Which wheels?
Vote for your preference...
1) Boyd Coddington Smoothie II's  2) American Racing Torque Thrust II's  3) Hot Wheels (yes, Hot Wheels) "68"  4) Boss 312  And here's the truck...  Wheels on the truck in this pic are 17". The first two wheels above are available in 18" (which is my objective), the third is 17" only, and the last one is 20" only.

How about another option. Since you like this style, here's something new....

The torque thrust is a classic but everyone's got 'em. El numero uno looks pretty close but is different enough to be different....if ya know what I mean.

I hate Boyd...but his wheels look cool. Too many people have the Torque-Thrusts. Here what I want when I get around to wheels. Stockton Wheel makes these. Never seen them anywhere else.

Gotta love the Torque Thrust II's. But with the look of your truck I say go with the Coddington's.

I looked into the Boyd's Cast seriers. (The Smoothie II's or Magneato's). The "buzz kill" was that they don't offer them in 20x8's, only 20x8.5's. After speaking w/ Dave at ECE, he advised against it. He stated that I may have rubbing issues with the tie-rods. Also, I need 20x9.5's for the rear, and they only offered them in 20x10's. Therefore I'm going with the Timeless 5's. Best prices so far were found at http://shop.sportruck.com/bcodd/index.html
XXL, where are the Hot Wheels "68"'s available????

After seeing how Boyd's shop work sand the non-existence of professionalism shown I would never send any money his way. The BOSS 302's have the classic five spoke design, with a little modern flair to them. #4 all the way

Here's one I like in 18"... Coddington Magneto. Very similar to Billet Specialities "Fuelie" posted by N2TRUX.

The hotwheels would be my choice if they had the larger diameter. Even some 17x7 or 8's up front & 17x9.5 or 11's out back would still look killer on your truck.
I'm getting some new shoes for my beater & sticking w/17's this go around. My 18's & 20's have done well for the daily grind but my a$$hole is sore from constricting every time I see a pothole in the road..... You never know which one is going to finally be too big & damage something.

I like boyds but I am pretty disapointed in the quality of the chrome. Mine dont "shine up" nearly as well as other brands, dont get me wrong the look good but even brand new the shine wasnt what I expected.
