Re: some truck rally wheels???

You can usually find them 'loaded' (w/trim rings & centers) for $50 each. Naked for 25~35$ each.

Re: some truck rally wheels???

I would have to disagree on these being a good buy. That would be a good price for 15X8 with good rings, centers, and tires, but seems a little pricey for 15X6.5

Agreed, 15X8's can be had for that money. I often see sets of four sell for $50-$250 locally. The ones in the picture are definitely not 8" wide.

Re: some truck rally wheels???

if the tires are good and you need them, jump on it. if you are looking to upgrade just cause, keep looking. on the other hand, if it is a deal to you and you are happy...

Re: some truck rally wheels???

Those center rings just do not look right to me. 8" is the way to go too.

Re: some truck rally wheels???

6 or 6.5" wheels for sure. i just paid $140 for a set of 8s with reasonable 235 75 15s to put on my 92.

i'd definitely look for a set of 8s, especially if you're lowering your truck.

Re: some truck rally wheels???

235/75 R15s X 8" wide is what on my truck. I think these looks best on our trucks.

Re: some truck rally wheels???

Yep, those tires are too small. You need at least a 255/70 R 15. They are within .1 inch of the 235 75 15's that came on these trucks so your speedo will still be accurate without switching the gears.

I really like the 275 60 15 look too, but it needs to go with a 2-4 or more drop.
