8 lug wheel upgrade??
Trying to find a decent 8 lug wheel with more appeal than the heavy duty Alcoa steel shoes, nothing fancy but just a different look, maybe even bigger wheel size, kinda hard having 8 lug pattern......Thought about going with some white lettering tires but that requires keeping wheels clean being a work truck. Seen alot of newer model chrome stock sets off newer model gm 2500's put on the old schools. Looks alright out on the street.

Polish those.
Forged aluminium looks great polished

I like the PYO's and I used mag wheel nuts on mine. Also H2 rims look good to me, and are a direst bolt on. Plus they are 17's which is the standard right now.

H2 rims fit and don't look that bad.

Personally I love those wheels you have already. Polish them up, and they will shine a whole new light on how you look at your truck.
