I vote #2, but Eagle brand instead of center line to cut the costs a bit.

I say go with the Center Line Wilderness Scout. Centerline whells will hold a shine 10 times longer than Eagle.

Another option would be a set of late model GM wheels. These are for sale here-Look inside

The ralleys do look great. Hopefully, they come in 8-lug. As for the three you posted, I think you need to do less narrowing and more broadening.
![]() One day I hope to uprade to Weld Racing, bling bling, forged aluminum wheels. The Weld Sidewinder rim is an exception to my aversion to slots since it is a cross between spokes and slots. I found a good site listing all (AFAIK) the Weld truck rims on one page for a good comparison: Street Dreams. Otherwise, you can't go wrong 1, 2. or 3.

Wow, thanks everyone for all the responses. I appreciate them.
Well, the overwhelming opinion seems to be for the Center Line Scouts. They are almost twice as much as the others, but they are forged as opposed to cast, and as has been pointed out, the shine will likely hold longer. I also like them because they are a 10 hole design, not 8 like the Eagles and every other manufacturers. I narrowed it down to those three choices because I wanted to keep it sort of classic looking. I love the look of many Weld wheels and late model GM wheels, but I think they look best on newer trucks. Right now I have white wagon wheels, and those are pretty old-school looking. But also cheap, heavy, and 16.5" size, which is a PITA for getting affordable tires. Hopefully new aluminum wheels will be lighter than the steel wheels I have now, and the new tires will definitely be an improvement over my 27 year old Michelin's, which have pretty much hardened to the consistancy of granite. Thanks again, all. |

ANY aluminum wheel will be much lighter than those old back-breaker steel wagon wheels. All 3 wheels are nice, but it's your $$ so buy what you think looks good. No matter what you buy, there will always be someone who likes/hates what you have done. Happy purchasing.
