 Subject: 15x12 wheels? where to buy
IP: Logged
Message:
anyone know where I can buy some 15x12 wheels for my dak 6x4.5 ?? Getting my suspension lift put on next week and I can't find any place that shows a selection.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I don't care about back spacing since the truck will be sitting well above the tires.

I had a set of Billet Specialities 15X12s on my 99 , traded a set of 15X10 Welds for them. I`m pretty sure you can get Welds in a 12 in. wide though.
What yr. truck do you have and how much lift, and size tire are you going to be running?
I had 9in. of lift w/38 Swampers and had to do alot of trimming just to drive on the road , never did wheel it much...would have ripped the fenders off for sure.

You`ll never get 12in. wide wheels under there!

I"m actually getting the truckn suspension lift 6.5 inches and I already have the 3in body lift. I know that a lot of people on the board don't like truckns lift but the shops thats putting my on is going to warranty the lift and work for 2 years or 25k miles. So I'm covered I think. I've got close to 100k miles on the truck and if all goes to hell..guess I'll just buy another truck. But I don't plan on wheeling the truck.. just cruise around and light trails when I go fishing.
Scott, I actually got the idea of 15x12 rims from you, reading a few of your posts about that purple dak with 38s. I have 99 dakota 5.2 liter as well, 4x4, and I think at this point I'm gonna try the 38 inch parnelli jones dirt grips. The shops going to try out some different tires and we'll see which ones work best.
I was hopeing to get the lift put on this Wed, but looks like I"m going to have to wait until June 5th because I had an uexpected money issue come up.
Scott, did you order those billets directly. I found a place that will make billets to custom fit my dak but it's like 300 bucks a pop and times 5 wheels.. ouucchh ? Where did you buy yours?
thanks for the info

I traded my set of 15X10s for them , from a friend of mine that had them on a Durango with low profile tires, and even then they were rubbing for him , so...I ended up with them.
He ordered them from Billet Specialties and I`m pretty sure they were close to $400 ea., ouch!
I paid around $230-$250 ea. for my 10 in Welds , so I`d say you`d be looking at $300 easy for 12s.
Have you thought about going to 16s , not sure of availablity but the bigger rims might look better overall.
