Taking [good] wheel suggestions for the cruiser. Mine are getting a little worn in the finish and I suspect they may be the cause of my tire imbalance problems. Looking for something that would look good with the “antique sage” paint (sparkly brown/gray), not cost a ton of money, preferably alloy, have large enough holes for a hilift to work off of.
Suggestions?
Specs are:
16X8
Pattern, 6 on 5.5 inches.
Backset 4.5 inches
offset zero (with an 8 inch wheel)
Chrome is OUT, black is meh.

I love level 8 tracker pros, but they are a little pricy:
FN 5 stars are a great choice because they look a lot like the stock LC wheels but just more modern and cleaner.
Stealth custom series is another obvious choice

Those aren’t bad...a little more than I wanted to spend, but very nice. I prefer a smooth dished wheel to a flat face wheel generally but I don’t mind these too much.

Happy to help, I think the flat faced ones look cleaner. Bro trucks ruined dished wheels for me, especially the ones with studs around the perimeter of the wheel.

Also, these seem pricey but they may accept your wheels in exchange. Not sure if you are interested, but here you go.

Exactly why I spent extra money to get different center caps when I replaced my wheels.
Instead of this:
I got this:
Still a little bro-ey, but the stupid oddball bolt pattern of the GMT360 left me with few options.

wish they would offer a zero offset in an 8 inch, I like to keep the tracking as factory as possible, but +.5 on width with a -6 is pretty close.

I’d be hard pressed to get too far away from those OEM wheels they just look so good. Maybe have yours refurbished rehabbed? As far as aftermarket:
My friend has a set of these on his first Gen Tundra and they are sharp.

Did you decide which wheel you’re going with? I’m in the market for a new set for my 40th too.
I thought these looked pretty good and the price is low too...
I’ve always liked the classics too except the bullet holes seem to be kind of large on the III’s
