Rim choice
Trust me when I tell you I am Ballin on a budget or building on the budget nevertheless I'm on a budget. If you had a choice between these rims which one would you go with I know in the end it's my choice but a little help won't hurt anyone...
I wanted those three or four thousand dollars billet wheels but I can't get those... so opted for the ones you see in the pics which I can get for under 2 Grand |

Re: Rim choice
Not those 2. Those would not compliment your truck.

Re: Rim choice
If you want a 5 spoke that's affordable just get a set of Boss 338s or American racing torque thrust.

Re: Rim choice
Also think about backspacing on any wheels you are looking at. Especially since you mentioned bagging the front of your truck in your other thread.

As much as I am tired of looking at Boss 338's (and I have a set on my OBS ), they are a cheap wheel with good looks and offer backspacings that will work on lowered stuff. |

Re: Rim choice
A set of 20's in chrome or gray center and machined lip for just under or just barely over 1 grand. And as classic of a look as you will find for these trucks. Tires would be easy. Search these wheels and you will find fronts and rears.
Frank $820 for 20x9.5 and 20x8 Gray/machined $1130 for same sizes in chrome. https://www.summitracing.com/search/...brand/u-s-mags

Re: Rim choice
both those wheels look like they belong on an import not a classic truck IMO...my buddy was on a budget also so I found him these Ridler 695 18s and 20s with nitto tires for under $1,900 for his 65 Impala..

Re: Rim choice
In those first pictures you posted a 5 lug wheel AND a 6 lug wheel. Which do you need?
What size are you looking for? Here is a similar wheel to the first pictures in a 18" X 9.5 wheel size for less than $105 a wheel (not billet though). http://www.ebay.com/itm/One-18x9-5-V...JYAxaJ&vxp=mtr

Re: Rim choice
I have the bottom ones as well and the only thing I don't like is the lip of the wheel. Even at the same offset as my Eagle 225s they aren't as deep.

Re: Rim choice
I agree with you but to get a deep lip and a good lookin wheel you need deep pockets unless you got the hook up.....

Re: Rim choice
I don't know if I should feel good or bad that I bought Pro Comp wheels off Amazon for $104 per wheel. I think I feel good, because I was on a budget as well.
