hmm. good point sid. all the more reason to stick with our oem center face.
i think i might stick to pico wheel. to get a higher offset over at diamond, they charge an extra $10 and it ads 2 or 3 pounds more to an already heavy wheel (they seem to be focused on sheer strength of the wheels).
btw, does anyone know how heavy the stock steelies are, without tires on them? i know that with tires, they are about 40 lbs or something like that. someone confirm

well after visiting their site, you can give your measurements shown here:

to make sure you won't have clearance problem before placing the order.

i need the inside diameter of the barrel, for example a standard 14in wheel should have a 12.25 barrel, to make sure i can get the correct size for your centers... if you provide the wheels i charge $500 plus return shipping, and for my wheels i charge $600 plus shipping...
