rear. Has something to do with being able to get the correct amount of pressure for them to even close up (If you had 6 piston front and 6 piston rear, it wouldn't work.)

Every car from the factory is like that.

Gordonr1973 · 07-25-2011, 10:21 PM

I like them alot with the polished cap b/c it matches the edge of the spokes where it is polished as well.

So, any pics with tires mounted on yet??

Mr Pops · 07-25-2011, 11:35 PM

Those are sweet! (And I hate 98% of aftermarket wheels)

ooh ouch, gonna have to check mine soon make sure the frame is good there since its a common prob on these trucks

Pro Performance · 07-26-2011, 12:07 PM

Wheels look great man! Looking forward to seeing them on the truck with tires. I really like the brushed / polished combo.

muthstryker · 07-26-2011, 12:51 PM

Ok welll, tires are going to have to wait a little longer.. Back in June I crashed my cutlass into my neighbors garage door and insurance just sent me the bill. $1700!!

muthstryker · 07-26-2011, 01:16 PM

When I jump back onto the truck I will make a build thead.

texas56 · 07-26-2011, 09:29 PM

Gonna look great! Is your truck bagged? If not wonder how much turning radius you will get. Looks good man, look foward to seeing them on the truck!

muthstryker · 07-26-2011, 10:49 PM

The truck isn't bagged yet, I plan on running drop members front and rear. I ordered the wheels off the specs that Nate recommends, which my understanding is I will be able to make a full right turn laid out.

texas56 · 12-02-2011, 11:29 AM

Hey Bud, have you done the research on rear tire size yet? We are doing 22s on one now and was trying to save some time lol

mcboomport · 12-02-2011, 01:28 PM

Wheels are dope! I didn't see, what is the backspacing?

muthstryker · 12-02-2011, 03:58 PM

For rear tires, Im going to run a 285/30/22. I wanted a tire that was under 30"s tall. Wheel specs = Front 22x8.5 with a 5.25" backspace, Rear 22x10 with a 5.5" backspace.

muthstryker · 12-02-2011, 04:05 PM

Still havent gotten tires yet, been out of work for the last 4 months due to carpal tunnel surgery on both hands. Hopeing to jump back on this as soon as I get back to work in January.
