    My brother had those same rims on a red GMC 2500 back in the day. Looked pretty sharp.

    OOOOO ... Purdy

    Needs more offset though.

    Those rims with a deeper dish would look awesome.

    I'm planning on keeping the centercap off but my summer project for the wheels will be gettiing them painted or PC bronze. I been eyeing these wheels for awhile now...always been a big fan of the 3pc wheels with bigger lip and concave look . This was the closest wheels I could find without breaking the bank (I paid $448 shipped for the wheels )

    Wow, I totally would've expected more than that. I'm looking to buy some new wheels. I guess it won't break me too bad.

    I just can't imagine that you would like more offset Tom, that's so unlike you!!
