I looked into it for a spare set of race only wheels. Nobody makes them due to weight.

Yah Jon I know they would be HEAVY, the over all theme is a COPO but just the look. What woulld a set of 18X10 and 18X12 wheels be that would look like an org 14 inch steel wheel that I could put a dog dich cap on, ball park. Let me know or if should call. I'm sure it is more then the budget will take right now but maybe then I can plan for them???
