Has anyone powdercoated them or done anything to make them look more sporty? Also, any good tires for a stock 16" rim? Maybe a more agressive tread. Im looking at the Toyos or the General grabber UHPs like blackgmc has.

I'm also thinking about grabbing some stock 17" wheels off the 04+ trucks.


BTW, the reason I'm wanting to stick with stock wheels is the weight/handling issue. I don't wanna lose power just to have larger wheels.

post up pics and stuff, I've gotta go to work, but I'll check back later.

 

i like my 275/60/16 toyos..
powder coated black would look pretty good i think..

 

i would try to find some stock chevy 17", with come grabbers!!! I really like my grabbers, can't speak for toyos, but I was cutting decent 60"s at the track with the grabbers....

 

my buddy had UHPs on his dodge and they didnt last long. and they didnt have the size i was lookin for. His truck would barely spin them on wet asphalt..

Thats why i went with the Toyos..
I dont even try to run mine at the track without DRs or Slicks...
I tried to spray the 50 shot one time and i spun all the way down the 500' track. Hey, it looked cool.

 

While I haven't tried them in a 17" yet. I plan on getting Hankook Ventus's in a 285/60/17 to put on my stockers. They GRIP EXCELLENT in a 275/25/20 wet or dry. Hell, even on dirt.

Powder coated black would be cool. I'ma see how mine look on it being chrome and go from there.

 

Do them PINK. That would be HOT(gay), its the new black hahaha

stock '04+ 17" alloys are about 22-23 lbs each I believe, so that would be a good choice, I love mine and they are about the best looking factory 17" wheel out there, and they're cheap. Those with some 275/60 17 grabber uhp's and you're set

 

Just weighed mine and it was 33lbs

 

Dude sometimes I dont know about you.

 

X 2

I went thru 2 sets of these...
they look good to me and I got really good wear out of them as well...
