Hello all,

I have a lowered Blue GMC short Wide Bed and I am in the market for some new rims. I am after a more pro-touring style look for the truck. I really like the look of a gray 5 spoke rim with a chrome lip but want to stay away from 338's and Ridlers as I feel they are the go to 5 spoke gray rim for any classic truck or muscle car.

Here's a link to see a photo of my truck. http://s350.photobucket.com/user/der...rfuyl.jpg.html

As for style of rim, I like as little of a ledge as possible on the barrel of the rim. So I really like when the spoke meets the barrel with as little of a ledge as possible.

My Favorite (but also the most expensive) are US Mags Standard U202. $2,600 rims only

My second favorite is the Billet Specialties Mag G but also on the more expensive side. $2,2000 rims only

I also like the American Racing CLASSIC TORQ THRUST II as they are price friendly and look sharp. $1,200 rims only

Another option cheaper than the US Mags and Billet's but pricier than TT2 are the Rocket Racing Booster in Gray. $1,600 rims only

As a complete curveball, as they fit the pro-touring look well I also really like US Mags Rambler U111. My concern here is that they are not as much of a timeless rim as the others mentioned above but with a price tag at about $1,000 for the rims I am strongly considering going the less traditional route.

Finally, the Boyd Junkyard Dog is another solid option as they are going for a good price on Jegs. $1,000 for rims only

I would appreciate any and all opinions and advice as this is a big purchase for my truck. I want something you don't see on a C10 everyday so I am after originality. But I also don't want to settle for the most cost friendly rim (i.e. TT2) when it has some styling features I am not in love with (i.e. larger chrome ledge on barrel of rim.)
