Dakar Wheels

Interesting option. Good offset for our trucks and tough as hell. They are salty though. I might stop in there and see them in person the next time I am down that way. Thinking the Matte Bronze might look cool on my blue truck.

Yup, those would look good.

I agree but they don't come any wider than stock: 8"

Pretty expensive for low pressure cast.

Look good, but the price hurts. Not much more you can have a set of Hutchinsons. And still only 8” wide, wtf? Most tire manufacturers dont even recommend their 12.5” wide tire for anything less than 8.5”.

I like them, they look sporty. For the price, I'd have to get a set of Walker Evans wheels though.

I noticed the same things; 8" wide, expensive, and you can bet freight from the east coast is going to be high too. It's a good looking wheel (assuming "EVOCorse" and "Fondmetal" are decals you can peel off), but the 8" width is the real killer for me.

I was surprised that they are not forged too given the classes they are certified for. I don't do anything high speed or too crazy so I doubt I would break them. It is a lot of coin regardless.

I spent too many hours at an impressionable age watching World Rally Championship and Dakar on Speedvision. We used to meet at my buddy's late on Friday night and watch until almost breakfast on Saturday morning. That might account for the unhealthy appeal that they have for me.

This may be the one and only time being in the East would help me with a purchase for my truck. I am always crying about truck shipping stuff here from the west coast.
