Default Wheels

I have been searching for a set of polished 15x12 bullet holes for a 5x4.5 lug pattern and can't find any. I have found a set of black ones and they're called "black rock series". But I just can't find a set of polished ones. Does anybody know of any and if so, what're they called? And nothing like welds or anything. I'm wanting it kind of cheap but if you know any other than welds just let me know. Thanks

Why go with a 15x12 over 15x10? There's a huge selection of polished bullet hole style wheels in a 15x10. Mickey Thompson, Centerline, Eagle Alloy, Ion. All are available in Ranger bolt pattern.

I have a matte black bullet hole style which are also offered in polished. They're Ultra 164's

I just like the look of 15x12s better than the 15x10s

You're gonna need some awfully wide tires for those wheels. Running a 12.5" tire on a 12" wheel is bad news.

I understand the whole stretched look, i honestly wish I could find a 15x11 just to have a more flat sidewall for my 35's, but just saying, your bullet style is a needle in a haystack for a 15x12 over a 15x10.

Don't think about wheeling your truck with a flat sidewall like that either. You could blow a bead, and you can scratch the f*ck out of your wheels.

Yeah I wouldn't want to air that bad boy down. I'm guessing he's going for the stretched/stance "look" that people do. Gonna have a flat sidewall for sure.

I'll never understand that. Most people spend money on improving their trucks capabilities, not limiting them.

Not to mention it screws with the way the tires wear.

I originally ran my 12.5 wides on my 15x6 wheels. That was interesting, haha

I don't get it either, but it's just like everything else. Cali Lean, lowered trucks on 24" chrome spinners, or the lowered ricers with 48 degrees of negative camber. Agree to disagree.

15x6 are really slim I got 15x9 and they really look good but I'm a mechanic too and I had a pain mounting 30x10x50 tires on it what I'm trying to say is 15x10 gonna be way better for your vehicle... And the picture is with the new 31x10x50's on my smurf

Default Re: Wheels

if your getting 15x12 I would opt for a 33x13.50 tire at least.
