Looking for Light 18" wheel
 
I have a set of 22" which i would like to take off for the winter- I'm moving up to Massachusetts from Florida in February. I have oversized rotors so i cant fit my factory 17" so what i'm looking for is a set of 18" wheels that I can have AT tires on and use for winter but will also be lighter that my 22x10s so I can go out and rock my performance mods if I want to have some fun.

I have a 2005 GMC Sierra Denali- Black so some black painted/teflon coated wheels are prefered. Thanks.

the wheels from the yukon/tahoe hybrids are supposed to be lightweight forged wheels. they're pretty nice IMO.

Thanks for the info- I'll do some research, I don't recall seeing them before.

Well, I grew up in Northborough (outside Worcester),currently living in Fort Myers, Florida but I'm moving home to Mass in February.

Ohh, the new body style... I think the backspacing and lug pattern are different the my body style... 2005, but maybe I'm confused.

The backspacing may be a bit different but it will only make the truck look better as opposed to sticking out of the fender well. As far as the bolt pattern all 99-up trucks have a 6x5.5 lug pattern and the 88-98 4wds also had a 6x5.5 pattern.

If you're looking for super light weight rims then billet it the way to go. Centerline makes the cheapest billet rims, and then there's Intro,Bonspeed, Colorado Customs, Boyds, Welds, and others I'm forgetting. All of them put out great stuff but Centerline is in a much lower category in quality(their price is 1/3 of the others though).

If you are on a budget then just get some 18" titan rims. That's what I have and they weigh 64 lbs mounted on 255/55/18 tires.

LOL, but in regards to the subject, the 07+ NNBS(newest body style trucks) usually require a higher offset than the 99-07 trucks. That's a good thing if you ever decide to lower your truck and it will allow you to run larger tires if you would rather do that.

You are correct. I think they run more offset so the hub flange is closer to the outside of the wheel. Put a gmt900 wheel on a gmt800 truck and it tucks more. Put a gmt 800 wheel on a gmt900 and it sticks out a bit further
