Inexpensive But Nice Black Wheels?
Inexpensive But Nice Black Wheels?
I'm going to pick some 33 BFGs up today since i found them for 225 for all 4 so now i need some other 16" wheels. I'm going to mount them on stock wheels for now until i find other wheels. I found these on discounttiredirect for only 82 apeice, but is there any other nice black wheels for cheaper?

I would like the wheel to have some type of offset so it sits the wheel alittle bit farther out compared to stock. I'm new to the offsets of wheels and everything so i don't know what to look for. I don't want half the tire out the fender, just alittle bit to give it that nice stance.

Need to look at backspacing. Stock is like 4.5 inches, if you want them to stick out a bit further, need to take rim width into consideration as well. An 8 inch wide rim, with the same backspacing, will stick out a half inch, to an inch further. (stock wheels are 7 or 7.5 inches wide, can't recall exact number...) Smaller backspacing will move the wheel further out of the fender. (as will a wider wheel with the same backspacing.)

Holy hell you haven't made a wheel/tire decision yet? This is like your 5th thread on the subject. Get 16" D-slot steelies if you want cheap yet tough look. But you linked to aluminum wheels so I'm guessing you're going for the blinger look. Can't help you there

+1 on paint stock wheels black. I just got Cragar soft 8 black steel mods. If I didn't need the wider one inch I would have painted mine black. Also got black wall new tires.

Where can i find the d slot wheels?I would paint my stock wheels, but i don't have an extra set to throw on there until they are done. I have to drive to work/school everyday. I wouldn't mind my tires out an extra 1/2"-1" if i got the Cragars, but most of them come in 15" and I'm buying the tires which are 285/75r16.

I scuffed mine up a little bit with some sandpaper and then cleaned it good with brake cleaner.. Threw some spray paint on it let it dry and re sprayed another coat... Took about 30 min not even...
