Opinions? I know many think this wheel is played out, and I can agree, but I'm in the market for a low offset, inexpensive wheel. Otherwise what are some good alternatives? I'm not opposed to buying used, but it would be nice to find something sooner than later.
I don't think the diamond wheels are played its a good wheel affordable and easily replaceable . Can spray them any color . I no they can bend easy if your run like a forty series tire so might wanna beef up the sidewall for a truck
If you're looking for something even cheaper that has the same look, check out Bart wheels on summit. I've been thinking about pick up diamonds or those lately for some cheap beater wheels. http://www.summitracing.com/search/...d/bart-wheels/wheel-bolt-pattern/5-x-4-1-2-in
I love steelies. Any of the race type shapes would look good. A 15 or 16 would be perfect, with no smaller than a 50 series tire. If you wanna get low, short tires isn't how you do it lol
Werd. Before they were "cool" wagon and D window wheels were the just about the cheapest aftermarket wheels out there.
There are lots of brands making the designs. We have some D spokes on the front of our '91 440 Dakota project. Haven't bought rears yet but they have the specs we need there too. Probably a 15x10 6" BS Anyways, my vote is they will work good on the nooklux or the 94.
That's what I'm talking about. I really like the look of the stock steelies that are currently on my truck. The Bart wheels have a similar look, but are more aggressive. I know you have to be careful with the DR rims, how do these hold up?
I'm running some on my truck don't know the offset tho I started rocking them b4 they hit the jdm scene Pick them up for 150 Off a fellow TM member flacostaco with good tires
Haven't run them before , but in all honesty, should be very similar to diamond racing. As long as you aren't tracking them everyday, or running super low pros, they should be fine for daily use. I read others reviews on forums, and they seem to hold up fine.
I can get some pics of the 440 dakota tomorrow. atleast a shot with the wheels. rears are still stock 70s truck steelies we had.
Here's the ones I'm planning on putting on my truck. Stock Lincoln Towncar wheels circa late 90's early 2000's. Kinda like the D wheels but aluminum and slightly more stylized.
I forgot that my ramcharger has black spoke wagons too. 15x7 5x4.5". If you wanna buy them let me know. I have a set of alloys to stick back onto it. Heres some pics of the dakota and the ramcharger with those wheels.
Tp88 you get your truck running Byker . Had to do a double take on the Dakota I was like is that the bell housing o wait there's the motor . Squeezed that hos in there didn't ya
Yeah, its a road eater for sure. The reason we cut the firewall out is to pull the engine back for better weight distribution. It sits on stock 4 cylinder front springs and is about stock height still because of the weight shift. We have to finish the firewall then add a foot operated throttle. Using a rope for now while we test the bugs and stuff. Should run 12s You may notice the dual bolt patterns. 91 is the first year of 6 lug and we found rims at the swap meet so never changed it to the 5 lug 87-90 parts. Using a 67 Dodge van rear end. Its an 8-3/4" with 3.91s. This truck is half the reason I wanna small block dodge motor in my 78. No, back to the normal thread. Sorry Henry
I'll keep these in mind. Just need to figure out what direction I'm going to take the 94. They look great!
