Nice! There are a few guys on the "big meats" thread with the 15's but not the 14's. I have been dying to see these mounted and they look awesome.
How do they ride?

They ride well, they are a little noisy when slowing down to a stop but overall a good setup and ride and has a nice look |

| Those look good. I'm a fan of the no hubcap look but never thought about removing the clips. |

You can probably find some kind of rubber plug to stick in the drum's hole.
