Chris-

I finally convinced my fiancee that I NEED beadlocks if I'm gonna continue to wheel my truck.  I'm in the market here pretty soon (as soon as I scramble the money together...) and would much rather buy from Marlin than anywhere else.  That said, here's what I'm after:

2-2.5" backspacing is a MUST.  Current production alloys only come in 4.5" or more backspacing...not gonna cut it on Toy axles.  I've got 4.5"BS steelies on my truck now just to be able to run my 37 12.50 17 wrangler MTR's and the tires rub everything and the truck is tippy as hell. 

I don't want them too flashy...think unique but understated.  Maybe a variation on the old MT classic...

They gotta come in a 17" size so I don't have to buy another set of tires...

Any idea on how soon we might be able to get our hands on these wheels?  I suspect I'll have  the money in the next 30-45 days, if things stay busy at work...  I'll be willing to put down some money up front to get production going if needed.  My choices now are MRT or Allied, and only in steel if I want the 2 or 2.5" BS.  Throw me a bone!
