looking for new wheels

[cwcad]

Have been searching for wheels on the internet. have not seen what I want. More honestly I do not know what I want. What I found is mostly names of wheels that I cannot pronounce. It has been a long time since I was interested in wheels. The fact is I only know one name and that is Cragar. All I have found of these are sizes that don"t fit my truck.

If you have not seen my truck here is a picture.

If any one has a site or any ideas for a good looking wheel for my black shadow please feel free to post an opinion.

I had the same problem when looking for wheels for my silverado. I went with 22x9.5 with 305/45 rubber Eagle Alloy Chrome 109's. A quality wheel made in america

www.discountedwheelwarehouse.com

I paid just under $2100 for wheels/tires.

They also have it set up so you can see the wheels on your truck, you can even change the color to get a better feel of what it will look like

Went out yesterday to look at wheels in the stores around Harker Heights. What an eye opening experience. Have never purchase a wheel before. Always have used the wheels that came with the vehicle.

I learned yesterday that all the wheels that I had considered to purchase were of an over size type wheel. The tires then would be outside my wheel wells. that means that the wheels will be spraying all kinds of things on to the paint after I spent all the time to get the paint to look great.


There is no way I am buying any over sized tires that will scratch up the paint as I travel down the road. Spraying water, rocks, and what ever is on the tires back onto the side of the truck. Guess what I have will have to do.

You just need the right back spacing.
