    looking at some new wheels

    I am wanting to put the truck on a diet so new wheels might be a quick fix. Looking at these two. Let me know what you think. They would both be powder coated black with a polished lip. These are centerline forged 20's and they weigh in at 27 and 28 lbs.

    do you have any specifics on the wheels? You'll want a forged rim with a pressed in and welded center to get the lightest weight wheel possible. The only thing lighter will be a true forged wheel like the Welds. Is the weight of those wheels available? What diameter are you looking at buying? BTW, both are nice looking wheels but once you black them out they will disappear.

    Are the wheels on top directional? Or will they be "going the wrong way" on one side of your truck? I like the wheels on the bottom, they kinda look like mine.
