Title pretty much says it all.

I've been looking around at some 17" wheels and to tell you the truth I just don't see much that will fit our trucks that I like. Boyds has a few that are decent but, I know there are probably some manufacturers I'm not thinking of so if you have a link or pic post it up please.

Most of the wheels are just too fancy for me. I like the drag wheel look(Convo Pro like). <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I need them in 17*8 amd 17*10.

Thanks

John

PS - Anyone ever run the Nitto 404 Truck/Suv tires?

 

I run 17x8 Elite wheels. I got them with 275x55x17 general grabbers out the door for $1600. Not sure if they make a 17x10 though. They are in no way bling bling, but they look better than the stockers, and they help with traction cause they are pretty freakin heavy. I'm gonna be running the Nitto 450 255x50x17 up front with 275x50x17 out back sometime in the next month. I personally like the Nitto 450 better than the 404's, but thats based just on looks, never had Nittos before. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

 

Hey BigJ

What Elite wheels do you have? I've looked and can't find the ones that are on your website. I want to see a close up pic of them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

The 450's definately look better but the 404's come in 305/60/17 for the rear and 275/65/17 for the fronts. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I got 17x9.5 Boyd Coddington Genensis 6 with Bridgestone Dueler HP 275/55/17. they look pretty good, i'm borrowing a digital camera this week, i'll try to get you some pics if you want some.

 

The Genesis 6 are one of the Boyds I like. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> Please get some pics.

Thanks <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

BigJ - I don't even want to know how you got wheels and don't know the name of them. There might be some theft division cops monitoring this forum and we wouldn't want you to get in trouble. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> If you find those pics just email'm to me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

DoverJ1W - I'll try to check those out a little later. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Hmmmm...found some wheels from <img border="0" alt="[bullshit]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bs.gif" /> (Billet Specialties) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> that are kinda nice. I need to snap a pic of my truck from the side so I can do some photochopping. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> They are not real exspensive and are totally customizable as far as backspacing is concerned.

Where did you find the billet's for a good price at? Everywhere i've found is kinda high priced. What series do you like? I kinda like the hustler 6, and the twisted talladega 6's.... They would look <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" /> on your ride.

 

I haven't really looked for prices yet. I just looked on their website at what the prices are. They are RELATIVELY <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> cheap compared to some other custom wheel makers.(Colorado Customs <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> )

I kinda like the gtx71's

<img src="http://www.billetspecialties.com/assets/250/gtx71.jpg" alt=" - " />

The hp36's are nice also

<img src="http://www.billetspecialties.com/assets/250/hp36.jpg" alt=" - " />

If some of the links don't work just check the properties box and paste the url in your browser. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Are those <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" /> enough for ya POPE? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
