Default Thinking About New Wheels...Suggestions

Thinking about a change and looking for suggestions.

Ok. I've had my Chromed CCW 505s for a couple years now and have put about 5K miles on them

Open to anything except probably Black Wheels.

I'll be the first to step up and help you offset the cost of new wheels/tires by giving you $500 for your old crappy wheels.

I like the C10's. If only my money tree in the back yard would grow some more.

The problem is that there are just too many great choices in wheels. It took me months to settle on a set of IForged TE-5S's in Anthracite for my Quicksilver metallic '01z. Its great fun but it drives you a bit crazy.

Ruff makes some nice looking wheels, as does I-forged. I really like the looks of the deep dish OEM style five spoke wheels that have recently come out.

I doubt you will want reproductions after having those, but we have them.

Here are pics of some of my customer's vehicles. Not the same colors, but the wheels aren't black.
