I put a basic aftermarket set of wheels on mine. I went to the tire shop locally and ordered the "narrow shank?". They go one with the special lug tool. I had no issue with these. I had the basic open style acorns prior to that and they worked well too. You can run a spacer to bring out the rear if you'd like. I haven't yet but will in the future when I find the set one wheels I like. I also bought a basic center cap from the tire shop as well. I went with the large one on the front and back so it looked the same.[IMG]IMG_20110721_103629[/IMG]
