Need Help With Selecting Chrome Wheels

[bulldog327]

Guys,

I just purchased some 39.5/18/15 Boggers for my K5. I have Dana 60 and 14 Bolt Axles. So I am looking for a 15x12 8 lug wheel with a 4" BackSpacing that is CHROME. I have only been able to find Procomp's 83 Series. Is there any other options for Chrome or polished wheels in the dimensions that i am looking for??? I really don't want Painted Wheels.

Thanks,
Brent

you sure you want chrome? chrome really peels and leaks like a bitch. and they dont make 15 inch aluminum wheels in 8 lug. you can however polish out the steel if you want.

chrome don't get you home....I've always liked that

Yeah, I dislike the looks of chrome steel wheels, so I avoid them anyway, but I still come across them for free regularly because they leak at the bead, and the chrome peels.

go chrome man I'm so sick of the "Murdered out " look

White wheels probably don't fit the "Murdered out" bit, do they?

nope there cool!! but they look bad when they rust worse than chrome IMHO

I feel you on the murdered out look. My K5 is black with black linex and with the tires being black i need some color seperation. I thought about getting painted wheels and having them powdercoated silver???

I think chrome would look sweeet!

here you go http://www.bart-wheel.com/supertrucker.htm, I have heard they are not the fastest people to deal with but I have also heard they make a very nice wheel

suprised nobody has suggested diamond racing

pretty much get whatever you want, and really reasonably priced. Im not sure if they offer a chrome wheel in and 8 lug but they sell other chrome wheels so it might be an option. but they do have silver

Nice. Procomp just quit making their chrome version. I just cant get a hold of anyone at Bart's.
