Custom 17" Wheels......
I have been looking for custom Wheels for my truck. I have the ORP 17" on there now and am looking to replace them with the same size (except for the width). I have the tires picked out but can anyone give suggestions on a good looking wheel?? Price is not really an issue.......Anyone have bad experiences with a specific brand? CenterLines look good, anyone have comments??

JohnB,
Nice truck you've got there. To respond to your question re: custom wheels, that's tough. There are as many individual tastes as there are wheel designs. Check out the mfr's web sites. American racing has a bunch. (I kinda biased, I have some on my rig). Also hit some custom truck shops in your area to an idea. Here in So. Cal. there is a shop called Trader's Trucks. They have 60+ styles from different mfrs. on display. It really helped me chose.
Good luck!

I have Centerline Prowlers on my 99 ORP SC. I really like them and I get alot of good comments about them. Put the blackwall on the outside and hide the raised white letters of your tires. If you live in a cold weather climate take them off and store them before the snow flys. Road salt and Centerlines do not mix! I use Extreem wheel polish which works perfect, however it is labor intensive.
