Looking to upgrade the 16" OEM rims on my '99 GMC to aftermarket 18". I saw a pic of a truck recently that had 6-spoke rims that resemble the classic 5-spoke design from American Racing, but they're not American's. Anyone know who makes them? Looking for other style ideas as well that aren't too "modern" in design. Where to look? I'm old school and don't keep up with the latest and greatest of what's available, particularly in modern sized rims (ie - anything larger than 15").

 

can't go wrong with titan 18''

 

Boss makes some torque thrust looking wheels.

I have titans and Boyds, for different occasions.

Good deals are on craigslist all the time, you just have to be patient.

 

This is what Im going with soon.

Enkei ST6 (18 x 8.5, 6 x 139.7) 10mm Offset, Silver Machined, (1) Wheel/Rim : Amazon.com : Automotive

 

Thanks for the tips. So far I like the looks of all the designs mention, with the Enkei's being mu fav of them all so far.

Speaking of larger rims, what sort of brake rotor/caliper upgrades will fit with the 18" rim?

I like the look of the American Racing Torq Thrust AR104 and AR604, but it looks like they only offer a 20" version, not the 18".

 

Oh, and you guys who posted pics here, what size rubber do you have mounted in the pics?

 

my truck currently has 265/60-18s and that's what I plan to keep for now. Might try a 275/55-18 down the road.

As for brakes, my AR Maxim 18s just barely clear my 14" powerslot front brakes with stock calipers. These Enkei wheels seem to have more clearance than what I have now.

 

Boyds- 255/55/18 Nitto 420's
Titans- same up front, Nitto 305/45/18 rear.

Ill switch the nittos on the the boyds (which are on the truck now) once I start making enough power to need them.
