Aftermarket Wheel Question

**Burnall4** · 05-26-2009, 11:58 AM

So, I know I don't post much, I do, do a lot of reading and researching and this forum has helped me out a great deal

I am trying to figure out what After market wheels are available for our trucks, I did a search and there isn't an aftermarket wheel thread, just sporadic post here and there.

I have looked at TireRack and don't really like any of the wheel options they have...

I know there is American Racing, Allied, etc...but there has to be more options?!

I have a 2005/k1500 Charcoal/Dark Gray with the chrome package, I would prefer not to have chrome rims, I would love a black or anthracite. I would also love to see what the brand new 20" or 17" (I guess) alloys that come on the new Tahoes/Siverados look like on my body style but I can't find a decent picture on goolge or the board.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Anyone have a shot of these wheels on a 2005 MY silverado?

I have the 17 inchers on my 1996 Z71. I know thats alot of difference but see if you like them, look at my pics. You wont find the 20 inchers on a truck most likely. Watch out for the rims that are 5-lug though. I reccomend 18-20 inch black XD Rockstars, but they are about over $600 a piece.

Here are a couple of sites,
Wheelforless.com and Superbuytires.com.Super buys tires carrys just about Every Rim Made But don't buy from them,they are way over Priced.

Also Check out E-bay or Craigs list. for Chevy Alloy Rims,alot of guys sell them after they put on Aftermarket rims.

just took a look at the XD Rockstar wheels, those things are AWESOME! I found a place that is really close to me selling a packaged deal with wheels and tires for $1200 but the tires they have on them are really aggressive nitto tires. What are some recommendations for a truck that is 90% street use 10% whatever. The wheels are 18" x 9" (?) I like the series tire they have on there but I don't want the aggressive tread, bec of the noise it will make while at Highway speeds.
Don't worry I am going to do a search just seeing if anyone has a quick tire choice!

Thanks for the heads up everyone!

There all so many,to name a few,Toyo,Nitto,Falken,Hankook,Copper and Goodyear G.T. II,is what I'm running.This is the 2nd set of Goodyears I've had I got 45k out of the 1st set.But it all come down to what you are looking for in a tire.Also what you are looking to spend.

Don't want to spend more than 1500 total for wheels and tires, if I could get a 5th wheel and tire combo some how to have a spare and mount it in the bed on that removable mounting platform, later on down the road, that would be ideal!
