Isn't there a "show us your wheels" Thread??

[Pangela]

I'm looking for it, can't find it, and wanna see a BUNCH of wheels, with tires on them. It's hard to find this on the wheel web sites, so I wanted to see all our setups.

Help me find the thread? Mkay. Thanks

Here's some Helo 835s for ya. Not a current pic of the truck, but the pic was taken the day I got the wheels.

Colin, looks good. And that is a fabulous avatar pic lol. I love the Flag in the back. Did you plan it that way?

ok, this is strange, because I've been looking at all these wheels with the round holes in them, and I haven't liked the way they look at all... but in this picture, I REALLY like them! What the hell. This could be problematic. Now what's I'm gonna do lol. Yeesh.

I currently have 16.5 American Racing, and they're hard to find tires for in that size, blah. So I was planning on going up to 17". Here's my current ones:



And here's some I was looking at:




I like the way these look too:


And these also: XD Hoss's

 

[Blue01F250]

those Hoss's are supposedly on back order for 90 days

 

[Pangela]

Hmm... that's interesting. I guess if I want them, I'll have to wait 90 days then huh lol. A friend of mine just got them within about a week, so maybe I'll have to try his source!

My summer wheels that are for sale. 17x8 on 305/70

My winter wheels:Throwup:

 

[Pangela]

summer vs winter LOL that's funny. I'm looking for black wheels, but not quite like your winter ones lol

 

[Lucky Jeff]

I'd either step up to 18's or down to 16's.. 17's are going to be the next 16.5.. They are already more difficult than other sizes to find tires for..

Here are a couple of shots of my truck with Eagle Alloy 137's.......Andy

LOL I thought the same thing, except I figured someone hit it with a giant can of Clear Nail Polish. Top Coat Xtra Shine oke:

I did a set of the "ones with holes in 'em" For a customer of mine, only I had them powdercoated Anthricite/gunmetal. They looked SICK AS HELL!!
Also have to agree that the 17s are a biznatch to get decent prices on tires for. I would go with a 18" with a 33 or 35" tire.

 

[Pangela]

Ok, so the next people who post pics, please state the size of your wheel so I can compare 16" vs 17" vs 18". This is more problematic than I first suspected. Why's everything gotta be so complicated? :doh:

 

[Pangela]

Also, with my 96 12v that has the 8 on 6.5" bolt pattern, what rim width and offset would you guys recommend? For both 17" and 18" rims. Thanks!

p.s. (ha, I just did a PS LOL) Don't forget to take into account that I will be mainly sled pulling, but drag racing as well when the opportunity occurs. So I need a versatile wheel and tire to help me take over the world. LMAO, ok just kidding.
