LOL thats kind of a cool idea, but they would probably be heavy and I don't know how strong they would be.

Try a search, it has been mentioned on here before. If I find it, I'll post up the name for you

Good luck on the wheels man, and when they get done post some pics. You should get the rears widened to 11" too. I saw a set of 10 spokes somewhere that were widened and they looked sweet. Not my wheels of choice, but they are different and a factory "sleeper" wheel

Check out this post, there are a few guys running 17x7 front runners and it look pretty good, I'm more of a corner carver, but it does look cool
