Help! I Need Wheels Bad!!!
I need a new set of wheels for the 6.0 Silverado and I need them SOON! I was kinda thinking of some wheels something similar to the Edelbrock 454 wheels. I dont see where they come in our bolt pattern but am just using them as a reference. I need ideas here fellas. Maybe chrome 'Vette Rallys, multi spoke wheels (more than 5 spoke) Any and all ideas and pics will be greatly appreciated. Also if you have some to sell post pics and prices please. Thanks fellas.

Re: Help! I Need Wheels Bad!!!
not the 454 style wheels man those scream ford mustang lol all thats missing is the knock of center caps heres an illustration of a truck with them doesnt look that good in my opinion http://www.sporttruck.com/featuredve...ard/index.html if your looking for vintage look i think these are sick http://www.americanracing.com/browse_vintage.asp (salt flat special chrome by the way) but if your looking for modern i think these would look sick http://www.asantiwheels.com/Wheel_Bu...finish/?wid=62 i just messed with a wheel not sure if youll see it the way i did but u can customize these probably a lot but heres a good example of someone who put luxury wheels on a truck http://truckin.automotive.com/92914/...ack/index.html ...and im not tryin to bust ur bubble man about the eddy wheels just giving my opinion i think ur truck is an inspiration and its sick hands down with the coys...idk if its ur avatar pic truck ur lookin to get wheels for...

Re: Help! I Need Wheels Bad!!!
Since you are going back with the stock front end I think a set of rallies would look really good on it.

Re: Help! I Need Wheels Bad!!!
What diameter wheels are you looking for ? retro look or modern? I assume you are not going to run the Coys.

Re: Help! I Need Wheels Bad!!!
If you decide on rally wheels I would say 17"...it's stock....with an attitude
Although I love the coys on there and REALLY think your truck is set off with chrome or polished 20" rims. Maybe 20" smoothies with a custom cap added to the inside?

Re: Help! I Need Wheels Bad!!!
I vote for stock rallys or 17" rallys or something like that. The truck will have the stock front end on it. It should have stock looking wheels with a twist.

Re: Help! I Need Wheels Bad!!!
I would like to see these type wheels on the truck. I like the color and I think it would look great with the black paint.

Re: Help! I Need Wheels Bad!!!
It totally needs a set of 17" Ansen Sprints. Slots are perfect for these trucks. They're cheap, too!

Re: Help! I Need Wheels Bad!!!
I need to find a pic of the 18" rallys on a truck. That sounds awesome.

Re: Help! I Need Wheels Bad!!!
Cool Wheels, the correct offset,... and soon,... don't ususally happen.
I vote for something from Billet Specialties. 20x8.5 and 20x10 with the correct backspacing. (4 to 6 week wait minimun)

Re: Help! I Need Wheels Bad!!!
Not really. My truck has been off the road since January. Soon to me is before the winter hits. I still have a few months before that happens here.

Re: Help! I Need Wheels Bad!!!

Re: Help! I Need Wheels Bad!!!
The "caliber" of truck you are building, deserves nice wheels.
They can make or break the truck. I like Billet Specialties the best. But Intro Wheels has some nice designs also.

Re: Help! I Need Wheels Bad!!!
Just get two set Josh. Corvette rallyes and some bling bling billets. Swap them when ever you feel like it. It will look great either way.
