I would also have to say something resembling the FM5, with 6 negative offset curved spokes for a deep dish look on a non-stepped lip. I really like simplistic, non-intricate styles for polished wheels. My favorite wheel right now is the Boze Velocity


Or maybe something like the Flyte with 6-spokes.

Great choice, probably my all time favorite wheel ever is FM5.
Some nice stuff from Forgeline, HRE, & CCW too. Highend for sure.


I've got some others I like too, on trucks near the top, if not my fav truck design are the Centerline Stingray III Tomahawks as Cody said below. They really need to keep makin them. Jerks.

Boyds

Eagles


The fiskes are a really good looking wheel I just dont think they would look that great on a truck, it would have to a slammed truck to really pull them off. The wheel I really miss is the original stingray III design

I also really like the centerline rapids, just not the rivets but most likely these are the wheels that will end up on my truck with some 33" mud terrains.


You thought of rivetless- Rapids too?!? I'll probably see if Rapids could be done that way when I'm ready (no rivets), did I tell u that or what? Cause I sure don't wanna clean all them ball mill spots.

But mine won't be on mudders.

But if they come out w/. the Centerline III Tomahawk style again, ya right, I'd but em in a heartbeat.

I also love many Budnik designs, even if they cost more. I'm learning toward a few of their designs.

Those are similiar & they look good too. Odd, most of the 1st few replies are wheels I like too. Usually people show somethin I'd never buy. That's the beauty of choice tho.

TQ thrust D's, 5 spoke with 6 lug in the neighborhood of a 20.

I hate the TQ thrust 6 spoke 6 lug wheels.

i loved the fikse fm5's i had them on my 02 ss camaro in 17x9.5 and 17x11 your going to pay money for a multi piece wheel reguardless though . a one piece forged wheel seems to be the lightest since there is no hardward to add weight.

i saw a truck at the track this weekend that said he was getting intro's possibly blanks and making his own style that coule bolt to it . kinf of weird but here is what his dmax had on it




now me personally , i have too many wheels i like just cant justify spending 5k on them .

iforge
bonspeed
hre

these were discontinued before i could do anything but i like these alot



i also like big dave's wheels Prowheels line similar to a zo6 wheel.
ill have a new set on my whip as soon as someone decides to give me a set

I think this... KIS (keep it simple) 5 spoke, powder coated, and very easy to keep clean. No exterior rivets.. that's just BS. This is where the less is more theory comes into play. My wheels ARE NOT in this category.

Pretty much have the wheels I would design... IMO GM nailed it with the TBSS wheel design, clean and simple. I find that too many times wheel companies make the design overly complicated.
