anybody running any late model wheels? what to see pics

[stevenb]

ive been reading about some people running late model wheels with a little modification, but id like to see them on your trucks.

i came across a set of cheap 17 that id like to run til i change to 5 lug, but id like to see how they look.

[kylezero]

hmm those are interesting.... i saw a truck on here a while back with a set of nissan titan wheels on it looked pretty good.

[chad64chevy]

look at the top of page 5 on my build thread!! it will give you an idea!!

[stevenb]

interesting means ugly? im not a big fan of them, but for $100 it looks better than what i have. ill have to check out those nissan wheels

chad did you have to do anything to make thos fit? did you have them just on the front?

[kylezero]

daveodoms truck.... nissan wheels

[kylezero]

steven those stockers are pretty sweet... when i said interesting didnt realize they were 17s

[stevenb]

yeah im not sure what years they came off, but they are 17s. they're ok looking, id much rather put something aftermarket on it but that has to wait for the 5 lug swap.

[chad64chevy]

if you look on my build thread on the bottom of the first page they are on the back! the rear you will need spacers, 1"-1.5" sould be fine, i went with the 1.5"! the front you will need shims 1/8-1/4", the center bore is bigger on the drums then on the rims! the spacers on the back are to push the tires and rims out so it dont look funny! if you have 6 lug disc on the front then you don't need the shims, i didnt! i'm guessing you have drums all the way around?? this weekend i'll be working on my truck and i'll put the back spacers on and take some pictures so you'll have a better view of it, and how the fit in the rearwheel wells!!

Ok,i dont know if any of you guys have seen these but we got a new avalanche delivered with these 22" smooth steel wheels that are called gm transit wheels for wait until the ordered 22" wheels get installed at the dealer,i instantly visioned these painted body color with some sort of cap,didnt get a picture in time before they took the wheels back to the gm accessory location but someone on bags needs to get ahold of these. Very cool!!!

[kylezero]

Read up on the transit wheels. Looks like they scrap them after a while........ we need to know some one on the inside I want a set

I just saw them on the avalanche the other day and are very cool

i called a buddy whos a service manager. He said adi credits them 1200.00 bucks for the wheels. and the upgrade chromes wheels are only 1300.00 or so. But he didn't know if he could let me pay the 1200.00 for the transits, and that adi was real picky on getting them back!

[srziemkowski]

I was just talking to my adi on them and they would get charged back to the dealer 1500 wont sell them otherwise,so at my price would cost 1650 plus tax,but who knows how often i will see them.

ya a set of used centerline smoothies painted are way cheaper

[srziemkowski]

Just found it cool,22' factory smoothies

[srziemkowski]

here is the one i was messing around with

["El Jalapeno 66"]

buy these in craigslist for $ 400, 20"

[meat-head]

These came with the truck MB 16" wheels from americas tire. They also come in 18 & 20".

[srziemkowski]

Finally got another truck in with the transit wheels

[blitz'd]

Those transit wheels are cool, however it looks like they get scrapped after use.

http://www.vipadi.com/transit_wheel_policy.html

"ADI must scrap all transit wheels. Prior to scrap ADI must take a sledge to the outboard flange, damaging one 3-4” section, bending the flange in toward the center of the wheel."

[suzq044]

Don't have them on the truck as you can see by my sig, but I hope this counts.

Rockstars with painted stars. I don't remember if they even came in our bolt-pattern tho :\ sorry.

[srziemkowski]

The transit wheels get sent back to the accessory company after we install the wheels the customer ordered to install.they get sent back to install on more new vehicles to get delivered.
