[bgstew6]

no problemo.

Not my cup of tea... I think they look a little... is delicate the right word? But seriously Larry, I guess you're trying to be a little different and its really all about what you like. Me, I think wheels with that much air space look better on a smaller vehicle, maybe like a M3, Boxster, or vette. Certainly more of a road car rather than a truck that excels in the quarter mile. I'm also not a fan of the nuts. I had a 944 a few years back with 3-piece BBS wheels. PITA to keep clean. Did you have Boyd's on the old L?

LL, you are a lunatic man.. a new L, new s/c, tvs, wheels.. you have serious mod addiction man. but congrats. those wheels look good, and 18's is the way to go, with a drop it will look great, and no sense adding the weight of a bigger wheel.

those are forged Al wheels, 20s will weigh no more than the stockers. The only disadvantage will be a slight reduction in final drive ratio. :read:

if you go out to the money tree for boze, the speedster is in my opinion the best looking wheel for our truck....

hey larry, has your card had time to cool off from all the swiping it's gone through in the last, oh i dunno, day.

Awesome LL!! Stock is 5.8" backspace, 14mm offset.

Pitstain, your 20's look way better than an 18.

Pitstain, your 20's look way better than an 18.

How can you make that statement without actually seeing how 18's look on a Lightning?
I think some of you big wheel guys are just anti 18". oke: I'm sure Larry is focusing
on the performance aspects

Larry, I think the wheels will give your truck a classy/racy appearance.

Different strokes. I want 18s for now. I can run DRs and 18s ride better.

I've had 20s before. Nice look, Poor ride.

Thanks Bob;-)

im getting these wheels for LL. they will be 2 piece polished, with bolts. i dont think gloss black would look good on an SB L, maybe flat black. i think polished will offset the SB just perfectly. and like i told LL, if he gets bored with them in a few months he can sell them off and go for a new set since he's getting such a good deal. :thumbsup:

 

[LIGHTNING LARRY]

I have been thinking of the same style wheel, just polished instead.

I'm going with fully polished.epper:

 

[NO-BlkLightning2K]

don't 20's fck up handling as well?

 

[LIGHTNING LARRY]

Well POOP! The deal fell through.

I won't be getting these wheels.

 

[pitstain]

if you size everything correctly 20's will improve handling due to the shorter tire sidewall, my setup also weighs LESS than stock, handling acceleration and braking are all as good or BETTER than stock.

im no engineer but doesnt rotating mass come into play? since the weight of the actual rim is further away from the center of the wheel. like swinging a yoyo around in a circle? the farther the yoyo gets the heavier it feels...

i personally think 20s look awesome on Ls, 22s even better. saw an L on 22s at the shop yesterday and it looked awesome. i have 22s on my L powered F150. i keep the stockers on DRs for track runs. :thumbsup:

That's what I have on my truck, and they're for sale.

THAT SUCKS!!! I'm sure you'll find a suitable set before long.

yes rotaional mass does come into play here going to 20's. i dont care if the wheel weighs the same or not. pushing weight further away from the axis does require more power.
