Opinions on US Wheel wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm going to call Summit tomorrow morning and order a set of US Wheel wheels for my truck. I'm going to get a set of four 16X8 wheels with a 6 on 5.5 lug pattern. I'm going to mount a set of Goodyear Wrangler 255/70 R16 tires (that I already have) on them. Before I do all this, however, I'm going to ask two questions.

First, if you click on the link above, which style wheel do you like better, the Modular 90 or the Star 30? I'm leaning towards the Modular 90, but I may let price decide. The Modular 90 is $225 with center caps and shipping from Summit.

Second, does anyone see a problem with either the brand of wheel or the tire that I'm going to mount? I think it's all good, but someone out there may know better.

Never really used US Wheel so no preferance there. The tire sizes should also be good, now the only thing is wheel choice and honestly I really like them both, but maybe that is because I got a set of OutlawII's on my jeep and some centerline Hellcat's on my camaro. I kinda lean towards the old skool spoke design as a general rule

so maybe the stars would be my choice.

Thanks for the reply! I'm really torn between the two. I'm on the phone with Summit as I type to check price and availability on the Star 30 series. That may be the deciding factor.

Well, the Star 30's are $59 a pop and a special order in the size that I need. I'm putting the order in for the Modular 90's right now.

Still a good choice, with 2 classic styles you can't go wrong IMO

Summit's web site tells me the wheels should be here on the 13th. I'll try to get a pic and short review posted then.
