Are these wheels any good ? I have only seen them online, as no dealers around here have them. I'm looking at the 058 series 16x8.

Thanks in advance
Keith

They are inexpensive, and adequate quality. Shop around, as the prices vary wildly. The lug nuts that come with them are not very high quality, so if you remove and install them alot, you will want other lugs.

Lots of polishing required if your keep them on in the winter. Good price for a decent wheel!

I like mine. They are a pain to keep polished, but get a mother's buff ball and it cuts the time in 1/4.

So far I am happy with mine. I know they are not the best wheels out there but you can't beat the bang for buck factor.

Mine have almost 50K miles on them, held up when some idiot loaded 5500 lbs of feed in bed of truck :eek: (that would be me)):h

They've been all over the SE hauling GN trailer so I say :grd:

As for the lug nuts, put a shot of spray lube on studs, I do this on all aftermarket lug nuts I install.

I had a set on my 04 and they worked fine with no problems for the 45K I had the truck. I just hated having to polish them, so I put chrome on my 06.

Inexpensive but nice I think. I have a set of 20x10 114 for sale if anybody wants

I have had at least five sets of Eagles in the last four years, and I have never had any problems with them. I do like the chrome finish better than the polished.

Thanks everyone for your answers. I'm still undecided, but i'll post pics when I buy new rims.
