Great progress so far Keith!!!!!!

As far as wheels I could understand as I am on my fourth set of wheels and i am already considering selling my billet specialties to order a different style for no reason other than just because.

Wow those wheels are awesome Al, If I could afford them I would be considering them for my truck. I love the style of those, what are you thinking about going with.

If I had alot of money I would probably have five or six sets of wheels just to change the look as often as possible.

Well boys my Coys are sold thanks to member Wasted Income. Now it's time to start looking for new wheels. I will be ordering 20x8.5" billet wheels on all 4 corners so I can tuck the rears up into my stepper fenders without having to tub the bedsides.

I'm looking at a million different styles but have narrowed my selection down to a set of Billet specialties. I'm interested in the polished Dagger, Vintec soft lip, Dyno Soft Lip & SLG15. The first two are within my budget and the last two are a little out of budget but I could make it work

what do you guys think.

Dagger

Vintec

Dyno SL

SLG15

You have good taste. I like the Dyno's just a bit better. Funny how it's a whole lot easier making decisions for someone else.

CC69Rat · 09-19-2012, 04:36 PM

Keith -- PM if you want to know how I got mine, pricing etc. Mine are the grey Daggers but I'm pretty sure the pricing is the same. N2Billet got mine for me..

Thanks Zoomin I was going to post up pictures of each wheel when I got home but now I don't have to. This is a hard decision as I like all the styles.

Thanks Chad I already contacted N2Billet. He's not able to help me right now. I will go through Boris.

I do like Chad's wheels alot but I don't want to be copying off of him with the Grey Daggers on a Stepper

plus I want a polished wheel. I know the Daggers have cast centers but they still look sweet to me.

Your right I can't take it with me, there is about a $700 difference between the Daggers and the SLG15. I really like the SLG15 but I have never seen them on anything for reference. I would love to see a full photo of a car or truck with them on.

keith my choice would be the SLG15 and I would contact Justin at scottshotrods as he also has great prices on billet specialties wheels.
