Default New wheels from American racing

Was wondering if anyone would think these wheels will look closer to stock fitment, or stick out too much.
American racing "Thug"
17X8.5
+15 Offset5 3/8 Backside 6-5.5 bolt pattern06-on GM truck http://www.americanracing.com/dealer...mega/m3991.jpg

I really like the look of the black wheels, and it will look good with the Black Westin platinum nerf bars on my rig.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Not bad. I prefer hidden lug nuts. Those might trap a lot of gook and mud. Those are very aggressive looking.

Awe man!! I was hoping nobody would find those!! I'm planning to get those soon! From what I understand, the +15 version might be a close fit but it should fit.
They also have this in a -6 offset if you are looking for a wider more agressive stance. I think I did my size calculations right on that at least. IK seems to have that whole offset thing down.

As for catching mud, it might catch but it wont stay for long...theyre painted with Teflon!!!!!!!!

Oh also, I think 4 wheel parts has them on sale for 193.50. down from 215.99

I like dem. The American Racing Wheel site is pretty cool too. I don't do sizes though. I had a set of mags, yeah I said mags, from American Racing like back when the Sphinx was under construction. Good stuff!!

I found these wheels for 175 a piece on a web site. I'll try to find it tonight and post since they seem to have a really good price on them......The shipping might make a big difference though....some places have had free shipping.

Isn't a +15 offset bad if you want to run larger tires?
