Re: Bru's Iveco Daily 4x4 based Expedition Vehicle

not sure about the street lock. They are a made in American forged wheel. I think you'll find that a good forged wheel will be in that price range. A good cast wheel will be around $350 - $400 these dasy (Walkers, Methods, Racelines)

What sized wheel? Raceline is doing a 17" that can get that amount of backspacing. Pretty cool looking wheel too:
