OEM's. I'm among the few here that are 100 per cent stock all the way. Nothing looks worse than a Mercedes that someone chucks the OEM wheels off of and replaces them with some garish after-market units. Have similar feelings for trucks reqardless of the make. Just my humble opinion.

Body;
I got the same ones and they are strong and work well. they been stuck in the mud several times and have held up fine on the drag strip and the dynos. The don't seem to lose any balance. The chrome has stayed shine and uncorroded. I get a lot of positive remarks.

Hey Bodysurfer, How much would I be looking at for 4 of those in 16' diamter? There nice but they look expensive, do you know anywhere I could get a deal on them?

They run around a little of $400 per rim but I got them when I got my lift and tire done from 4WheelParts. I paid under $400 for them. I know people have had problems with 4WheelParts but I didnt. Search around and see what kind of prices you get.


BTW, they are chrome and are 16x8 and I have 315/75/16 BFG AT tires on them.

Let me know what you come up with.

LATER!

The strongest aluminum rims I found were the Alcoa's. They are forged, not cast, and have a weight rating of 3400lb IIRC. Probably overkill. The stockers are very strong as well, except they are only 6" wide.

Weld EVO Velociti 8's have come in 8" or 10" and have a 3400+ weight rating.
