Check them out! I really really like them, and I think they will look fantasic on my truck! They cost a little more then what I have bugeted, but I can save a couple hundred more.

I am getting 18"x8 in the front, and getting 18"x9 in the back!

Comments? Opinions?

I drive a 2002 Blue Chevy Xtreme for those of you that don't know.

Update: Added the tires I am thinking about buying. I think they will look good with the wheel, and on a truck. :D
 
There pretty good. I've seen better but those are defintally not the worst I've seen. Good Choice.
 
Post a couple that you think are better! Maybe I will change my mind. These are just the ones I have fel in love with out of all the ones I have seen. Maybe you have seen something I haven't! Remember that is the type of wheel I want.

Deep dish, nice big lip, 5 basic spoke. In my opinion simple, is clean. Less=More.
 
All I'm saying is damn what a good choice. Also, who made them, case they look like Neepers.
 
IMO the Pentia 5's look better.

They certainly look cleaner, both are great though!
 
Arelli Assassin Rims are sweet. Look into them
 
Hmmm, can anybody shop those wheels into a pic of the truck, just to get a rough idea of what they'll look like??
 
They look cool Magic, Josh's look cool too but either would look great on an Xtreme. I'd like to get an Xtreme truck when I turn 16. My parents said they'd buy me anything I wanted. They said no sports cars though, they think I'd kill myself.
 
Somone can chop those wheels onto this Xtreme if they'd like. It's not blue though, couldn't find a blue one. :odd:

Assassins? Not only do those look idiotic, but they're on just about every damned hopped-up Honda in New York. Two fat spokes: it was nice once, but only once.

Agreed.

I like Assassins about as much as I like a set of 13" Daytons.:rolleyes:
 
why would you put those on a Honda???? there ment for trucks.

They do look cleaner, but I like the contrast on the wheels I picked. Just adds a certain accent that just grabs my attention.

They are made by a company called "Intro" out of cali. Really nice people, (spoke over the phone) they make the wheels custom for your vechile, using the manufacturers specs. Made to order... so I would get them 5-6 weeks after ordering. (that includes shipping time.)

Here is their website if you want to check them out.
 
Magic - do you like the wheel on their home page? It's sorta like the one's you chose.

Either way...the wheel you like will look badass in 18" on an Extreme. Damn near all of those wheels would look good. Maybe not the smoothie's...or the ripple...or whatever they're called.:odd:

Yeah that one is called the Vista, the one I have in the thread is the Vista II. I just like how the contrast is seprated in the Vista II's.

The postive feedback with in this thread has gotten rid of any doubts (very little) I had! Thanks guys! I will post the pics as soon as they are on. A couple months for sure. So don't look for it tommorrow, or the next day...

Err, oh, wait, i mean, nice wheels Magic. :lol: Just not my style...;)

Good news!

Looks like I am getting back more then I thought. I might be able to buy them outright.

Alright, Thursday it is!:p


Kidding.
 
How about these tires? They are called Kumho ECSTA Supra 712. Tirerack.com is selling them for increditable price for the size I am looking for. 245-40-18 I was pretty impressed with the wet traction, considering I live in Florida. Plus from what I read on net from people that have these tires, there aren't to many complanits.

Just wondering if someone knows of a tire that can compete with this price.
