Is there a quality wheel left?

I am having a heck of a time deciding on a wheel. I want an 18x9, with a positive offset, nothing lower than +12. I also want chrome, none of the black wheels like all the sheep these days.

The problem I am finding is, they have REALLY cheaped out on making chrome wheels. They don't dip them anymore like they used to. Is there a quality brand of wheel left out there? I need a wheel that I can run year round, where the chrome can stand up to 12 months of wear.

  with your further description, I'd be looking at all front end components. Control arm bushings can be deceiving. May look like fair condition but they're allowing play

  Good Afternoon..thanks for the reply. I purchased the truck with 108,000 miles on it in 2018. It now has just under 170,000 miles. My previous truck, a 1992 Chevy K1500 Silverado had 370,000 miles on when I sold it at 13 years old and I never felt anything like this, but then again it wasnt 25 year old. I do not feel that all the time. Only when catching a bump just right". I was assuming that it was time for ball joints, control arms, tie rods, etc. but I am being told all of that is solid and not in need of replacement, although the buishings that I can see in the wheel well appear to be dry and cracked. Ill take a look at the parts you mentioned and will start going thru the forums for info. Just had the idea to look for a forum the other day since I am not satisfied with what I am being told and what I feel when driving the truck.

  Not surprised, but hugely disappointing. My 2014 wheels don't clear the 2026 calipers.

  Has anyone noticed how much heat is coming out the tailpipe and melting the front of the trailer! I was hooking up yesterday to leave the campsite and noticed a ton of heat coming out the tailpipe. What have you done to lessen the heat? I noticed Banks has a tailpipe that directs the heat out the right hand side but not too sure if that is just snake oil or something worth considering.
