Re: Wheel Suggestions
any wheel size preference? That might help narrow it down.

Re: Wheel Suggestions
i'll tell you a secret..... while you are looking, go to centerline's website. while looking at the wheels, if you see a "check for overstock/closeout" tab in yellow, click that & pick your lug pattern. at times, you can find some really good deals on what you want. i recently bought a set of wheels off the closeout/overstock page that they made to my backspacing & lug pattern request for $199 per wheel with the closeout part number. those same wheels would have cost almost $700 ea at regular price. good luck in the search!!

Re: Wheel Suggestions
Look at lots of pictures.Check picture threads on this sight and go with what you like best.It`s your truck.Are you only adding wheels or are there more plans?If you plan to do over the whole truck,get the end result down on paper and make the wheels fit that.

Re: Wheel Suggestions
I would suggest something timeless and classy such as a classic five or six spoke wheel like the torque thrust, Vintec, etc. You don't want to have buy new wheels in 5 years because your rims are now outdated and are no longer cool.

Re: Wheel Suggestions
I would go with Coys because they are not too expensive and they balance well and they look excellent in my opinion. This is coming from a guy that my last two vehicles had torque thrust.

Re: Wheel Suggestions
Hard to go wrong with the timeless Rallies, even if not correct for our years.

Re: Wheel Suggestions
Yup, rallies are always nice, but don't get the thick trim rings. I don't like my trim rings, make the wheel look too small imo. Also check out the Corvette style rallies for our trucks

Re: Wheel Suggestions
If you go with Rallies, stay away from cheap aftermarket ones from offshore. They will rust more easily and are often not true. Use oem Rallies.
