Give me your thought about these wheels

The wheels installed - more photos in thread:



Edit: ---------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, I'm having issues finding wheels that I like and that fit well at the same time. I've seen these installed on two 4x4's and they looked good. they are 17"x 8", 4.5" backspace, & 0" offset making them stick out about 1.6" from stock steel wheels. I'm looking for y'alls opinion on the stick out factor on a 4x2 with a small (1.5") lift? I really like these wheels, but the offset is about 0.5" more then I'd like.

I know, we all have different taste & opinions, but tell me what you think! Would the truck look goofy or worse yet, change the driving Characteristics too much. Thanks for your time.

I've been thinking about putting these on my truck also. I am trying to decide between these and rickson 19.5s. Post pics if you get them put on. I'd love to see them. The only vehicle I've seen them on was a lifted tahoe and they looked good on it. I just hate to get rid of my factory forged aluminum wheels.

Yuck. I can't stand black wheels to begin with but I've seen those on numerous vehicles around here and back home and they just don't look right.

I like black wheels and those look nice. with 1.6" more rim outon each side with wider tires say a 315....you'll be as wide as my dually on both ends. ks

I like em. And my front wheels are black.......reminds me I need to drive through a big puddle or just go wash my truck! However, I noticed the black wheel thing is getting alittle played out. Especially the dark wheel polished lip on the little cars.

When driving in downtown San Antonio I don't want people knocking on my winding looking for "Crack". Hopefully that wont be the look.

I like the wheels, but I don't like the look of tires sticking outside of the fenderwells personally.

Had blackout rims on a white lifted Isuzu Rodeo 4x4, I liked the look... I think black on black and black on white look the best for that type of rim...

dude... 1.5" less backspacing isnt alot... come on. That wheel will look just fine with alittle lift up front. the trac width of a 2x4 isnt any different from a 4x4 so no big deal. And it wont look "ricer" or "druggy" ***?

and saying it will look like a dually on both ends is just extreme.

I agree. I've got 4.5" of back spacing on my 10" wide wheels and it's no where close to a dually in width.

Your wheels are cool! Looks WAY better than these skinnies & this new look of swords,daggers,sickles,spinners, & knife blades.

No offense to anyone, I'm just kinda "Old School"
