15x8
5x4.5 of course
3.25" backspace
-30 mm offset

pretty much identical to a classic 2, or most of the other eagle 15x8s in that bolt pattern. Lefty04LevelII has the exact same wheels. seeing them on his rig got me interested in them at first.

the only thing about where i live is there are only a few places to go to get a good tint job.. and they have said they wouldnt do it because in canada its illegal or at least thats what these places said.....of course if you can find a place that will do it then go for it, tons of people still do, but i dont mind the way it is.

I was looking at those exact wheels about a month back.. no way I can afford them due to winter hours right now.. but I am sure I will end up getting them.. they look smashign on a white truck. i can use my stock rims for my current tires they are on (winter traction).

Thanks for the pics bud.. looks fantastic!

the eagle series number is 185 here is more info http://aewheel.com/eagle_alloy_wheels.cfm?id=104

they actually werent that expensive....imo. about 136.99CAD/ea [which is pretty much on par right now]. Maybe ordering them online could have saved me a few $$, but they seemed like a decent enough price and it was quicker for the local shop to order them in and less hassle for me to deal with.
