5 lug rims for street queens

okay. this is just for the 5 lug guys.

where do you buy your street rims for your truck?
Any prefernce. Places to stay away from??

 

bump

 

bought my rims local from a fellow CTzen...

I look a lot at tirerack.com, but most of their stuff looks like Chinese or Korean... as with most places.

 

yeah i know alot of places that sell cheap shit. but i was just wanting to get an idea of where everbody buys rims.

 

Many of the wheels I have owned have been factory wheels from other makes. I had nissan maxima and lexus IS300 wheels. Any wheels with a 5 on 4.5" bolt circle, correct offset, and large enough center bore.

 

Stay away from discount tire. I have had numerous bad experiences there. Maybe a local shop or even craigslist.

 

hey guys, i think we should include pics like CT does. they have their own thread for 5 lug rims with pics. i dont know just a thought.

 

Nothing special...TireRack specials....

 

not too shabby

 

That was the "Before" picture....Here are the "After" pics.... Pretty shabby now eh? I just bought the identical truck but it's a 2003. Shame the insurance company took those wheels with the old truck.
Truck was wrecked by my 16 year old when he hit black ice and slid sideways into an oak tree... 6 stiches in the top of his head and some cuts to his hand as well as some loose teeth. I still think he was pretty lucky though.

 

oh man. im sorry to hear about your kid. trucks are like you said, replaceable, kids arent. glad it worked out for you

 

on my old taco i had IS300 rims, GS430 "Spyder" rims, and some toyota 19's but im not sure what they came off of. id post pics but dont have any on this computer. like someone said, try craigslist or some forums

 

Stern ST-7's 18x9.5's not the best pic, but one of my most recent. Bought from a friend who got at the SEMA show.. I like craigslist personally.

 

I use tirerack, bought Sport Editions D5 15x6.5. I was after a stock size and they're about 5 lbs lighter per wheel. They're Chinese, would've bought American but they either don't exist or not produced for the Taco. Kosei acutally manufacturers the Sport Edition line, I bought some 14x6 wheel for my '98 Escort under the Kosei trademark, they've performed well on both vehicles. The TPMS sensors were not switched over to the new rims, have to disable the light at some point.

 

These came with the truck when I bought it. They are from Ultra Motor Sports, not sure where they were purchased.


The fronts are 9x15 and the backs are 12x15's.

 

man i like those.

 

Thanks, they stick out the side of the truck so I cant go threw mud puddles without getting the whole truck dirty.. I want the same ones but in 8x17's instead of the 15's.

 

Mine came with Eagle Alloys on it. 16x8's I think.

I like the look of those Ultra's too.

I went to 4 wheel parts wherehouse. Pro Comp 18 x 9 5 lug x 4.5 offset.

 

Those are great! How much did you get them for and do they fit inside the wheel wells. I have to replace mine with ones that fit in the wheel wells. Something about not legal in Europe!!
