Default Need Your Recommendation On Rims

Hey I'm just dreamin at this point. But when the new Silverado comes out, I'm all over that like a fat kid on an ice cream cone.

Anyway, I'm just wondering.....what kinda rims should I get? I know *zero* about truck rims and need some good honest recommendations on some aftermarket rims. Something less than $1000 for the set. And nothing over 18". No, and I don't want the little spinny things either

What rims would you recommend? Any http links would be appreciated.

Yeah, I'd probably have to take out a second mortgage for the FMXs.


Thanks for the responses so far though...

discount can order pretty much any brand of wheels and at a pretty good price. I would check there in a catalog.

What kinda truck is it going on again? Depends too on the look you are trying to get. There are a lot of wheels available but not all will look good on a particular truck. 2 wheel drive custom or 4x4 ya know. Also depends on if you want something lightweight for a more performance based wheel or heavy for a rugged durable look.

The aftermarket truck wheel business has gone crazy and there are a ton of wheels available. I can understand about wanting to stay at 18" or less though. Although the Silverado SS style wheels look great but they are 20".

You can visit performancetrucks.net and see what alot of the guys over there are running and give ya a pretty good idea.
