    I like A & B fairly simple and clean design, Color options would be good ( Gloss Black, Flat Black, Bronze, Gunmetal )

    I'd be down for any of the offerings. It's great to see clean, non-tonka truck wheels becoming more available for our trucks. Like others have mentioned....the lighter the better IMO. Any insights as to how these wheels are cast/forged?

    I like the 6 spoke the most. I the only request I would make is that they offer a wheel with 3.50" or 3.75" of backspacing most of the wheels with that kind of BS are steel and if I wanted steel wheels I'd keep the ones I have now.

    Exactly. Not everyone wants to run they "Hey look at me I'm a douche bag with my rockstar rims" look. Clean and simple. These are going to be cast. Judging by the current line and their target market and affordable pricing.

    I like the six and seven spoke. Especially the six. Don't care for the split spoke.

    I like the 6 and 7 spoke. Not a fan of the split spoke. Like the center cap on al of them with the "8" better than the center cap that is on the current Level 8 wheels. Looking to possibly get the Level 8 Trackers this summer with some Duratracs.

    Would or could the center caps be switched out if and when these wheels were made?

    Love the classic look of the 6 spoke. They are symmetrical as opposed to the seven spoke. Love Volk TE37's though.

    Need a 17 x 8 0 offset or +6 offset. That's my 2 cents.

    I would buy a set no question, and I'm in the market.

    Level 8 sent us some more pics with some minor changes. What do you think?

    Six spoke:

    Seven spokes look good. Make sure they have the valve stem come out in between the spokes, not on the lip. So as to keep the stem from getting eaten by a rock. Also offer a center cap "8" in Electric blue and Racing Red.

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. They just sent me one more concept for now. This is basically their split 6 spoke concept but with the split filled in.
