Ridler 695`s

Finally pulled the trigger on my "87" Patina truck. Bought Ridler wheels from Tommy Lee @ TNT one of our venders. Used Nitto 420`s and couldn`t be happier, pictures to follow.

Re: Ridler 695`s

Looks nice and for sure it will look great when you drop it. There is a guy hocking those things cheap here. $590 for a set of 18's and I thought that was not too bad. One thing I've noticed is the backspacing on the rears need to be different. All the trucks I've seen and even mine have the rear wheels sticking in too far. I guess you could use longer studs and use a spacer. I bet if you custom ordered the wheels they wouldn't be a good deal.

Re: Ridler 695`s

I got lucky and found them on Ebay from a wheel store for $560 free shipping, set of 4 18x8.
You can't special order cast wheels as they are avail one way, billet two piece wheels can be custom ordered but we all know the cost of those.
The 18x8's come with 4.5" BS, these trucks need max 4" BS on the rear but a little more on the front to even the look out. The only thing to do is use a spacer on the rear.

Re: Ridler 695`s

Forgot to add that it has "aged" perfectly. The patina look with a drop with those wheels and it will be killer. You should put some sort of aged logo on the doors. I kind of wish I would have bought a not painted truck to get that look.

Re: Ridler 695`s

I'm usually not a person that enjoys large wheels except on very specific vehicles, but those look damn good.
