Curious what the gain in section width is, M/T claims about .4 for every 1 inch if rim width. It gained just about 1", Section went from 14.5"-15.5" Doug

Looks amazing, those wheels are probably the best value on the market. Look awesome, well built, and light weight.

Looks Great Doug! Curious, what do the front and rear wheel weigh individually? Would like to see the weight savings possible on my car.

New Billet Specialties to replace the cracked Americans. Went from 10' to 12" . It'll need a little flange trimming for good measure. Doug gangster looks good

We run a 12" wheel with the 29.5x10.5 tires. Guys in the class have gone even larger on the wheel. Really stretches it out and seem to be happier.
