Default Anybody running stock TBSS wheels?

Considering getting these since I'm sure they'll be a bit lighter than the SSS wheels. Just not so sure about the spacers holding up to my lead foot. I'm sure somebody has this combo- so chime in.

yup.

got some custom hub/wheel centric adapters from motorsport-tech.com out of Reno, NV.

took a while... 3 weeks or so... but custom is custom.

only one I have is on the truck... inside the center cap hole you can see the lip they made for the wheel... then inside there it grew for the truck hub. They did great work on them.




I was too excited when they finally made it & forgot to snap one of just the adapters.

But they look very similar to these but silver & with 6 lugs. 14mm holes for the truck & 12mm studs for the wheels

about $70 each... It was $290 or so total shipped to my door.

Found the wheels w/tires for $600 locally... so spending $300 for adapters still put me way under going with 22" reps

Lots of guys run wheel spacers/adaptors on 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks, so I wouldn't worry about them on a half ton truck. Just have to make sure you check the lugs on both wheel and hub to make sure they don't get loose on you. And being hub centric isn't neccessary, lug centric will work just fine with any conical seat aluminum wheels

saw the thread... thought I'd get a pic of the adapters I took while having the wheels off for my lowering job.

Glad I finally found this thread. Been searching for some more info on this. I just ordered a 2/4 drop for my 01 RBSC silverado and was wanting to go with the 20" TBSS wheels with adapters but was a bit worried about them setting the wheels out too far. But that looks pretty good on yours! So now I guess I'm in the market for some tbss wheels.
