I guess that's the wording I was looking for, the majority of aftermarket wheels seem very 'off road' catered. At least on tirerack, there aren't a lot of 'street' wheels.

I had originally ordered 22s. They actually came in damaged. Which worked out in the end because I was on the fence about them.

My final three choices were down to Race Star Truck Stars, Enkei M6 or ST6, and the Fast Wheels Eliminator. The Eliminator I think was designed as an "off road" wheel but I think it would work for a street setup.

Any idea what the stock 20" sport wheels weigh?

FRPP lists them each @ 40.2 lbs "Packaged weight". 20x8.5.

Assuming it's the same exact wheel that comes on the trucks stock.

Did you get those 24's on yet? Your truck is going to look great.



The more I'm looking at intake manifold options I'm thinking a stall may be more beneficial for roughly the price of the GT350/CJ intakes.

Just more options to weigh.

Nope, not yet. Fighting with Ford over a drive line vibration that is driving me nuts! I dont want to ower it just yet because they will def deny warranty, so its a waiting game. After another attempt, I may pursue a buy back. ... on a side note I did finish powder coating them. I still need to determine which lug nuts I need and order the tires.

I just noticed a little vibration in mine the other day about 60mph. First time I've ever noticed it. I'm going to trouble shoot a few things, my initial thought is driveshaft or tire out of balance. I think there is a flaw with these driveshafts, it was something I'm wanting to upgrade anyways. My pinion angle doesn't look horrible but I may try some shims anyways.

Flaw yes...Ford wont acknowledge because they "presently " dont make parts to correct. Getting an aftermarket 2 piece DS may prove difficult, and trying to have a 1 piece built may be even more difficult because of the length of the DS length in the SCrew. But anyway, im watching your build and expect BIG things from you....being frommy home state of Texas. I responded to your inquiry in another thread...did you raise your center support bearing when you lowered your truck? If you didnt, that may be your issue with slight vibration.

I haven't done that, I need to get under there and take a look. During the week my truck rarely sees 55+ mph. I'm guessing I need to buy a kit from someone.

Also I'm going to be calling a a couple of different driveshaft shops. I did find one online that makes stronger, lighter driveshaft that you can rebuild when needed.
