Redz_02, those are nice looking. These are the ones I'm looking at for my '96 T/A. I'm just worried about their strength.

If they're designed for SUVs and sport trucks, i'd assume they'd handle what an Fbody can give 'em as far as weight. As far as the power goes, i think Billet Spec, or an owner of the wheels can attest to how well they handle an Fbodys power. But, imo, if they're built to handle over 4000lbs, the Fbody shouldnt be a problem

billet specialties are mainly designed for hotrods/musclecars. Think they should handle fine.
