Which Wheels Should I Get?

[stefman722]

Hey!

 

I've narrowed it down to the following....

 

1. Helo 835's in the machine/black colour (Backspace is 5.71 +18mm offset)

 

 

 

2. Eagle Alloy 197 in the machine/black (no clue what offset of backspace this wheel is lol)

 

 

3. Ultra Mako 6 (Same as Matt's rim)

 

4. Core Racing Rogue (offset of +25mm and only seems to be available at Kal-Tire in Canada)

 

The reason I like the Rogues are because I can get them for $750 installed for all four and comes with 2 year warranty.

 

I want to stick with 18" rim and like the black/polished or machined look cuz im thinking it would look good with my white truck. It's a big decision! haha.

Im partial to #3 (obviously) and #4 because i like the cleaner look of the solid spokes... i think #1 and #2 are too busy (damnit Mark... when you read this...your wheels do look nice, i just prefer the look of 3 and 4 more. sorry bud )

 

 

With that said...

 

#1, #2 and #4 that you posted are pictures of 8 lug wheels. MANY manufacturers change the # of spokes based on the # of lugs... so triple check those series to make sure that the 6 lug wheel does not look different otherwise you may end up with a wheel that you dont like

Thx for the heads up. I'll have to check with them to make sure!

I agree with Matt. All are great but I prefer #3 and 4.

WOW Matt!!! I am starting to get a complex here. You don't like my lightning bolt tires and NOW you think my wheels are too busy.

 

BTW stefman....I'd go with the Helo 835s. Not near as BORING as options #3 and #4!!

 

Matt thinks he knows everything! OK...maybe he does, but we don't have to encourage him!!

Suck-up!!

I don't think you'll go wrong with any of the 3 choices, but I do like the #3.. Just a cleaner look to me.

It's a conspiracy I tell ya!! How much did Matt offer you to say that!!

[yaman3]

I like 1 or 2 (I have 2)

I like #4 it's very clean and looking at Matt's rig they look GRRREAT

Matt's my new best friend

I actually like them all. 2 and 3 look best to me.

There's too many good responses to quote in this thread. I love it

 

[stefman722]

You know, I noticed that anytime I make any reference to Matt my threads turn into shit shows! LOL!!!!

I donno man... i think its working out OK.

 

Here's the tallies i see so far:

 

Wheel 1: l l

Wheel 2: l l

Wheel 3: l l l l l

Wheel 4: l

 

Note that I think Mike meant to say #3 because he said they look great on my truck.. but i have number #3 and not #4 like he posted. If he really meant to vote for #4, then one of the lines has to get moved down.

 

Did you ever find a 6-lug picture of #4? That's a good lookin wheel... curious what the 6-lug version looks like..

 

 

And as soon as I saw the wheels posted i knew this thread was going to take a little tailspin.... Mark and I had an interesting discussion in the "tires" thread: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?...=113354&hl=
