New 20's for $159 each - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sighlurr · 02-27-2007, 01:12 PM

It's not everyday you see brand new 20's for $159 each. I've seen these smoothies popping up on the Photoshop forum, and they're affordable right now. Centerline has these listed as "overstocked" right now, just wanted to pass it on.

For some reason I like the solid billets, either the way they are or with powdercoated centers, doesn't matter. It does seem like a good deal.

cdowns · 02-27-2007, 06:39 PM

ever think people think those wheels are just butt ugly and thats why they're closing em out ???

724x4a/cchevy · 02-27-2007, 06:40 PM

even the archer II (twisted vista looking) wheels are 159 each. not bad at all.

Pl4yboy · 02-27-2007, 07:04 PM

I'm not a fan of the solid ones, but I'm putting 22s on anyway so I guess I'm SOL on this deal.

I'm sure some people do, he's just trying to be helpful and pass along some info.

*72CSTC5* · 02-27-2007, 09:14 PM

Powdercoat the centers and they look like stock ralleys in big form.

sighlurr · 02-27-2007, 09:17 PM

That's what I was thinking. But not for everyone.

boraxman · 02-27-2007, 09:24 PM

I actually bought a set of the Archer 2's and posted about these deals a couple weeks ago

159 ea. and I can pick them up, course they are back ordered, 2 more weeks

sighlurr · 02-27-2007, 09:25 PM

Overstocked and back-ordered at the same time.

Oh well.

**special-K** · 02-27-2007, 09:29 PM

They remind me of the dune-runner wheels that were the first lightweight option for sandrails.
I must have bad taste,I like them.How are they worse than Super Tricks w/o the BS rivets that render them impossible to keep clean in the long run.

Ya go figure

The said there was a run on them and they sold 400 sets in a week. So they are making more.

BigSky71 · 02-27-2007, 09:50 PM

Well if they are willing to make more at the low sale price, maybe we are getting hosed on the ones we pay 3-4-5 bills for...

dirtball · 02-28-2007, 12:17 AM

I think I have bad taste too. I like 'em, I think they look good on some cars/trucks. Can't beat that price either.

**special-K** · 02-28-2007, 07:27 AM

Maybe they`re just starting to sell wheels for what they`re worth instead of all they can get.Wheel prices went crazy a while back and I`d think with all the set-up costs for such a variety of styles that they`d want to sell more for less and make more money in the end.Some wheel sets cost more than a fine performance motor.That`s fine for rich folk.But,I look around and see most people don`t have such expendable cash.Personally,given the choice,fancy shmancy wheels or a hot runnin`mill,I`d have to go with the "GO" and comprimise on the "roll".

ortegamotor · 02-28-2007, 11:36 AM

i picked up as set 18/20 for my rusty runner build last summer when they first came out and i paid $120 a wheel .i thought they where crazy for selling them that cheap.you can't go wrong on that deal, and they are a perfect if you want to customize them to suite .Tony

69face · 02-28-2007, 06:02 PM

definitely caught my attention. those are my favorite wheels next to the american racing torque thrust II. i just ordered (3 weeks and i can pick them up) a set for my 63 riviera and a set for my little brothers truck. Two sets of wheels for less than i paid for my last set. I guess it's the California in me that likes the california smoothie and the America in me at loves the TTII's.

Okay, you need to share, where did you get these for $159 bucks and do they come in different widths?

20x8.5 5.4BS www.centerlinewheels.com Go to "buy online" select vehicle drop down,pre '99 Chevy/GMC 2WD trucks 5 lug, and look at the overstocks, first 5 are 20's. Out of state(Ca.) no tax, reasonable shipping rates...good luck!

Im still wondering if I should have gone for the Voltage instead....

Trey` · 02-28-2007, 09:03 PM

Man that tire is 32.4" tall, how much of drop [lift?] do you intend to run?

Trey` · 03-01-2007, 11:05 PM

Someday it will be laid out after I finish the '00 but for now a 4-6 and yes they were $189 a piece on "close out" I know it is not practical but what the hell oughta fill up th fender wells and I will probably end up putting them on a '07 new truck eventually when my wife graduates they are 6 lugs.
