Question Opinions needed please

How would this wheel look on my truck? It's an American Racing Diamond Back 16x8 wheel. It's a one-piece diamond cut alloy with clearcoat. $150 bucks per wheel.




Any opinions?

I have a ACME Truck Parts catalog that has American Racing wheels in it. Here's another style called the Diamond Lock wheel. Same wheel, only it has bead locks. They're $165 per wheel. Which one of the two do you guys think look the best?

Personally I like the beadlock look. Have you looked at Pro Comps Xtreme Alloys..It's style no.... 1079 here it is....and you can buy a set of these for about $420....

Not a bad looking wheel. Check out prices on Ebay for any wheel before you buy a set. I got my complete set of ION Series 148s from www.tomzwheels.com for just under $500 compete and shipped. That included the lugs and the centers. Not a bad deal. Tomz advertises on Ebay and that's where I found them.

Pick a wheel you like though and something that you are happy with. If you think it looks good, then go with it!

Here's the wheel I got from Tomz :

Very nice.

I don't know if I want the diamond locks or the xtreme alloy's 1079's. I like them both. The diamond locks have a clearcoat that would make cleaning easy and no need for polishing. But on the other hand, those Xtreme alloys are very pleasing to the eye. I'll just have to save them in my pictures and stare at em' until I make up my mind. lol. Thanks for the help guys.

Nice wheels

I like your choice, I think they will look really good on your truck. You may end up with different tires to really set it off and make the combination stand out even more!

Thanks for the compliments 92vmax. I'm problably going to get some Bridgstone Revo's to add the finishing touch for that off-road look. I don't want to go all out and make it look overdone. I just want to spice it up a little.
