what do you guys think (new wheels)? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ive found an excellent deal on a set of new KMC SS 20"s only $1900 with new tires for my 72 shortbed.

i was looking to spend $1950 alone on a set of boyd coddington 20s, but for $1900 id rather get wheels and tires from kmc.

they are chrome, i prefer billet but at least i wont have to do any polishing with these.

what do you guys think?

I likes! Those would look sweet. I agree, I would buy knock offs too, who needs to pay an extra $200 a rim for a name badge.

Get Boyd's wheels. These are nice, but not what you really want. I lived long enough and spent enough to know that you do it right the first time. It may cost you more, but you will be happier. I don't know what the BC wheels look like you picked out, but I don't care for these as much as some others I have seen in that range. All personal preference, but you asked! Good Luck.

I personaly like the look of the KMC Stealths, shame they only come in 8.5 wide though. I priced, and shopped around for 20"s for along time and found the Stealths for close to $2500.00 tires and wheels! But in a way having the same size tires and wheels would be better for rotation.
