I Want 17'' Wheels

ChevyGuy31189 · February 20, 2008

Ok, i just got a 07 Silverado crew cab, its a bad ass truck, I love it! I have 245's tires and 17'' chrome rims. I am thinking about getting new wheels, would like to get 17's so i won't have to get new tires. Where can I get some nice black 17'' wheels for around $400 or $500? or should I paint my wheels black?

heres a pic of my truck

I had the same rims with my truck new, if you dont care about weight, keep em and paint em....I went with the aluminums......too many 'holes' for my taste

Sell you my 20", about 4000 miles on them.

I would run a quick photoshop before you paint your rims. See if you reallly like it or not.

Crager Soft 8's. They run about 50 bucks apiece. I'm not sure if I want these or some American Racings in the teflon finish.

For 400 or 500??? really??

If i could sell my 17's right now i would take them for that!!!!

I highly doubt he will take 400-500 for them, i guarantee those were around 2 grand new.

Just peel the paint off of your "chrome" rims, paint em, and clearcoat em.

IMO don't paint the stock steel wheels black. It will look like you're driving around with 4 spares on.

You have stock 17 inch rims, no new Silverados come with rims smaller than 17 inches. If you buy the 17 inch rims they're selling here, make sure to get better and wider tires. The General tires suck, I had them on my 2006 and they were completely wasted at 20,000 miles. Any rims bigger than 17 inches will fit your truck, don't buy 16 inch rims or smaller because they will not fit your truck.

Crager Soft 8's. They run about 50 bucks apiece. I'm not sure if I want these or some American Racings in the teflon finish.

I have both. The soft 8's are basically the same as what you already have, but black. I use them as "steelies" because we run winter tires up here 4-5 months of the year, and I keep my winter tires mounted. And these are 50 bucks apiece but then you have to spring for the center caps which are another 12 bucks each.

You can buy them on summitracing.com but why would you want to, your wheels are just fine.

In the summers I run American Racing Victor teflons. They are nice but I think a stock 265 tire would look skinny on them. You need a 285 tire. Plus the Victors were about $200 apiece, plus then you have to buy tires.

Stick with what you have got, until your budget allows you to go bigger and better, would be my advice.

This oughta make you hurl then. But it makes me feel secure - if I get a flat I have 4 spares!

Those wheels look a lot better than the stock ones. They have a little bit of a lip on them, and don't look at all cheap like the stock ones do. The larger tires also help too.
