I'm looking to put a set of wheels on the truck since the stock ones look like total crap. I also wouldn't mind killing a little gearing. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> All of the ones I've found so far look AWFUL. I'm willing to spend a few bucks, but they need to look better than what I have! Has anyone seen a NICE-LOOKING set of 8-lug wheels? I'd prefer 17x8's.

boyd coddington has some nice 8 lug wheels

 

I like a couple of the styles that Weld has.

Here's some pics for examples:

ps. If you want to give your stock wheels away, let me know. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

I like these too, since they are alot cheaper than Welds.

Well, I ended up buying a set of 16's that look identical to the American Racing Baja wheel. I went with a 265/75/16 Goodyear to kill some gearing and fill the wheel well. I'm just having to get used to being so damn high off of the ground! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> The truck looks GOOD, and I couldn't beat the sale on the wheels for $95 each! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Trying to get a set of 17's was going to be quite a bit more expensive than just getting 16's, and my wheel selection was limited more than with 16's. I hope to have my HPP3 tomorrow to correct the speedo. It's ~4 MPH off right now, and I should've dropped my highway cruising RPM's by 150 RPM or so. My effective gear ratio is right around 3.84:1 or so, so that will help some, too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I'll get some pics up if it ever clears up. There is mud ALL OVER it right now. I forgot how bad Lubbock's drainage system is when it rains! The great thing is that I could drive through massive puddles of water with no problems. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Take pics now! I'm tired of seeing clean trucks. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

ps. Whatcha doin in L-town?

 

I really should've snapped a picture of it before I rinsed it off today. It definitely looked like I had been off-roading! There was mud everywhere. I'm in Lubbock taking care of a little business. Jason and I are starting a new business endeavor, so we're meeting with a bunch of different people right now to get it going. I'm also getting the trans on the SS rebuilt in time for the Southern Shootout. The 2-3 shift has gotten VERY slow, so we're going back in with a set of Alto clutches, Kolene steels, and kevlar band. If it can last another 10k once the heads are on I'll be happy. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

 

i went with a 285 trevor on my 2500 hd but mine was a 4x4 these are some great trucks but dam the gas millage sucks
