"you had better check your nuts each run. . ."

A wise comment no matter what kind of wheels you run.

That is how my MRW's are, concave.  And there are no holes.  Like old school Centerlines, but steel.

I have heard good things about them from a friend in Oklhoma.... can you post some pictures and more details?  Looks like I am either going to use MRWs or Wheelsmiths.......  but I have to decide immediately in time to get them for Maxton in two weeks!

Thanks!

I'll try to find info and pics this weekend.  For any custom wheels, 2 weeks isn't going to be much time.

And it definitely won't happen with Diamond.  I waited 4 months.

Thanks, Steve at Bassett is awesome, but they can't make the offset I need for drag radials to fit in my truck.
