I\'ve been told my K5 looks like a Escalade....what 8 lug wheels??

I'm doin'a 8 lug conversion on my Black K5...
and I need to decide what wheels to go with...

Since I've been told my truck looks like a Escalade... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
I'd like to give my truck more of a "off-road" look...

What wheels do You guys think I should get???

I agree with Greg on the SPinnaz. Some 26" chromies.... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

On a more serious note. I would go with some of the alum 5 star type ARE wheels. I like Alum on DD's..... Oh and some fodees... /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Looks like a rip off to me. I payed $40 for mine.

But do yours meet this spec?

"Designed for two or four wheel drive trucks with up to 44 in. diameter tires, this Bart Super Trucker Wheel is built with a strong 1/4 in. thick 950X steel center and .165 in. thick roll formed rim shell so it can handle off road abuse with ease."

Every cheap wheel that I've seen comes with a disclaimer stating that it is only intended for use with 33-inch or smaller tires. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif Most also have ridiculously small max weight ratings. I saw some 16x7 aluminum wheels recently that were embossed "Max Weight 1900 LBS". /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif That's absurdly low for a truck wheel. /forums/images/graemlins/angryfire.gif

Nope. I've never heard of a steel wheel failing though so I'm not too worried about it.

They're FWPW's cheap white wheels. The wouldn't sell me a 2nd set at $40 each though recently. I guess that was a great deal....I still remember the charge on my credit card, $170 to the door for four wheels and centercaps.

I think they have spokes, but I never really looked that closely. When they're painted black though you hardly see the wheel design anyway...just the fact that they're black is cool enough.

get yourself some eaton black steel wheels and a full exo cage... you'll never be mistaken for an esca-whatever again. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Get Rock Crawler rims. They come in 8 lug, black, and whatever size you want, and backspacing....

BTW, you look nothing like an Esca-gayde. Those things are ugly as heck, My moms neighbor has one, and it's beyond bling.
