Inexpensive 20" wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

pockets · 03-16-2011, 11:25 AM

So I really like those Boss 338s, but I've read enough threads to know they aren't a simple bolt on (yet). Is anyone else running a 20" that is comparable in price to the boss 338?

So far the only thing I can find in the low 200 range are wheels that might look good on a 4x4 or something like that.

Coyswheel.com Look at the c5. They went down in price lately

I see 275 and 325 for 8.5/10 inch. not too bad. I take it these fit with none of the problems that the boss' do on the big rotors?

*Stitch* · 03-16-2011, 12:38 PM

The only problem you'll have with the heavy duty rotors is the front center caps don't want to fit because the rotors stick about an 1/8" out of the wheel in the center where the wheel bearings are at. You can do like I did and just knock the edge of the hub off with a grinder. I might be able to post pics when I get home tonight.

Also there are Eagle 225s. They are the same price or less than the Coys. They are polished. You can look at menace's build thread. Those are the wheels he has.

Actually they only have two BS numbers for 20x8.5 (5.25" BS) and 20x10 (5.5" BS) wheels in the 5x5 pattern.

Coys has a better selection of backspacing.

Not many dealers it looks like, but they are priced pretty good

I saw a set of Rev wheels today at the Run to the Sun car show. I priced a set of 20x8 and 20x9.5 chrome for $1k. They looked great to me. Has anyone used them yet? I think my dad is going to order a set for his 85. What do you think? Anybody?

jmking9 · 03-21-2012, 07:10 PM

I have a set of the REV classic 100s in the 20x8/20x9.5 with the gray centers. I ordered tires today so as soon as they're on I will let you know how the fit. I bolted them on without tires and the fronts fit with no problems. Now if the front rubs in a hard turn remains to be seen. They are a great looking wheel that even comes with American Racing center caps. I got mine shipped for right under $800 here is a link to my original thread that has a couple of pics http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=462545

muthstryker · 03-21-2012, 07:17 PM

The REV 100s are licensed by American Racing. They are identical to the Torq thrust 2s.

jmking9 · 03-29-2012, 12:18 AM

They are licenced by American Racing but they are not identicle. The lip is different. TT2's have a stepped lip and the revs have a smooth lip.(I have a set of both) but other than that they are very close.

silvereagle07 · 03-29-2012, 07:47 PM

I saw a set of REV 100's on a square body at a recent car show and they looked really good. jmking9 do you have them mounted with tires yet or have any more pics?

canadian trucker · 03-29-2012, 08:04 PM

Does anybody have a picture of them on a mid 80's squarebody?

hotrod_991 · 03-30-2012, 11:16 AM

i was quoted $900 shipped for 18x8 and 20x10 from showster wheels. Is that a good deal for the C-5 style wheels? They are called streetsters.

85crewcab · 03-30-2012, 11:13 PM

I found these, this is the wheel I'm putting on my crew cab...http://www.wheelsforless.com/detail.aspx?ID=9392

Let me know if you still are looking for wheels and if I can help you out. The backspacing on these 20" wheels are right on for the C10's and no additional work to make them fit.

85crewcab · 03-31-2012, 05:43 PM

How much is shipping?

Just PM your zip, and I will get you a price. I just charge what FedEx or UPS charges (whichever is cheaper).

Nice deal on the wheels! You mentioned perfect backspacing. What are the backspacing for the 20" wheels? (20x8.5 & 20x10)

Pro Performance · 04-02-2012, 02:11 AM

The rears have a 5.5" backspace, and the fronts are 5.25".
