These used to be the wheel to have 50 years ago. They were popular for a long time. I know most of you guys don't like chrome. I just wonder how these would look on an X. That is old school right there. What do you think?

They are 18x9 or 20x9. Offset is +35. They mention 6.5 inch back space. I have no clue what that means. They also come in black.

Offset will work! It will be about 1/2 more to the outside than stock, and the your stock tires will fit the 18's but for me I say go 20s it will fill the wheel gap better! OH AND GO BLACK!

Thanks. Discount tire says that I can have them with no money down and no interest for 6 months. Which is cool cuz I don't have any money.

Those wheels were Powdercoated, a lot stronger and more durable than paint. For those on a budget, plastidip has a glosifier and could get the same effect! Although the stuff can be a pain to get right

Thread jack! I have done some research and it isn't easy to get great results unless you do it right, check out the YouTube videos from Dipyourcar!

I can't believe that you did. I love chrome. Chrome won't get you home but is fun to polish.

The novelty wore off for me, it's still a love hate relationship and changes from week to week, in the end it whatever you want and unfortunely for me I can't make up my mind. I have more shoes for my truck than I do for my feet :hmmmm2:
