Black is overplayed. If chrome would fit your truck better go with that.

Just find some of those stock polished aluminum wheels Chevy/GMC uses. I bet there's a ton of brnd new ones sitting around after all the dorks tricked out their brodozers.

Yeah that was the first idea and there's whole companies that specialize in "take-off" wheel/tire packages from the brodozer crowd but as far as I can tell GM didn't do 18" 8-bolt OEM wheels. It goes from 16" to 20" or 22" and I don't want 20s on there and for sure not 22's.

Whaaat? They're tasteful and practical.

"Everything else on the car is pure Gremlin".

Well that's reassuring.

With that 1 year/12k warranty, why worry?

These are on my local craigslist. I'm pretty sure they're stock. https://wenatchee.craigslist.org/wto/5558221535.html There's also a set of new 16" ones for $250.

WOW. Those look really good. Iceman should get that combo.

**iceman** · 05-02-2016, 09:04 PM

Well they're pretty ugly but those are the first OEM GM 18" 8-bolt wheels I've seen and I've looked around quite a bit. Where there's one set there must be more, wonder why I can't find them?

**MagnificentUnicorn** · 05-02-2016, 09:15 PM

I think the 16" stock aluminum wheels look good, why not those?

**frorider** · 05-02-2016, 09:22 PM

This truck should meet my driving reqmts:

**Bobby Stainless** · 05-03-2016, 06:57 AM

^Cool truck, but I might like the older one more.

However, I am still partial to the 400hp Cummins in the Warrior, over the Ecoboost.

Driving requirements are for losers. This is America. Buy something that is completely ridiculous and put a Calvin sticker on the back peeing on something.

**Mazderati** · 05-03-2016, 07:26 AM

Better pic of the craigslist wheels.

**Mazderati** · 05-03-2016, 07:40 AM

Another OEM 18". These were probably optioned so less of them out there. I like these more than the old bullet holes.

Those don't suck too hard actually. Getting them shipped to the EC might be problematic, they guy doesn't sound like a genius, but maybe I can find another set around.

Beergut reflection FTW. I recall there's a site that collects Craigslist seller inadvertent reflections.

That Nissan is a heavy mofo. Good for towing though. The new Raptor lost 500 lbs despite a stronger frame, more HP and torques, new transfer case ... Has that AWD setting for hiway snow/ice driving... The practical choice for Texas commuters I'm telling ya

Do you want me to take a look at them? If you could bet the wheels and tires for under $1k the shipping might be worth it. I bet you can find something out there though.
