Wow there sure is a lot of ignorance there. I'd bet that half of those guys would believe Obama is Muslim.

Are those wheels you have in your wheelskirt mockup stock on that truck? If not do you know what brand/model they are? Looks like the rim is steel? Is that correct?
Thanks for any info.
Wheels are aftermarket made by a Company called Rota, model is the Slipstream.. (lightest wheel they carry)

These are a 16x7....lightweight alloy (13.9lbs)

the name of the color is called Steel Gray

heres where you can get the best direct pricing.. www.18racing.com

their ebay name is WheelBay and you can find slightly better deals on there...

lots of colors and offsets available..
custom stuff takes upto 3 months, mine did because the color and offset I ordered was an odd combonation

HA HA HA

I am actually registered there and occasionally post when I need some help fixing stuff.

There are a lot of jokers on that site and you just have to laugh with them. I suspect about 3/4 of the responses are just a bunch of guys joking around.

However you have failed to do your marketing due diligance. If you would have stuck a NASCAR sticker on it, no one would have dared make fun of it.

Including Obama's half brother Malik, apparently. I wonder if Malik posts at ToyotaNation.

I hang out on Ford and general diesel pickup sites and this got a better reception. Now the guys are dogging me wanting commercial info.

Bondo, if the Craftsman Truck series ever adopt something like this for their race trucks, you won't be able to make them fast enough.

Brett, the important thing is that folks like myself like the look of your design, so you have a market segment interested. I have a 93 Chevy K1500 and would be interested in having one of your lids built for my truck, or would appreciate at least being kept apprised of when you will begin fabrication on a lid that would fit my truck.

Mike
