19" intro billets

I have found some which are 20inch 8.5 wide than i thought well maybe im better off with wheels 9/9.5 wide on rear and really fill out the tub tray and make it tuff?
I dont know how big you can go on the rear of the ute or what a nice size is.

While those black ones look nice enough, for a really tough looking rim, you can't go past the old 5 spoke job (whatever style takes your fancy), with a bit of "lip". If you go an 8" rim, you should be able to get a rim that has 2" lip, and for 9", you'll get at least 3" lip. Plenty of style around, but the ones on Laminge's terry are a favourite of mine for the mix of tough and classy, plus they're 5 spoke, and have reasonable lip for an 8" rim. Pretty sure they're a Speedy rim - Envy or something like that?

For something a bit different, check out the CSA range at http://www.mullins.com.au/wheel-range-a.asp. The Raker is a pretty good looking rim and nearly found it's way on the explorer - I went the Haze instead.

Although you can't see on the pics above, they both come in 20's if you want to go that big.

Woo hoo ... I had red/black wheels on a previos vehicle (jap orientated though) .... and they looked cool.

I do like these ... the one thing that is missing on these though is DISH ... full red anodized dish would really set these off.

1 thing i miss is white lettering and that no manufacturer makes them in 16" and above... white letters is muscle car era and look damn hot on alot of low cars...

yeah best bet is to go 8" front and 9" - 9.5" rear, this is what i will be going for when i get wheels, the latter size on rear with nice 265 rubber.
