you have a great truck either way, I do like it much better without the rings. The offset, size looks good.

I just have an inclination for the 08 stockers because I think those are the best wheels out of detroit on a pickup, pretty much period.

The aftermarket ones look 100% better without the rings. However, I still like the 08's

Where did you get the adapters from? I want to run those rims on my truck.

dude- those 08 rims looked AWESOME on that truck.

chappys4life · 05-13-2009, 12:56 PM

Just curious what seats do you have in your truck?

killacheyenne · 05-13-2009, 06:33 PM

the chrome look great...i dont like the stock ones because with your chrome grill the chrome wheels look awesome

Oldschool82 · 05-13-2009, 07:55 PM

With the height you have it, I like the stock 08's. The 15's would look better if it was lowered, probably. The 20's looked a little too bling bling for my taste. Go with what you like though, it's not like you could make that truck look bad, no matter what kind of rims you put on it.

Where did you get the lug adaptors? I've been wondering about doing a similar upgrade to my c10 project. I want to get the polished 20" tahoe wheels with some lower profile tires. Yours looks nice!

tvblazer78 · 05-14-2009, 08:02 PM

Much Better with out the rings!!

Tony_SS · 05-14-2009, 09:27 PM

I'm going to against the grain here and say the 20's look awesome, without the rings. I love that size with the stock height, I'm just not a fan of the chrome, but size wise, they're perfect.

The stock 08's are a close 2nd and might look better with a 285/60-18 tire.

Either way you can't go wrong!

Forget the PM, got the sizes and spacer info here. Thanks!

Tony_SS · 05-14-2009, 09:50 PM

Forgot to ask, are you running at factory height? No lift or anything?

impalamark · 05-15-2009, 11:37 PM

couple of things

I've never liked that yellow color on anything but I do like it on your truck
the chrome really sets it off

the 08 stock wheels are the hot ticket they look great
if you do not use them I'll take em

sweet ride!!

My vote is for the 08 wheels. Darn nice lookin' truck, by the way....

gchemist · 05-16-2009, 04:21 AM

Wow, I forgot how high stock trucks stand!! Nice wheels.

ChaseDale3and8 · 05-16-2009, 07:39 AM

Wow! Those 08 wheels look great on your truck! That's the first one of these trucks that I have seen with those on it. The chrome bling bling looks good on it too. Doesn't really matter what wheels it has, it's a great looking truck! Really like that yellow! ...Joe
