wheels?

[NC-Expy]

anyone know where there's a wide selection of 16x8 wheels?

5x135 bolt pattern... can't find a lot especially in that size. all the ones i like are 20"...

oh, by the way... body lift just came in the mail. waiting on the spacers!

 

[jacks3am]

4wheelpars.com has a tire and whel package builder, idk how much they have in that size but theres definetly somthing there youll like

 

[NC-Expy]

yeah they only have 2 wheels in my size, none in my size and bolt pattern.

you can also pick up a petersen's 4wheel drive magazine or find them online. they have wheel and tire combos as well. but you wont really find anything too fancy in a 16x8 wheel. going to be pretty basic but the dick cepeks look nice if you can find it in your size.

might try Summit Racing. I don't know if they still do but they used to have a really good selection of wheels, and they have awesome prices on most of them too!


Edit: Just realized you're in Apex, that's not too far from here, like 30 or 40 miles I think?

thanks! and yeah, i definitely can't wait. I've just got the 3" body lift and gap guards sitting in my back seat, once the spacers come in I'm good to go! but I wasn't planning on getting 20's... lol, i was just saying that most of the wheels I like only come in 20's

Go for the 20's I did ...no regrets. The bolt pattern is getting harder to find. I actually talked to some of the rim reps and most don't plan on adding it!! KMC has a few rims still if thats your style. I got mine through Jack Williams tire. www.jackwilliams.com I called them before Bloomsburg show and they brought them down there for me. They had a pretty good selection of 5x135. Try giving them a call. The tell you what's around. Hope this helps. It took me along time to find the right rim, it sucks we don't have the selection of the 6 and 8 bolt guys.

thanks a lot man! and everyone else for the kind input. I was thinking about it... I wouldn't mind the 20's, but the price difference per wheel and tire is just wayyy out of my budget. I'm just looking specifically for a black rim with chrome lip? (I guess you'd call it that) only because the darker wheels obviously don't look so good with the darker color paints. (My Expy is burgandy) But we'll see! I'll be sure to keep you guys posted with pictures and detail once the lifting process is in motion!



EDIT: What do you guys think of these? (you can be honest)

I hope your kidding, summit is a ripp off when it comes to rims and tires..... no matter what deal they have, you can find it cheaper anywhere else.

WOW i'm so happy!!!

just called one of the discount tire shops near me. the guy set me up with a wheel and tire package for $1448.74 out the door!!!

I was looking at 1094.78 from another place just for the tires, and that was AFTER a price match from 4wheelparts.com

the wheels were 90 dollars a piece, he told he'd give them to me for 80, "wheel installation kit" 45 dollars, he told me 35.

tires after price match were 238, he got me down to 227.

I love this guy!!! lol


OH and they offer FREE lifetime rotation and balancing
