They look tough.

 

Qustion: are you running stock tires right now? those wheels would look nice with some 285's wrapped around them.

You won't be disappointed, it'll look great! However, the maintenance of polished aluminum wheels is a pain, especially in winter. I would keep the stock Alcoa's as they are clear coated and much easier to maintain for the winter months. If you don't have to worry about road salt you will never put the stockers back on.

I had those on my last truck. They look great with 265's on them. The maintenance on those are terrible. You have to polish them once per month to keep them nice. If you live in an area with slushy, salty roads in the winter, go with chrome ones. You'll be much happier, trust me.

Those look pretty good

Ive got the stock right now with 245's . Im tired of looking at them

What do you recommend cleanning/polishing them with?

[Daubs]

I'd agree with Pancho. Stick with the stock rims. Buddy of mine got some stylin new Alum rims, and is cussing them every time he spends hours on his knees polishing with his fingers. Ick.

 

If you are getting aftermarket rims, step up to chrome plated. Otherwise, stick with stock. Much easier to maintain.

Ive got the stock chrome wheels right now w/245's, They gotta go, If i dont go with the wheel i posted, im going with the factory aluminum rims.

stock wheels look fine with 285's

I think im right, but the bolt pattern on my 2500HD is 8/6.5 i think, is this right

I have a set of Progressive 5 spoke Rims on my 2001 CC in silver paint with clearcoat. I think they looked the best out of all of the rims I test fit. I fit about 20 rims on my truck before I decided to go with the Progressive's.

I love the way my truck looks with the rims and 295 BFG AT's. They don't rub and all I did was level my truck, pull back the parking brake cable and trim about 1/4 inch off my valance edges.

I agree with that aluminum is a pain but I would take cleaning over chrome anyday

My 2 cents for what it's worth which is like the exchange for canadian money
