Hi guys,

Anybody run black rims on their C20? If so, any pointers on what websites or where to find them?

I was thinking more along these lines:

trucks i ran black rims on only required a trip to local hardware store for cans of black spray paint

emil77 · 04-29-2011, 08:45 AM

I would like to avoid the spray paint method.

Are you talking about black stock rims or aftermarket?

Semi gloss black powder coated my burb wheels, and couldn't be happier with the look and ease of them to stay sharp looking with little maintenance.

8 x 6.5" is the size your looking for. I ran some black 16" x 8" Rockcrawlers on a couple of C-20's.

Those do look good. I will probably make my rims black too. I can't decide if I want to powder coat them or paint them.

Do I need to worry about the offset number?

Offsets should always be considered. It matters on some vehicles more than others.

The wheels I ran had 4.25" backspace. 4"-4.5" BS should be alright.

Thanks!

So these rims that say "12 mm" are of no use?

sweet burb now baggit

99-LS1-SS · 04-30-2011, 06:11 PM

24.5mm in an inch so the 12mm rims would be 1/2 inch.

25.4, I'm sure that's what ya meant

emil77 · 04-30-2011, 10:17 PM

I'm confused, so when looking for rims which offset in mm or inches should I be looking for?

Backspacing and Offset are two different measurements. Backspacing is usually listed in inches, most modern wheels list Offset in Metric. Don't know the answer to your questions but you might find this link helpful.
