Love these......and these are the wheels I want. The offset kinda worries me though whether they'll work. If I'm thinking correctly these would stick out further than stock which is exactly what I want. I want a wider stance but I'm not sure exactly how much further they'd stick out. I want to try and make these work though because I love the look.

Size: 18 x 10
Bolt Circle: 8x6.50
Offset: -25mm
Back Space : 4.52

Damn!!! I like those! They are 3.5" wider than the stock PYOs though so their gonna stick out quite a bit. I don't have the info on the stock backspacing dims though. What do they run?
 
$205 each with free shipping which I think isn't a bad deal really. They remind me of Convo Pro drag wheels.

I found an offset calculator and I think I read somewhere that stock wheels were +28mm offset and they're 6.5 wide so if I put that in there I pick up 9mm of clearance on the inside and 97mm wider on the outside which is almost 4". I'd have to see but I'm thinking I could live with that pretty easily. I want the wider stance. That's quite a bit though.
 
No way man. A Solid Wheel like that, with almost NO Cutouts, AND Chrome. :eek:

I sent them an email to see if they can tell me the weight. Want to make an avatar bet how much they weigh? Closest without going over picks the others avatar for a week. :D
 
I look at parts buying like hunting and the hunt is normally the best part of the whole ordeal. That being said....I'd love to have that rim in the picture but my gut keeps telling me those aren't going to fit. I talked to a guy at a wheel/tire shop Monday and he was pointing me towards XD's. To be honest with you I haven't seen 1 XD rim I really like. His point was if I buy the Ultra's ( he called them cheap Ultra's) in a years time I wouldn't be happy with them because the finish would go away due to me running them year round.
That got me to thinking. I'm gonna be hard on any rim I get because I use my truck as a truck. It'll be axle deep in mud for most of the winter hauling me up trails to get to my tree stands. Now I'm thinking why not go with a really cheap painted rim and pull them every couple of years and have them powder coated? I'm also thinking about staying with a 16" rim mostly because the tires are waaaay cheaper than 18's and I get more sidewall with the same size tire.
I might change my mind 10-12 more times between now and when I actually buy them but the cheap rims seem to make the most sense for me. I'd hate to destroy a nice set of rims going up logging roads.
 
Ultra makes a good Wheel, and they Stand Behind it if something should happen within the Warranty Period.

I had Ultra on my Truck, and the Owner of the Speed Shop that I Deal with has them on his Truck, and he Lives on a Farm, so they are always Covered in Mud & Crap, and when he Washes his Truck (about 3x a Year) they always Look Brand New.

I REALLY like those wheels....that offset is what worries me on those. I sent a couple of emails to rimzonline or whatever it is that carries them but never heard back from them. The other thing I'm getting is sticker shock from the price of tires.....I just have a hard time spending that much jack on tires.
 
If you're that worried, get some of the American Racing Teflon coated wheels. They rinse off with water, and look awesome, even if they were coated with mud.

Yep, I got AR Teflon Wheels on my Truck now, and they are Great. Haven't been Waxed 1 Time, and Clean up like New with a Car Wash.
 
My captain has those on his F250. Been on there for years still holding up great. They've gotta be hell on brake temperatures though. No ventillation....:firedevil:
