Ouch.... talked to Diamondback, $297 a tire for redlines. Did not even bother to ask about a whitewall. They will not let you send your tire to them you have to buy there tire... too steep for me.

Re: OG 66 C-10 Custom

Can't wait till those wheels get some tires and the truck on the ground! Another guy on here has those wheels powder coated, but do not think his are on yet either. Have you considered painting the lip of the wheel white or red and just getting blackwall tires?

I had thought about leaving a lip of the wheel polished but decided against it due to the uneven surface left behind next to an unpowdercoated section. I did order my tires and they should be in Monday or Tuesday. I got the BFG G-Force T/A KDW NT... or in short these.

I ordered the 255/35-20's for the front and 265/35/20's for the rear. As soon as they come in I will take some update pics as I have the suspension finished front and rear. I have also mounted the bed and have the framework in for the new bed floor.

Hey Dino whats up? I am going to run a York 210 off of my serpentine pulley system. I like to take a little different route so I want to go with a under hood air system. I am also not fond of the compressor hum and vibration with the electrical compressors. And I do not want to run more than one optima yellow top.

I see nothing about that truck that I don't like! That's going to be sweet when she comes together.

Yes but I will change them up some. I think that I will cut them down on the lathe and then cnc machine new center caps for them with my business logo in them. Here is a pic of my corporate logo.

No, that is a clients super beetle that is getting a SFI approved cage that I will be starting on today. The car will have a huge 500hp turbo motor and should go deep into the 8's in the 1/4 mile.
