6 lug wheels

I’m looking for some advice on some 6 lugs wheels that are a timeless look. Found some rally’s in 18”, which I think will look pretty good, but wanted to see what everyone was running on. My truck is lowered 3-5 and it’s time to add a little more to it. Thanks for the input. I’ll post a picture of truck in a little bit

Re: 6 lug wheels

I have reverse chrome wheels, but want to change back to stock rims with hub caps or 15" Rallye Wheels.

Re: 6 lug wheels

There just aren't many options for 6 lug wheels. Anything newer has too small a hub pilot hole.

Best thing you can do IMO (and what I did) is swap to 5 lug. I did the ECE 5 lug disc conversion which is $100 cheaper than the 6 lug then used the savings to go towards a 5 lug rear axle which I found for $150.

Then you have real options when it comes to wheels.

Re: 6 lug wheels

Thanks for all the reply’s, right now the truck sits on rally’s with baby moons. Want to go try and go with a bigger size rally like a 18- or 20 but not sure

I just put these wheels on my 70 step. Only I used the flat center caps.

We do. I’m just looking for that particular look. I think I found a truck on Instagram that has them in 20s not really sure if I like them or not. I’d like to see the 18s comparison.
