rim choices!!!

I am lost about which rims I should get... what do you guys think... Size will be 16x8 bs either 4" or 4.5"

My suspenion will soon be 2.5" Cornfed up front and downey coils in the rear with bilsteins.

Tire will most likely be my 265/75/16 Revo AT's for now and later I will be upgrading to 285/75/16 MT's!!! probably BFG's.

I am taking off the running boards also... Btw it's a 00 Millenium Silver

If you guys have any of these and have a pic to share, please do so along with the size, bs, tire size, and lift.

If you guys have any other suggestions that are prices between the $400-$450 shipped range, please let me know as well.

tia

Those LX450 wheels are sweet looking... How hard are they to come across? And what price range would I be looking for a set of those if you know.

thanks

Search ebay and they usually have people that sell OEM stuff. From what I've seen, you can normally get a set of 16X7 (I think this is the size) wheels from $400-$600 plus shipping. I know it's a little out of your price range but you will be keeping the wheels for some time.

The silver one looks just like the Pro Comp 1069's. Heck I think they are the 1069's.

I checked eBay, recycler, craigslist, bunch of forums and can't find a set... May probably pass on them... I want to get a set within a week or two. They seem fairly hard to come by.

I have a set of LX450 wheels. And I have 3 LC wheels. I know where to find a 4th.
The LX450 wheels are mint--$600+shipping
I might even be persuaded to sell my LC wheels with 285 MT/Rs....

i believe the MTII will run you atleast 130 each. I personally do not like the way they look, it seems that everyone has a version of them. I would go with the LX450s or LC wheels, they are very clean looking. If i didnt just buy new tires that came with rims, i would buy filthys lxs or LC

check out www.wheelsforless.com

you can get a variety of wheels for about $100 per wheel with free shipping.

now how are you going to decide between 4 and 4.5" backspacing?

i posed a similar question several posts down but couldn't get anyone to chime in. :cry:

Whatever Rims they used on the Ultimate Taco (Petersons)... those anthracite/grey looking teflon coated ones... those are the best looking next to good old Black Steel's...
