    I have been thinking of going with these wheels.


    I know they aren't flashy and bling, but I am looking at a more sport look and don't want to spend a lot of money on wheels right now. So, what do you guys think, my truck is a 2001 light pewter metalic. I also want to do a 2/2 drop.

    Thanks,
    Randy

    Kind of a Nascar look there, eh? Do they make them in the size and bolt pattern you need?

    this is the information it gives from summitracing.com
    Wheel, Steel, Black, 17 in. x 8 in., 6 x 5.5 in., Bolt Circle, 4.5 in. Backspace, Each
    not sure about the backspaceing. And they also come in 9in width and also a 5 in backspacing.

    Yeah, it is kinda a nascar look, but I have been wanting some black wheels for a while. I am not sure if it will look silly or not.

    Not much, moved into a house about a year and a half ago, so I am a little low on funds. Havn&#39;t had any extra money to work on the truck.

    I was looking at those same sets of wheels about a year ago... Then I ran across these for all four wheels, caps, lug covers, & two good tires for &#036;200:
