I am having some trouble locating some decent all black or mostly black rims with more than 5.5" backspacing.

Anyone have a line on some good ones?
I'm going for a kind of industrial look. I like stuff like the moto 957s
and whatnot. I don't like the little skinny spokes like the xd hoss and
equivalent. No h2 with PC.

HELP!!!

 

Well, you eliminated my two suggestions. Do you like any other of the XD series like the Enduro's?

Weld and KMC are two of the only manufacturers I know of offering 5.5 - 6.5" backspacing ranges.

Have you seen the Hoss's in person? The spokes aren't nearly as "skinny" as most of the pictures I've seen make them look...at least for a 17x9 8-lug rim.

try atx vice black with mach lip

 

I have these pro comp ones I really like them, they have 5.5" of back spacing..

 

Very good looking wheels. Not something that I would put on my current rig. But I really like those. Check out www.Racelinewheels.com

 

Try Mamba Offroad Alloys, they have 5.25 to 5.5 bs, in different sizes. I dont know how there rated, I like the look and will going on the rig next year or so.

 

i have the xd hoss in 18 and they are awsome i will try to get a picture of them on my truck 17 look too small and goofy 20 look like wagon wheels but 18 on 325s look dang good imo

 

I have the XD Monsters which are 5.7" backspacing. The Jesse James Black Widow is 5.75".

 

I just got a set of Ballistic Hostels in 18x9 w/ 10mm offset. That should compute out to about 5.5" of backspacing.

 

I just got some Ballistic Hostels also, 18 x 9 but with the +22mm offset. They just got mounted on some Toyo 35's yesterday. They go on the truck Monday after the freight truck shows up with my Carli 2.5 system. The Carli guys said this wheel should work out well. Pics go up after the install.

 

I would like to see what they look like since those are the ones I actually ordered. The 22mm offset ones are teh ones they thought they got but I noticed the box a few day later said 10mm on them.

 

anyhting besides hd/kmc rims..theyre junk and the warranty is only til ya my em or put a tire on em..then yer on yer own..they suck

 

Hey Strick, it was your past posts and pics that made me decide on the Hostels. I even reminded the shop guys to double check the offset when the wheels showed up. I'm sorry that I didn't take a pic after they mounted the Toyo 35 MT's, but I will post a pick after the Carli 2.5 system is installed. The wheels and tires are sitting in the shop now, just waiting on the Carli shipment to show up (promised on Monday). Also gonna do a single 7" stack while the Carli system is installed. I can't wait!

 

Oh, almost forgot, have a brand new Smarty still in the box and wrapped in plastic, when all the other stuff is done, I will plug it in! Give me a month or two, and I will be upgrading the tranny to handle all these mods! Of course pics will follow.

 

Cool, sounds like it will look good once you get it done.

I am happy with the 10mm offset and really liked them as soon as they were put on buy once I found out they weren't the ones I ordered I have always wondered what the 22mm ones would look like.
