What do you all think about these wheels on a C 10? How about 18 X 8 in front and 18 X 9.5 in the rear?

The tires would look great.

I'm just not sure how easy it would be to keep the groves clean.

They look good to me. IMO, most 5 spoke wheels look nice, you can hardly go wrong.

cochino12 · 09-09-2004, 12:06 PM

they are good lookin wheels but i would save some $$ and get torque thrusts if you like that style. Nice wheel though

They looks real good. Kind of resemble the Alumitub wheels.

Just my opinion, but I dont like those Eagles. The Billet Spec. wheels look awesome.

jason952 · 09-10-2004, 06:25 AM

ok, what about these in 17x8?

Are they quality wheels?; I like that they are forged.

This is a clean wheel if you wanna roll 20's. I have been thinking about these for myself.

Those wheels look much better than the pics show. I was never really impressed with the looks until I saw a set an a car.

I wouldn't go with 18's though. You may as well get 20's and be done with it. Later you will wish you had.....

Those are very nice wheels. I am thinking of getting a set of 20's in that style for my Tahoe.

I went to buy that wheel and I was told that those were discontinued. I hope you have better luck.

i think the torque thrusts look awesome in an 18 or even a 17" er......i seen them on a c10 in a car show this summer, they were just polished, not chrome, but man....they looked gooood...
