Default How do you guys feel about these wheels for my truck?

So Im thinking about ditching my 20s all together as they seem to be .1-.2 seconds slower on average in the 1/8 mile and usually get around 1-2mpg less. Was browsing around and came across these wheels on tire rack and for 18s they seem to be pretty light at 25-29lbs/wheel.

Let me hear what y'all think!

Matte gunmetel (my first choice)



Or silver/machined




And this is how my truck looks with the 18s I have now.

I'd go with the silver... Then again I am biased; I don't like wheel and paint combos that don't have any contrast.

Normally I agree with this, the exception being black.


Is your bumper bar still black?

I agree.

The wheels in the picture are 5-lug. You gonna run adapters?
