I can get these 2 piece billet wheels with tires for 1600 out the door, they are 20x8.5 for the fronts and 20x10 for the rears..[COLOR="Blue"][B] I always said I didn't wanna go billets or 20's+ but the price is very tempting

This is your answer...

**CC69Rat** · 10-23-2012, 08:20 AM

Yep -- I like them too. BUT, it's all what you really want for your truck. If they were $16.00 .. and you really didn't want to go that route (?) I'd say no ..

I think you want them though.

Honestly I'm up in the air about them, I'm taking into account that I have to drive down a crappy road to work and I know that billets are a pain to keep clean/spotless

I had seriously considered them too, I like them and for the money they'd be hard to beat.

Mothers has a good billet polish, just get you one of the power ball things and it won't take long to keep them shined up. It will take more work than say a truck rally or steelie.. but it's just the nature of running aluminum wheels I guess.

**CC69Rat** · 10-23-2012, 10:25 AM

just curious on the brand and size of tires they offered you in the package price?

big d's red67 · 10-23-2012, 10:26 AM

Hell yes, I paid $2500 for mine last december

they are hard to maintain for a daily driver but I think it is worth the extra effort for the looks dept.

67ctener · 12-08-2012, 05:55 PM

There cast not billet, they will still polish up nice though

Im going round and round with myself on the wheel question also. I think they look nice, and I love aluminum. But to answer your question, I would say no. For this reason...If you really wanted them, REALLY WANTED THEM, it wouldnt matter what anybody else thinks
