Pic/Info request: New-er oem wheel

I have been thinking alot about wheel combos to go on my Blazer Project. For those following, I am still leaning toward doing the thing with Rushforth. However before I spend so much, there is another option I have been entertaining and am trying to see the expenses to go this route. But I can't find any info.

I'm looking for a picture of a particular late model Chevrolet truck wheel that seems to be very elusive. I think is was offered sometime from '02,'03-'05. I think I have only seen these wheels on maybe one truck, but I did see it as a top of the line option on the dealer floor at a few different dealerships. I have seen a set on ebay maybe a year or two ago advertised as OEM. My recent searches (last two days) don't turn up anything.

Description:
I am 99% sure it was 20".
It is polished or possibly brushed aluminum.
It is a very simple mesh design. Wide gaps between the few bars. Very flat.
The most similiar wheel that I can think of is like an '02 z06 wheel. It is somewhat similiar to that except bigger, polished, flatter and was less positively offset(had more dish).

upside = *****in' wheel--if I recall correctly
downside = I MAY not be able to do a staggered setup with these. I would have to convert to six lug, but since I still gotta purchase brakes...

I really just need a pic or even name for the wheel, or someone just to verify that I am not crazy--so I can find it/look at it to see if I want to further pursue this route.

Thanks for the help. I am gonna copy this to the '99+ section, where I have already searched to no avail, but only 2 people viewing now, so...I figured one of you guys might know something that I don't.

Re: Pic/Info request: New-er oem wheel

Thanks.
I do believe that is it. I don't remember it being a two piece or three piece or whatever design, but I still think it looks good. I don't think that picture is doing it any favors. I wish it was a better pic from a bit of an angle so I could see the lip. I copied the part number and searched, but nothing came up. I left a message with finishline, I'll see if they can send me better pics.


What do yall think about the idea of that being on the Sport Touring Blazer (I officially dub)?

Re: Pic/Info request: New-er oem wheel

i think you would have good luck finding a aftermarket wheel like that in a 5lug... i think they where part of the SS package on the colorados if im not mistaken... maybe it was the canyon though... i dont really follow new truck but i know i have seen them on a few floating around my area...

I think you are thinking of this wheel. Not exactly the same. Don't think they are 20"s either.

I think these would look cool on a 73-87. It would cost a fortune for the adapters.

Re: Pic/Info request: New-er oem wheel

Wouldnt need the expensive adaptors , use the 6-lug conversion rotors and change out the rear axles....if it can be done or redrill or even change the whole axle with a 4x4 rear axle. I have been toying with the idea of doing this to one of my trucks...Think the late model 20's would be sic on the right truck.
