Looking at wheels...

Daryl LBZ · May 5, 2012

So I started looking up wheels for my truck. I really like these ones:

I've found a few other ones, but these are more in my price range and will fit better in the fender wells over the other ones I've been looking at.

Nice looking design.

Meh...they don't mesh with your truck. I would stick with chrome in your case.

I like those.....but maybe I'm a little biased.

Haha are they the same rims you have? I didn't even realize until now. As for the chrome rims I wouldn't mind a set, but I'm to lazy to take care of them. I like my stock rims it's just they don't stick out enough with the fenders for me. Id use wheel spacers, but I've heard thats not a good idea.

What is the offset of the wheels? that will determine how far they "stick out" from the fender well.

Yep, those are the same rims I have on my truck now.....Vision Warrior 375's

The wheels are 17x8.5 with 5.710 in Backspacing and +25.00mm Offset. They'll stick out about an inch more than my stock wheels. Someone already informed me of that...

I was looking at these wheels also:

They would probably go better with the truck than the other ones.

I prefer the Ultra's but I just don't think the polished/black wheels go with your truck. Your truck has a lot of chrome and I would either stick with that theme or start colormatching and removing non-essential chrome....***cough*** bug shield ***cough*** Just my .02.

I somewhat agree with you. I agree that the bug shield is a bit much, but I had it on my other truck that had the none chrome front end, and I wasn't buying another one. I can't take it off either because with the other truck my hood was chipped everywhere, and I don't want that happening with this truck. Now I could get a black one, but that would clash too, so the only good option is to take it off all together, but again paint chips... Ugh the rust belt...

My main problem with the wheels now is that they don't stick out enough otherwise Id be alright with them. I really want a set of the 18" Z71 wheels, but by the time I buy a set I might as well go aftermarket. I'm happy to take suggestions Matt. Any rims you would recommend that are reasonably priced?

Both rims are very nice, I personally like the above pictured rim.
