muscletruck · 08-25-2002, 10:51 PM

HEy ALL..... I know i have seen these type of rims before on this board..i believe the truck was flat black with flames....but he had Prime Wheels and they looked JUST LIKE those weld drag lites...I AM VERY CHEAP and i like to cut corners and i was wondering if they were any cheaper than WELD or CRager....THAnKs ALL

fast_dev · 08-25-2002, 11:46 PM

much cheaper, to get those in six lug from weld you have to get draglite XP's which are like $220 a wheel. prime's are about $140ish a wheel, that was my truck with them on.

I've got a set of 5 star prime wheels on my truck... 1st week I had them I went to clean them up with aluminum wheel cleaner and it ate the clear coat right off... clouded the finish

They are good wheels I think, no problems physicaly. Just be carefull of the finish.

cool.........FASTDEV..nice truck i like the way they look with the flat black.....ZCAST....that sucks...i was thinking about getting the stars but then i would have to convert over to five lug...thanks a lot....hmm 140 Not too bad lets see.....140*4=ojhfokjhwdf about 560..... HMMMMMM i might be re thinking my wheel choices...just stick to ralleys or go with some cheapy US WHEEL wheels......thanks again

I bought mine from a conversion company reseller in Oklahoma City. I cant remember the name of it right off hand but if anyone is from the OKC or Norman area they'll know what im talking about.
They sell the Seats, interior parts, wheels, tires and anything else that comes off the original SUV or vans from the factory when they go to a conversion company.

I bought my wheels as blems, only a small portion of the black inside was scratched, and paid around 65.00 per wheel.

Bill72BB,

What brand/model wheels are those? They are pretty much exactly what I'm looking for (8 lug draglite style w/ larger holes). Also, how much and where did you purchase them. I am also in the So Cal area, so was wondering if it was from a local dealer.

Bill72BB · 08-26-2002, 09:43 PM

The wheels and tire's lt265/75 16 ,wheels 16x 8 with lug nuts and caps installed were 750 .
