Anyone can go and get an 8 spoke reproduction wheel. Stick with the original Ansens you have.

All chrome would look great... Run 135's up front with a 2 inch beam and 195 65 rears. They need to be chromed though.

how much would a narrowed 2inch beam cost? if i run the ansens i got to narrow the front anyway. they stick out, all 4 do about 1inch.
