Yeah Showheels should take a look at what he did to those wheels and produce them in the same way. They would sell a hell of a lot more of them. I would have bought them instead of my Coys if they would have looked like this. Definitely give you props for taking brand new wheels and having the know how and fearlessness to modify them. I would have never thought to do that or even had the balls to do it.

Thanks! Casting them without the script on the spokes would help them a lot more, too...

Haha- bravery and stupidity are closely related

I'm just glad the Streeters turned out somewhere close to what I expected them to look like. I do like the shape of the spokes better than the Coy's, but the major factor to me was the price; Coy's have gone WAY up since I last bought them...

I saw exactly zero cars on Streeters at GoodGuys- dunno if that's a good or a bad thing- at least I'll be unique!

There was one truck at goodguys with the show wheels my friends blue and white truck has them!! even know you cant see them

yours look much better tho

nice truck!!!!
