Hey, dont know if anyone has seen these new wheels already. They are very very 'blingy' and are also bead-locs, 45$ a pair

Interesting indeed, but I don't really like the design, though.

must take a hell of a long time to set them up. Each wheel has 18 screws per side - 36 screws per wheel - 144 per truck!!!!! Therefore to change a set of tires you need to unscrew/screw 288 screws!!! Thats basically a complete rebuild!

Ja, I thought the same. But here's a quote from the PL site:

This makes your truck totally customizable in a short amount of time.

Short amount of time?! Well, geologically speaking, a few thousand years are a rather short amount of time. LOL

Probably less time to change them than to bake the old tires of a regular set of rims, though. With all those screws, the customer will look like Popeye after changing the tires a few times. :)

I prefer stock, very strong if not the strongest wheel out. Although on the heavy side. Might invest in some boring disc type wheels to lose a pound or so. :)

Any sugggestions?
