lookin for new wheels

cwcad · 12-12-05, 04:54

Am interested in finding wheels for my truck. am looking for ideas, web sites, or pictures of a wheel that any one of you folks out there mite think would be good looking.

Any info or opinions would be appreciated.

Here is a picture of my truck. I like the chrome additon on the truck. Would be interested in a shiny black chrome wheel with silver accents. Have not had any luck seeing anything like that in my searches.

http://www.tirerack.com shows you all the wheels they carry that will fit your truck, and you can see the wheels on your truck (and in your color) before you buy them. I have bought 3 sets of tires and 1 set of wheels from them and I've been very satisfied with every purchase.

If you buy a set of wheels and tires from them, they will mount and balance them for free and include all necessary hardware for installation. They included 16 chrome lug nuts with my order, rather than forcing me to use the OEM lugs.

oem lugs on aftermarket wheels is a big no-no

If I could make a suggestion. Take off the chrome door handles, chrome seals around the fenders and the chrome on the lower half the truck. American Racing makes a black wheel that looks good.

Here is one for you

I came very close to getting black wheels with polished lip but opted for just polished instead:

Good Luck!

Thanks for all the responses. Have somewhere to go now..... with ideas!!!!

Never had any wheel other than what came with the vehicle. Will/am having fun just imagining the possiblities.

New wheels can and will completely change the look of the truck. I'm very happy that I decided to buy new wheels/tires for my car (although I won't have them on the car again for another several months

).

IMO, if you like the chrome accents, then get some chrome wheels. Black wheels wont match all that chrome. I might go with some chrome wheels with black accents. Or like Lo04Chevy said, take all the chrome off, then get black wheels.
These would look good IMO: American Racing Vintage Torq-Thrust ST (20") Chrome

Yeah I agree with Pontman. You've got a color scheme going, so you should stick with it. My car's color scheme is black/silver (black tint, black tires, black trim, black grille, silver paint, polished stainless exhaust, "chrome" badging). If I were to get red wheels or something, it just wouldn't look right.

Since you have the chrome trim, I'd also look at chrome wheels, or at least silver alloy wheels. Honestly, I've never been much of a fan of black wheels.
