Question Stingray III Question for GMC Sierra Z71

Do you guys think this is a good deal?

http://www.cloviscustomwheel.com/?specials

20 inch Centerline Stingray III

set of four 20 inch Stingray III's, Snipers, Champ or Rapid with Goodyear 275/45/20 or 285/50/20 tires
$1450!!

They are recommending that I go with the 285/50/20 tires on my stock Sierra which rides at stock height. I maintain that I need 275/45/20 to keep everthing the same on the truck. I do not plan on lowering my truck. I just like the look of ACDENALI's truck.

From a looks perspective do you guys have any opinions or perspectives that will help me out? I would appreciate a hand here. This sounds like an awesome price. Thanks.

It's a decent deal until you consider shipping. Those rims/tires are about 65lbs or more per mounted wheel and tire. That's somewhere between $100 and $200 for shipping. I paid $1700 for some 20" Centerline Archers with 275/45 Goodyears when they first came out. So they have dropped in price considerably. Have you gotten price quotes from within your town.....cause Clovis, Ca is a long way from you.
As far as the tire size goes....the 275/45/20 will give you the same diameter as stock thus not affecting the accuracy of your speedometer. The 285/50/20 is not much taller than stock but I don't think it will mess up the spedometer much. Go with the tire size YOU want. Don't let them push you into making the decision for you. Good luck and welcome to the LS1Tech Boards.

It's a good deal only if they are Chrome. I got my chrome stingrays III with the Cooper 275245/20 for $1.600 tax included at a local wheel/tire shop.

275/45 made my 20's look like 15s on my truck

yea im buddies with the owners of clovis custom thats a good deal but by the time you pay for shipping it will probably be more then the wheels. honestly i dought they will even mess with dealing with having to ship them to you

I like my stingray III's, they are great wheels...very light. I have 245/40/20 Hankook tires mounted on them though.

I would say that price is a little high

I was just wondering if you have ever put them on the scale.

I got 51 lbs on a bathroom scale mounted and balanced on a hankook 245/40/20 tire...in comparison the stock steel wheel with a 255/70/16 tire was 60 lbs.

If you really want Centerlines go to the Wheel Deals section of their website. I just got a set of 20 inch Stingray IIIs for $862 shipped. Ordered them two weeks ago and they showed up last Tuesday. Now to get tires. I'm looking at 275/45-20 Falken STZ 04s. Local dealer quoted me $765 out the door. Just a little more than everyone else wants for Goodyear Eagle LS.
