Alright so now my trucks lowered its time for wheels! My rallies look tough in all but I just want something cooler I guess. So please post lowered square bodies with aftermarket wheels!

I could post pictures all day, are you wanting to see stuff thats within a budget or just anything in general? I can show you pics of c10s with 5000$ wheels, and I can show you c10s with 700-1000$ wheels.

Are you looking for any certain size in particular?

Honestly, I would think about a nice staggered wheel seeing how your truck is a long bed. Like a 20/22 combo.

How about a pic of what you have now?

Does this company still make these wheels or are they rare now?

79gmcclassic · 09-09-2012, 08:38 PM

Wheels under $1000 please! And those progressives look good!

Not the best pic, but it's tough to go wrong with a set of slots.

Usually I hate hate hate slots on other cars, but they do look very nice on these trucks for some reason.

Ok cool! Those wheels look awesome man!!!

Does anyone know if I were to run a 15X8 in the front and and 15X9 in the rear what backspacing would be optimal?
Example of some US Mags wheels specs I found:
Front - 15x8 Backspacing = 4.50" Bore = 78.1
Rear - 15x9 Backsacing = 5.00" Bore = 78.1

With a 5 inch drop in front and 6 in rear?
