Thanks Frankie! these things ROCK! :beer:

I appreciate you getting them made and shiped to me as fast as you did. Cust service like that is hard to come by these days. I live down the street from Stockton Wheel and wouldnt dream of using them for just that reason. Thanks again Frankie!

they where a little more because of the 2 1/2 ton pattern but I think I paid $185 each for the 15x10 3"bs 32 bolt. I think the "standard patterns" are a bit less. and there was no additional charge for custom backsets. hardware included. :)

Ditto on that it took me over 6 months to get my BL's from Stockton and I ended up leaving the deal botched to try and fix it myself later down the road!

Glad you got a good deal from Frank and I'll keep him in mind WHEN these Stockton Wheels break!:eek:

are the centers flat and how thick are they in the middle? Most of the custom rims I have seen w/ a flat center seem to bend easy by the lug pattern.

They are 1/2" thick in the middle... gonna have fun trying to bend that out. They're actually 2 1/4" thick plates welded together... its done that way because if you had to use a weld hot enough to penetrate 1/2" into the thinner wheel material, sometimes it over-penetrates and may cause leaks/etc.

These damn things are STOUT and they're an excellent deal!

Sounds cool. Amy Bullouch's she-j has custom ones like that and she bends them every once in awhile. I don't know what the centers are made of tho..... I bet w/ some nice powdercoat they look great!!!!!!

I spent about $10 bucks on some krylon and primer.... and mine turned out looking as good as my high dollar MRTs did.... and at least I can beat the hell outta these and then re-paint em and they'll look brand new..

I think 6 and 8 lug patterns are about $10 cheaper and 8" probably another few bucks cheaper. Give him a call. He is a cool guy.
