Tristin Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Are Rotas your only options? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Well they aren't terrible and they aren't all blingy chrome. If your truck is dark color get the darker shade so the rims aren't as noticeable. Paint your calipers red and darken the rear drums. Quote Link to comment
JoeCool Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Depends on the color of your truck. But I like the first style. And price is reasonable too. One question? Do they come with centercaps? Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I'm going to need a pic of the car. Gunmetal is far less blingy so I'll likely choose it. Both are quite loud though. But they will be very nice to clean! Quote Link to comment
gryffinwings Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Sorry for taking so long to get a picture up, anyways here it is, I think it's sort of a bluish grey or something, I don't know what the color is called, I was looking at getting the gunmetal myself. I don't know where to get other colors beside flat black and gun metal, which is all I'm seeing at wheeldude.com. Also, I'm looking for an appropriate offset for my truck as well, the ones listed are at 0 offset, so I'm not sure if that will work well. Quote Link to comment
gryffinwings Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Hmmmm.... I did forget to post what I have. Sorry about that. It's an 84 Nissan 720. Quote Link to comment

gryffinwings Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Nope, it's an 84. Quote Link to comment
Robert Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 You will need larger back spacing for them. I got 15s and 8" wide rear and 7" wide fronts. BOTH front and back will rub your fenders...especially the back since you dont have a rear sway, everytime you turn off the road or where it is uneven, the axle will tilt and eat your tire walls and put cuts in your tires. rear needs 5" back spacing (8" wheels) and front will need 5.5" back spacing for same wheels. Photos of my wheels.... Rear is a 15x8" rim with 3.7" backspacing. I chose this for the look. IF you wanted them to fit in the wheel well you will need ATLEAST a 5" backspacing. Measure and see how much room you have on the inside. Front is a 15x7" with a 3.6" backspacing. For an 8" wheel you will need ATLEAST a 5.5" back space....then you will scrub your wheel well inside....test fit them and see or measure if you know how. Below is the inside view....room for more backspace to fit an 8" wheel inside the rear....doubt you could stuff one up front and not hit. Quote Link to comment
