pics of good looking 8 lug wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*Stitch* · 11-07-2009, 11:11 PM

I'm trying to decide whether I want to stay with what I have on my crew cab or if I want to swap it to a dually and run semi wheels...if I can find some good looking 8 lug wheels, then I'll keep it like it is and run them...if not, I'll be saving for some semi wheels...I'm also open to factory wheels...I'm wanting to put low profile tires and lower/bag the truck...also, I'd like 20s or around there...thanks...

Chuck.

sailed2japan · 11-07-2009, 11:20 PM

Check out incubus wheels. I like their incubus, grim and recoil. Most 8 lug 20= inch wheels have too much bs on them like the stupid fake screw things and little divits around them.

*Stitch* · 11-07-2009, 11:21 PM

exactly...I want a clean looking wheel not gaudy...I'll check incubus out right now...thanks...

Chuck.

*Stitch* · 11-07-2009, 11:29 PM

those wheels look good, but not exactly as clean as I'd like...they do look promising though...I'd like to see them on a square so I could get an idea

sailed2japan · 11-07-2009, 11:32 PM

Try MB wheels gunner 8's

*Stitch* · 11-07-2009, 11:40 PM

now those are clean...I like those...

anyone else have any they want to add to the decision..lol

**N2TRUX** · 11-08-2009, 01:12 AM

Good luck with it. I don't know if you followed the search that Adam went through trying to find wheels for his CC SWB. In the end he "settled" for what he had, but still wasn't happy.

*Stitch* · 11-08-2009, 01:27 AM

looks like I'll be going big...semi that is...lol

flamingbig10 · 11-08-2009, 01:45 AM

I would say pull offs from a 2000 and up 3/4 Chevy and gmc

*Stitch* · 11-08-2009, 02:08 AM

got any pics of those?

BLE 'BURBAN · 11-08-2009, 02:25 AM

Check out these from KMC's XD line

This next one is my personal favorite... The BLACK REVOLVER

or even in BRONZE

And for duallies they have...ROCKSTARS

*Stitch* · 11-08-2009, 02:41 AM

the revolver in black doesn't look bad at all and the dually rockstars look good also, but they're only 17s...

flamingbig10 · 11-08-2009, 03:35 AM

sure do
in aluminum

in steel

midnite · 11-08-2009, 04:14 AM

imo the factory aluminum ones off the newer trucks look awesome

68 TT · 11-08-2009, 10:38 AM

I agree they look really nice, are pretty easy to get and fit the look of our trucks pretty well.

Option code is PY0 (P Y Zero) for looking them up on wrecking yard web sites.

You can even cut out the center cap for locking hubs to fit through. I have a pic of this somewhere. It looks like the emblem section is just the right size to do this. They might have actually been thinking about the retrofit when they designed the caps.

**scotts62** · 11-08-2009, 11:57 PM

I am doing the same in tossing around the 8 verses 5 or 6 lug... decisions decisions. I mights stay with some factory pull offs if i do though.

*Stitch* · 11-08-2009, 10:43 AM

what size do they come in though...I want at least a 20" wheel...and my truck is going to be bagged or lowered, so no hubs or 4x4 looking wheels...

they come in 16x6 1/2, 16x7, and there a 17 x 7 1/2 available on 07 and up

sailed2japan · 11-09-2009, 03:59 PM

The wheels on the white 20 are mb motoring gunner 8's possibly a different company as I've found a couple different brands that make wheels which are almost identicle.

joe231 · 11-08-2009, 10:53 AM

I like these,

cochino12 · 11-08-2009, 11:42 AM

I wanted to run these wheels but they were backordered at the time, should be available soon I would guess

**N2TRUX** · 11-08-2009, 11:46 AM

Something to keep in mind in your quest is SEMA was this week. Almost every wheel manufacturer introduces their new style at SEMA.

Check the websites in the next few weeks as these new styles are added.

*Stitch* · 11-08-2009, 11:55 AM

great idea N2 didn't think about that

**N2TRUX** · 11-08-2009, 12:04 PM

Be forwarned, many times they post the pics LONG before the wheels are available for sale...
