Re: anyone on here running these wheels?

I just got a set of 18's and 20's about 2 weeks ago. I got the chrome ones and am impressed with the quality of the chrome. Couldn't be happier with the wheels themselves. Their Customer service leaves a lot to be desired though!!! You can see them in my avator.

Thanks for the reply. Got any bigger pics of your ride. Looks good.

Re: anyone on here running these wheels?

I sent them an e-mail a month ago, no reply. I want to modify a set of 18/20s.

Re: anyone on here running these wheels?

Best way to get ahold of them is to call. They are a mom-n-pop outfit who, as far as I can tell, gets Boyd's old tooling when he's done with it.

Don't believe me? Check out their center caps. and the 'Rodder5'. Looks curiously like a Magneato eh?

Not a bash by any means. Just try to find a 20", reverse offset, deep dish, smooth lip wheel with hidden valve stems cheaper anywhere. It ain't gonna happen.

I spoke with them and they said to expect a 1 month lead time on 20x10s. I can deal with that for half price savings.

The rims look great in pics, but personal reviews are hard to come by. Maybe svgould can enlighten us?

If the quality is good, I would buy a set.

Re: anyone on here running these wheels?

Hi,

Front
18X8
4.5 inches backspacing
255/55/18 falkens

Rear
18x20
5.25 backspacing
275/55/20 falkens

I picked these wheels over the TT2’s simply because of price. The wheels themselves look really good. No pitting or whatever in the chrome and other than these not having a lip they look identical to the TT2’s. I had to use a low profile valve stems ($20 for the set) to clear the brake rotor (the valve mounts towards the center of the wheels rather than towards the outside like most wheels. This is for looks I think, because you can barely notice the valve stems at all). The wheels are made in China......but what isn't?? If I had to do it over again, I would still go with the Coy’s just for the price.

Enjoy,

Shane

Re: anyone on here running these wheels?

Those wheels look nice & the prices are decent but they don't offer much (any?) selection when it comes to backspacing.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Luckily what they do offer will fit our trucks perfectly...
