Default New wheel pics.

Got them on yesterday. Stingray III with 285/50/20's. I think I will pull the blocks out of the back to even it out, and just leave it like that.

Yeah, well what can I say, I like them. I guess all these GM trucks are typical too.

While I was at the tire place yeaterday they had some MB motoring wheels that had a machined finish with the inlays painted almost the exact color of my truck. They had them mounted with the same size tires and all. I tried one on my truck and they looked good, but I think I like these better. It was a tough choice though.

I think I know the wheels you're talking about and say that you picked the better choice. I've got some 16" MB chromes on my 00' Z and with the Bridgestones, they are freakin' heavy! I put my Boyd's on my 02' and actually picked up some gas mileage! Went from 14.7 to 16.2 mpg, not bad for forged billets.

BTW- the stock 17" wheels and tires weighed 64lbs.

Looks very nice man, the Stingray IIIs are my favorite wheels for these trucks. I like my MB Motoring Precise 18s, but I would rather have some Stingray IIIs in the 20s.
