Default what do you guys think of these wheels?

so basicly i went to town fair tire and made a deal with the guy there for a wheel tire package. the tires are gonna be 265/75/16 general grabber HTS's which will be good seeing i do a lot of highway commuting, and the wheels are cragar soft 8s.

http://cragar.com/ProductView.aspx?id=1170&bq=%3fc%3d15

do these look reliable/durable? im getting 16x8s with a -13mm offset (about 3 inches sticking out of the wheel well (tire) )
let me know guys
thanks

Yeah, good wheels. Although you'd probably be happier with some street tires instead of A/Ts for the highway commuting.

I've always liked that style of wheel, reminds me of nascar lol. I would put a set on in a minute if I had the $$$ for wheels


Oh, and be prepared to NEVER have a clean truck with them stickin out that far but do it anyways, I love that look

Plenty of time for washing while the hub bearings are being replaced.

I like those rims, and my boss had some offsets, and something in his front end would go every 3-4 months, it was weird....not to discourage you though
