Default Wheel opinions

I've always thought my truck would look 100 times better with different wheels, and I was wondering what all of your opinions of these

They don't look too bad, are they true beadlocks?

I'd look at the KMC Enduro's. They look great on the Rangers and they aren't being manufactured anymore so the people who have them are selling them off cheap. They didn't sell well and they had an excess of them.

No they aren't true beadlocks, but that's not that big of a deal to me. They're cheap, and my tires that I have now will fit on them so I'll save a lot of money doing that. I'm not interested in making my truck any sense of an off-road truck, I just want the look. It would make my truck look so much better

no that's a good thing, beadlocks aren't technically legal for on road use. If your not actually going to "use" beadlocks then it's unnecessary.

I'd say go for it. They look good and it's a good name behind them.

Yep that should work well - it's very typical aftermarket backspacing for guys around here.

Cool. I noticed on the center caps, there are screws, and on the wheel, there isn't a spot for them..and the center caps said they would fit any wheels with serial number ending in 65, which those wheels do..so, what would I have to do to get those center caps to go on?

I don't think those are made for the basic steel wheel your talking about. Steel wheels typically only use the standard 'push-thru' style.

I think those are only for a couple of the alloy Pro-Comp wheels (7031 & 7032 series).

I found the following: Fits wheel series 7031 and 7032 style with part number ending in 65 and 73.

Yeah that's what I found too, but I don't like the looks of any of the push through ones that I saw, but I'll take a closer look

Yeah, that's a pretty standard price for those steel wheels - the $100 specials.

They typically don't move on price very much.

Would my tires on my 15x7 rims fit on 15x8 rims?
