I am actually getting some rims soon as well

And..I was lookin and found nothig i really liked until I saw this topic HAHA! Anyways..How much are the American Racing ones..and how much are the 212's. I really like those. I dont care how many people hav it...If i like i'll get it lol. I dont wanna 20's b/c there way to expensive....But some 17's would be nice w/ my 3/5 drop

Anyone kno those prices ?

r0lf- · 10-17-2003, 06:39 PM

The American Racings are 235 a piece and the 212's in 17's are about ~180 a piece. 212's in 18's are 209 and in 20's they are 240.

I really like the Hopsters and its just a better looking wheel IMO, thats what will be sitting under my truck hopefully.

I paid 200 a piece new in the box with lugs. I had to get wheel locks though.

Does anybody have a picture of a 73-87 w/Hopsters so we can compare looks? And those of you guys that have 212s, what size do you have, 17s or 18s?

r0lf- · 10-18-2003, 03:58 PM

Theres a chop I did a bit ago, tried to make them 18's and 20's

I havent seen a truck with Hopsters on it, thats why I want them.

You will be amazed at how much new rims/tires will bring out your truck. Good Luck with your choice.

BowTieMan · 02-12-2004, 11:43 PM

I know this is an old thread but I was looking at both those rims. What did or are you geting? Got any pictures if you got them?

8t5Silverado · 02-13-2004, 10:47 AM

Out of those two, the Hopsters.

I like the Salt Flats better myself.

I got new 17s and new Sumitomo tires for $760.

r0lf- · 02-13-2004, 03:18 PM

Actually due to some complications I didnt pick up either. Im really glad though since I know Im gonna go with an 18/20 combo now. It will cost a bit more, but be worth it definitely.

I know if I got the 17's then I would want to go bigger almost immediately.
