Exclamation Where do I get some Coys?

Hey guys! I've always loved the coys wheels a lot of you are rolling already. Never bothered looking into them much simply because my truck, being a 1975 C20 with the 8 lug setup, wasn't "cut-out" for the wheels.

But... I'm starting to consider buying a set of adapters to convert my truck to 6 lug using this setup:

What's your guys opinion on this? And will it even fit a set of coys?
I'm having a hard time finding some good information on them which is weird because they're on so many trucks, and even more cars.

Here are the wheels I would like to run, maybe even with a 20 rear/18 front setup? Who knows we'll see:

I'd love your opinion and if you can tell me how to make this work!

Thanks for your time guys

I would skip the adapters and just swap the truck over to 6 lug.What rear end do you have in it now ?

I don't think Coys makes a 6-lug wheel....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I currently have the 8 lug 4:01 rear end in it. Not fast, but good enough to do a solid burnout and it satisfies my desires. Wouldn't the adapters just be cheaper and easier to do? What do you guys think...

I don't trust a adapter seen a few fail and its never pretty when you lose a wheel.
