ok me and my wife are down to the final 2 wheels. Both of these wheels can be made for a 6 lug app.

so what do you guys think?

wheels will be 22x9 and 22x10 or 11 rear
tires
265 35 22 and 315 30 22
or
265 40 22 and 305 35 22

#1 because the spokes are cleaner looking in that they have a crisp edge to them instead of a rounded edge. Plus they look simple, just like the stock rims.

Edit:

Plus they'll be easier to clean. Those little rivets are gonna be a biatch to clean the break dust outta.

I like the "spokes" of the second ones better, but I like #1 overall the best. The rivets on any wheel just turn me away.

#2 for sure.But they are not going to look right with a 6 bolt application.See how each bolt is in the centre of the spoke.With 6 lug it'll look weird they'll all be off centre.

I say #1, it is clean and sharp, but will still be able to be polished relatively easily compared to #2.:m2:

I like both of them, you really can't go wrong with either one.

Do they come in 6-spoke or just 5-spoke?

if #1 is forged go with that, if not #2 (i assume that since it says forged then it is)

I'd say #2. :drool:

#1 i don't really like the rivets. Eventough my wheel has them (couldn't tell when i bought them through a catalog:hissy:) they r a pain in the ass to clean or to detail them!

Like some others have said - I like the smooth spokes better but don't like the rivets. Also, I think a six spoke would look better.

Either one would look nice, but #2 I like the bolts that makes it look like a multi piece rim. Far as #1 I like the single piece action.

#1 it's cleaner no little fake rivets to clean the braek dust around
are they 6 spoke in 6 lug or still 5 spoke

I'm telling you to get a pic with the 6 holes if they are 5 spoke.It is going to change the look of the rim.Most 6 bolt rims you have to get ones with caps or have a six spoke that matches the holes.

I agree with 1BADSS, 6 holes, 6 spokes. Thats the way it should be, and thats the way it will look best. I've always been a fan of 6 spoke wheels anyway.

now that they have pointed it out to me, it makes sense. I guess they would look odd with 5 spokes and 6 holes. And maybe the first ones would be eisier to clean, but I still like the second ones.:m2:

#1 Is a cleen look, just go with a cap to cover the lug pattern, the 6 bolt patter would ruin the classic muscle look of a five spoke. I love classic looking 5-spokes, #2 looks too ricey for me. Good luck with your choice :m2:

I agree #1, but I also think that rim would look great as a 6 spoke on an SS

TBSS

I disagree about the 6-spoke, 5-hole deal. I've seen wheels like this and they look fine, IMO. The 6-holes were too small to even notice.

That being said, I don't like 5-spoke wheels, so I wouldn't get 5-spoke wheels anyway. But it wouldn't be because of the 5-hole issue, it would be because I just don't like how they look.

I really like the oem wheels but of the two I like BOOST the best.

#1 for me. Not a big fan of rivets.

Actually, I like the stock wheels that came on my TBSS the best......Can't see spending that kind of money on wheels when none are needed, I have a lot of other more important things to spend $$$ on......:undecided

Also on the rims in the first post you have a centre circle, so it is going to look worse than the flat centre on the black truck.
