Default Non retarded wheels?

Where can I find wheels that don't have fake *** bead lock bolts or any other **** on the rim edge? Also I'm not into the "look at me I'm gay" way outside the fender look

Here are two I've found

You mean you don't want that 20x12 look with dank *** 8in of lip with low profile mud tires on a truck that never see's the dirt??



It's hard to find rims for 8 lugs because there are only a handful of people that make them. Everyone runs ugly XD wheels with those fake rivets and crap, makes them look cheap. Black is terrible color too, makes them look even smaller.

Mickey thompson has a one wheel design with a flat faced lip like you are looking at.

I'm kinda liking chrome again. I'd even go as far as to get either one of these

I'd weld up the lil holes and take them to my machine shop to be cnc'd smooth


This kinda almost if you are drunk and squint really hard looks like a two piece wheel. Undecided if I'd weld up those too

I went with 20" replicas... It was damn near impossible to find anything that wasn't way to busy or way over priced. I never got around to doing 2" spacers in the rear and I also like a little bit of lip on 4x4s but for the price I was happy. This was leveled with 275/60s.

I picked up replica wheels with the correct pattern for the older trucks. You can get them painted like mine, polished, and black. Better than adapters in my opinion and the offset was great up front. Could have used 2" spacers for the rear but I sold it before I wrapped the project. Quality was good and I only had $700 or so in the set, the cheapest Fuel wheels I liked were almost double that.
