Sorry, no pics yet. I've got Billet Specialties and Boyd Coddington wheels
(I have 2 Daks). I went with a western chassis kit on one and chassis tech
on the other. Can't tell the difference between the two brands. However,
on both you can feel the road a little more than stock, but the trucks
handle better. It doesn't hop around as much either. By the way, a sway
bar in the rear helps rear end stability extremely.
