Noticed this on CL: http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/pts/1989513940.html

I might have to stick with 33's for a bit longer if these pan out...

Seems like a decent deal.
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.

Your steelies made such a no-bling statement, I'd have to get used to the glare off these puppies.

I'm thinking these rims could be a temporary fix... Thinking of turning my faux beadlocks into REAL beadlocks. Thanks for those kit links Kyle, getting me in the right direction. :friday:

The kits are pretty cool. They will widen your wheels so keep that in mind if thinking of using what you had. I was thinking of finding 7 inch wide or some stock 7.5 steelies to had them to for a resonably narrow end product, but my steels have tires and are for sale, so I figure its better to wait to have the exact wheels in hand before ordering.

True... Took a closer look at my wheels today, I could cut behind the current fake ring and save close to a quarter inch. Sticking out much wider is goin to mean more trimming up front, arggh. Maybe I should keep waiting for 7 - 7.5 ers...
