give me some opinoins. theyre on sale for 64 bucks a piece and im wondering what to do. i want factory size 16's so i can keep my tires. thyre american racing wheels "tailgunners"


photoshop anyone??

 

No, They look like boat trailer rims.

 

Holy cr@p, it's like dejavu' all over again!

I think they would look good on a your truck ....... or mine if you're paying for them. How wide are they?

 

theyre stock size 16x8. I just paid 590 bucks for 80,000 mile Michelins and i dont want to buy more tires!

 

Lol,

This thread is Dejavu!


Seriously, they look like they're worth what they cost. You can do alot better for not much more money and use your same tires.

 

well i dont want to spend an arm and a leg for wheels. Do you have any suggestions as to which ones to get? that arent too pricey?

 

I was considering those wheels too. I'm undecided at this point, but I'm putting up with the stock steel wheels with the plastic chrome wheel covers on them, so what do I know!!

I do know I want chrome. But the price for chromed alloy wheels are nuts! I've also considered the Eagle Alloys Series 58 wheels. "Only" $119 each for 16x8, but they are pollished, which is fine, but just requires more rubbing to keep 'em clean.......

 

Im with Mitch!

Those series 58s sound good.
I would rather keep the stockers than put on cheap wheels.

I think you will have more problems with the cheapies too, ~early pitting, high speed wobble, etc.

 

Whatever rims you pick don't get ones with lots of pesky rivets or a tight honeycomb spoke pattern... they are bastards to keep clean. Looks for smooth edges & stuff.

 

Sorry dude! trailer wheels.

 

well im thinking of prices here but i think that i will end up putting these on. Theyre good enough for me although those eagle wheels are pretty good lookin!

 

I forgot to mention I bought those Titanium brake pads for my 98' 4x4 about 15k miles ago and they work great, hardly any dust, and they're cheap to boot from www.JCWhitney.com;)

 

I think they look alright. Hey, if it's what you want or can afford and you like em...Well that's all that matters IMHO.

 

I agree with 'to each his own' but Im speaking from the experience of having bought cheap wheels in the past. This is more a case of 'you get what you pay for'. I just dont want a brotha to waste his money if they look like crap in 6 months or have a high speed wobble...

 

I hear ya. It sounded like he was set anyway.

Take care,
