Edit: I found some pics of both. Awesome looking wheels!

Is this true. I wanted 18x8 for the front and 18x9.5 for the back..

I searched a LOOOONG time before i picked mine. I noticed the lighter rims were the more expensive ones and that all of the cheaper rims usually weighed a ton. I would either call or email and ask for the shipping weight of the rim until i found the right combo for me.

I have Boyd Coddington Timeless 6's and even though they are a simple design they are still a pain in the *** to keep clean and shiny. These will be my last set of polished aluminum wheels. Sure they look nice, just tired of maintaining them.

The bitch is, chrome does not stick to aluminum forever, and polished is a pain in the ***! I run Escalade rims in the winter and I think they look pretty good, not as good as my 20's, but pretty good. They also are a TON lighter and the truck feels better and runs faster on them. I'm also looking for a wheel I can run all the time, which is light yet looks good. Let me know when you find one.

can't you clear coat polished wheels to make them easier to clean?
are centerlines some of the lightest wheels out there? i'm looking for 20s myself and have heard that a 20 from them is comparable to the weight of stock wheels. i just dont want a wheel/tire combo that's gonna weigh 90 pounds.
