Which wheels?

TravelinSierra · January 8, 2007

I'm looking at buying a new set of wheels to throw on my Sierra some time. But it will be a while before the purchase.

I am considering price and size, while also wanting to look good. I want either 16 inch or 18 inch (depending on price), and a pattern to match the 6 lugnuts and bolt pattern (like 6 spoke). My pricing will be based on the size, if it hits $925 (for a set of four) or so, theres no way I'm picking them up.

Here's a couple I've looked at so far:

I just need some help on which I should get, like which is the bang for the buck.

Something at a good price while also looking good at the same time.

I know it ultimatly is my decision, but I'd like to hear your thoughts.

TravelinSierra · January 9, 2007

Thanks for your input.

I like #2 also, but also #1.

Well, actually, I've ultimatly have it lowered down, to 1 and 2.

I need some more input, you don't mind.

#2 (crush chrome)

I think they have a cleaner look to them.

Yea, def #2. They remind me of Camaro SS wheels.

TravelinSierra · January 13, 2007

Looks like a decision is made then. I like Crush Chrome as well.

What other Wheel dealers could I go to get the same rim with 18" and less than $250?

I got a quote from them on tires before, shipping was 110 from Nebraska to PA for 4 285/60/18's

If you leave the truck like it is or lower it go with the second link..

If you lift it go with the first link...

JMO.....

I've decided with the 6 split spoke wheels (second link) as 18 inchers for a good price. Since I am not going to lift it, nor lower it.

I've got all the information I need and my decision is made, thank you all for your help, I appreciated. Afterall, I am just a newcomer to the Driving world as well as customization.

This is kinda odd I was going to start a thread on what everyone though of your #1 the AR Chamber wheels on our trucks. I have had my eye on the aluminum 17" wheel for a while now. I wish I could fit 16's on my 05.

Lol. I picked out the Chamber out of the long list of others because I thought it had a good, utilitarian look to them, and my truck is bound to be a utility vehicle because of the trailer break system and whatnot.
