View Full Version : Wheel suggestions for my Sierra

When I bought my 20's, I was originally going to bag the truck and I got 8.5" wheels all the way around so I wouldn't have clearance issues. Now that I've gone away from that idea, I really want to run a wider rim in the rear. I have a couple of options, but I wanted to get some suggestions also.

My first option would be to send two rims back and get them re-hooped. If that's even an option (I've heard some rumors about Boyd Coddington wheels lately) it would be kind of costly...about $800 bucks or so.

I'd really like to update the look of the truck (every sport truck out there has billets on it), so I was thinking of running something a little different, like maybe a 3-piece wheel, or something with that 3-piece look to it. I'm having trouble locating a 6 lug wheel in this style.

Any places that I should look in particular? I would love a Forgeline or Fikse wheel, but just don't want to spend over $1k per rim. Could I get some suggestions of places to start looking for this style of wheel?

Have you checked Intro, Budnik, etc? They're not 3 piece wheels, but as you said I think you'll be hard pressed to find a 6 lug 3 piece wheel. HRE might have something though, but they're over $1k per. www.hrewheels.com

I'm trying to get away from the normal "sport truck" brands like Boyd, Budnik, Intro, Billet Speciaties, etc. I *think* that CCW might be able to make me something in a 6 lug, just wanted to get some other brands along the lines of the CCW's to check out.

This is a different bolt pattern, but at least it's 6 lug!

Ahh okay, I understand now. Kinesis might be able to make a 6 lug wheel, but very pricey. www.kinesismotorsport.com

I really like the CCW stuff though, the 505s would look great on the Sierra, and they probably won't hurt your wallett too much.

Asanti? Powder coated ceters?
