Wanted to get yalls opinions on some wheels really quick. I am looking at getting a set of wheels really soon, and I have a couple of choices:

Centerline Stingray III's (weight approx 25 lbs)



Centerline Escape (approx 26 lbs each)


Or just leave them stock. (about 48 lbs each)



Money isn't a big concern because I can get a heck of a deal on these. I am trying to decide between these two because they both weigh a decent amount less than even the Lexi III's(36lbs each) which are on the Chevy High Performance Blown SS truck(if you don't know he gained over .1 sec in the 1/4 from those wheels alone, and these would be lighter than that). I am going to go and order these in a couple of hours, and I still can't decide. I like the look of the escapes a little bit more, but I think that they would be a bitch to clean. Let me know what yall think

personally, I would get the escape. I dont think you could go wrong with either though. Centerline has a pic of the escapes on an SS on their website to.

 

I personally would go with the SIII's. I'm assuming that you're going to keep your stock tires?

 

Stock tires will be kept on for a while longer. I am just looking for a way to decrease the rotating mass, and maybe get a little bling at the same time.

I found a couple of pics of wheels on trucks.

Please let me know what you guys think! Decisions like this drive me nuts!

I like the Stingrays. I have the Lexi IV's on my truck and they are very heavy. I pick up 3 tenths by switching to my Escalade wheels with 275/55/17's compared to the Lexi's with 285/50/20's.

 

Are you sellin the ss wheels?

 

I like the Escapes better on the SS as they look al little 'meatier' that the Singray3's. The one in Centerline's gallery looked good.IMO

 

I agree.

 

Well, I just got back from the wheel shop, and it looks like I won't be able to get as good of a deal on the escapes as I will be able to on the stingrays so there is a good chance that I will be going that route. They will also be a lot easier to clean, although I do agree the escapes look good when they are clean.

And Slowec, I will probably be selling the ss wheels(no tires) if this all goes through within the next couple of weeks.
