Looking at new rims

Guys, I'm looking at swapping out my existing big rims for something like Cyclone I Hurricane Turbine wheels

http://bit.ly/Xc1t4g#

They are 15x10" with 4" backspacing. Looks like that would work.

Opinions? Thoughts?

Those are killer. How are you going to tuck them under the truck at 10" wide?

Good question. I need to do a comparison with what I have now. I'm hoping I can find a 2xx/50 or less series that will fit. There aren't that many options, out there.

Nice rims Dan but that would stick out 1.75" more than my rims! which are 15x8 front and back.

Your choice would rub horribly on the leading edge of the front fenders when turning.

I've seen those a few times during my search for 6-lug rims. Sadly though, they will look really funny on such a small truck. They are simply too wide.

Hayashi Racing makes a similar wheel. Not nearly as many spokes but the right coloring. The USA website doesn't show the model but there is one that comes in 6-lug that I've seen on their japanese website. They aren't cheap though.
