wheels idea?

[Archive]

I have a 92 Diesel regular cab, and white. I was wondering if there was a good looking wheel out there for this truck. I thought of looking for some 2nd gen. wheels but not real sure what they would look like. I would like to keep about the same size without spending alot of money. I am getting tired of the old solid hubcaps staring at me..... Let me know what you think.

Had a nice set of American Racing 16x8's on my previous '92.

American racing does have some nice looking rims, and you can get different sizes too. You would probably want 8 inch rims if you want them the same size. I have 10 inch american racing bajas on my truck. You can check them out on page 7 of readers rigs. It is the green/tan '93. The tires are 285/75R/16's. This size rim and tire give it a pretty stout look.

Unfortunately the wheels were on before I bought the truck, but they are modular aluminum. They have the steel insert for the cone type lug nuts and are rated for 2850 Lbs each. I wish I knew the name brand , if they weren't on then I'd have them by now. The hub caps in 89 were aweful!!!

My truck is just 2 wheel drive too. I think the bajas will look good but I need some tires to look at too... Does anyone know what the new style wheels would look like on the truck. There is someone close to me that sells take-offs for rock bottom prices and was wondering if... ... . ?

Caution:
I tried some wheels off of a '97 and found out the lugs on my '92 were too short. Would have had to re-stud all four hubs. Didn't think it worth the trouble for the gain.

Hope this helps your search.

Thanks for all the info. I will check on the stud length and decide from there.
