Weld makes a draglite looking wheel that is kinda tough looking.

My favorite are the Timeless 6. I almost got them, but I got a smokin deal on my Centerlines. Tony has those, but they are on big tires.

Yeah, I like the Timeless 6 also. I saw them chromed and was like. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[bomb]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bomb.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

I'm not really into appearance mods but, a midnight blue paint job with some very subtle ghost flames and chromed Timeless 6's would be OK with me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Tony - You didn't happen to weigh those wheels did ya?

I don't have any pics(search net for Eagle Alloys), but I have Eagle Alloys series 213 17"x8"(Six spoke plain). They were cheap and light($180/24pounds each). I also planed to go big in the back with Nittos, but the 9.5" wide were on backorder with no date. I got BF Goodrich Longtrail TA's for $85 each in 275/60-R17.

Timeless Six were my favorite too, thats why I couldn't pass up the deal on them. I didn't get to weigh them because they already had the 33s mounted on them. I get a TON of compliments on the truck now, this lift and wheels completely changed its look. 18s on a lifted truck are very rare.

BTW, I still have my 17x8 wheels/tires for sale CHEAP. $725. http://users.ev1.net/~ynot_dv8/GMC/GMCside2.jpg

I really like a lot of different wheels. The first couple that XLR8NSS posted are sweet. The ones I have wouldn't have been my first choice, but I got a smokin deal and couldn't pass em up. Chrome is so much easier to clean. Have Michelin Cross Terrain 265x70x17s on them.

Sportmetal Axiom 17x8s

Also, check out Centerline wheels. I think they are forged aluminum, reasonably priced, and pretty light from what I have read. Their add in Street Trucks says there 20's weigh 20 pounds each.

Tony - Those look damn good. Are they chrome or just polished. I'd have to get mine chromed. I have had polished rims before and they're just too hard to keep nice looking.(for me anyway <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> ) That's a good price on those other wheels <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> but, I don't like the way the spokes taper down towards the outside. The Genesis 6 do that and I think I'll take them off my list.

Scream - Thanks. If I decide on a set of Boyds I'll give him a call.

Kent - I'm scared to ask how much those Yuma's cost. I actually saved a picture of them to my computer while I was looking at wheels last night but, when I saw the price I hit delete. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

I looked at some Centerlines. Here is one that I liked. Even though the back part of the spoke tapers the heaviest main part is one width. I kinda like that. They don't come in 17*10 though and later on down the road I want a tire that will require at least a 10" wide rim so I have to consider that.

Whatever I get I'll probably have it chromed because like BigTex said it's sooooooooooo much easier to clean. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
