anyone seen the new silverado wheels? the ones that look like new iroc wheels? here's a pic http://www.finishlinewheels.com/CHEVY/SILVERADO+/2008/ the 20x8.5" ones. if it werent for the bolt pattern difference, they would look sick on our cars... anyone up for a swap?

a 20" wheel on a 3rd gen is hard to pull off, only seen it done well a couple times.

Do you know the offset of the silverado wheels? if its like a 4th gen offset maybe you could find some spacer/adapters to convert to 6 lug if you are really that serious about using them.

i agree that 20" is a bit big, but factory wheels tend to look smaller than aftermarket wheels.
i found some adapters, but at $100 each, and the wheels at $270 each, its not really economical for me right now...
however, one of you guys who has the cash could try it and take pics for me!
jk

basically, i saw a silverado with those wheels in the parking lot at work and thought, HEY! IROC wheels!!!

yeah, but you can never get the size perfect unless you have 20" wheels already.

20" is only 4" too big. the 16's or the 17's would look better.

you are missing the point

i mean the 16 or 17 style would look better.more manly.

RED_DRAGON_85

except that the wheels are only 6.5" wide, limiting you to 225 tires...
that and the fact that i would have to buy new wheels that are going to need to be widened, then add spacers, which arent cheap at all, and end up with a wheel that is heavier than what i started with (IROC Wheels) that are the same diameter, meaning i dont get to use better tires...

otherwise, great idea





sorry about the sarcasm

i was refering to looks, if it wasn't for the crappy size. 6.5 is what my cavalier has. and I wouldn't try to put 6 or 8 lug rims on a 5 lug. honestly I would stick with the irocs or get something really light but wider. truck rims won't give you that.

Wow, I see a wheel that looks like the single vein IROC's, one that looks almost identical to the 91/92 Z28's and one that looks like the Corvette Wagon wheels. You'd think they could have a little originality in their designs.
