Not to crush anyone's dreams, BUT the truck will be getting black reems for 2 reasons.

A.) Steve chose black and 3.) because they're already here.

Big thanks to Jason at G racing for getting some wheels to us in a pinch while BMF sits on their thumbs some more. Not the first wheel choice and most likely not permanant for more than one reason, but oh well.

Are the wheels going to the paint shop with the cab and bed? :poke: :D

Wheels look great. Why the hate? Novakane is still my favorite wheel...and not because thats what I run.

At least they have some polished/bare aluminum showing and are a gloss black instead of the matte you had posted about a while back. Those you were interested in wouldn't have done the trick, but these are way better. Still not my thing but they'll look alright. Gare, wheels like these and yours are what I was meaning when I said a while back that some looked a lot better than others. With the aluminum showing to break up the black.

Good to see this progressing along Steve!

Since when did Steve have any say on what gets done to this truck?

I still think all it needs is a tune, turbo and trans. 650 should he more than enough to run you into a ditch on the street

Ive been telling him this for a long time. 600 hp street truck would be a blast and mostly problem free....

Exactly. Problem free = fun. Problem after problem just leads to bill after bill and this holds especially true if the work needs to be farmed out. No one wants to work on their rig or have it at a shop all the time.

Uh, 600 is a tune & exhaust, but 700 is pretty easy to get, and a decently built trans and head studs will keep it reliable. 700>600 IMO

I told him that before he even bought it. He won't listen to me though. My 2wd only made 480 on fuel and it was a riot. But when was Steve someone that listened and learned from other peoples previous experiences?!
