Wheel Opinions

[21robbie21]

I need a 16" wheel and these are two wheels im comparing and IM OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS

which are $110 or so per wheel,

or

just found another site with these for $108.80 16x10 and $106 for 16x8
here

lastly ill be running a 37"x12.5r16 parnelli jones dirt grips, what are the advantages of running a 10" wheel over an 8"? will the appearence be distinct? Thanks

defintely the top ones...

Definately the bottom ones...

Honestly, I've always liked that style of wheel. They have the rugged look, but at the same time, they're classy.

I don't like either, but out of the two, I'd choose the top ones.

With a 10" wheel, the tire will look fatter. The 8" wheel will look like bmx's. I have a picture for a good comparison, let me find it.

I don't think there are any advantages. I think the advantages are with an 8" wheel. People say that the 10" has a better chance of losing a bead when aired down.

These are 35s. The front is 8" wheel and the rear is 10" wheel.

Did you see this part.

I have been fiesty lately. I'm not sure why either. I"ll find some that I like, and I'm guessing right around $100 is the max you want to spend/wheel?

ya i saw that part, but its a risk im willing to take. Im trying to keep the cost of wheels under 500 so around 110 per wheel plus tax(~30) and lug nuts(~20) and sometimes shipping(~50) is like 500 give take depending on how all those numbers round up or down. ANd its like i can find them online for cheaper, but then there is shipping fees so it evens out.

maybe sebas is the one who set you off at being fiesty

I think it was... Dude called me an ass after I helped him twice. Clown shoe.

What lug pattern you using again?

5x5.5 je5 is hooking me up with some spacers right now for my 8.8

haha. I like the AR Mojave:

 

[21robbie21]

haha nice ill go with da bears, , ya i have rock crawler 97 series right now which are like the same thing except crome hub caps, which i dont even like, but i was just trying to switch things up, but i do like those wheels especially the teflon, i think it looks way better then the shiny steel, but again those are a little more pricey

i also like these, but again way too pricey, but nice teflon

 

[conig]

ive seen the moto metals in person on a truck and they look good.

 

[IZwack]

EF those wheels! they're aluminum! They're gonna crack on a rock!! AHHH! *boom*!

Seriously tho, I'd go with the cheap Cragar Soft 8s or 9s - they are ultra cheap and chances are, you're going to bend a wheel or two:

Heck if you had that much money to spend on wheels, you shoulda linked your Dana 44

 

[UtahX]

The Unique's 297 series are the same as the Cragar Soft 8s, which I will be getting, hopefully soon.

 

[Dan Whitaker]

Why would American Racing put Teflon on a wheel for?
What am I supposed to do? Fry an egg on the damn things?

Call me Froader Jr.

 

[21robbie21]

IZ the thing is i saved so much money on tires i dont feel guilty spending a little extra on wheels
i think im going to go with the procomp 8089, the second pic, they will cost me $480 and i can pick them up and im going to go with 16x8, like i said it isnt done yet, theyre calling about inventory, but i mean i think im pretty good with money, i hope theyre arent a bunch of faults or things im not anticipating for the SAS and i all of a sudden need $250 more that i wasted on wheels
