Ok, Monday I am planning on buying wheels and tires. At least I hope so depending on what I hear from you guys.

My options that I am looking at are all Eagle 16x8 8 6.5 lugs

058 Have 4" backspacing and -11mm offset. Which I think is the best out of the group but I like the looks the least... http://www.americaneaglewheel.com/w...etail.cfm?id=23

101 Have 3 &5/8 backspacing and -20 offset. Like the looks better than the 058

102 Have 3 &5/8 backspacing and -20 offset as well. Like the looks the best.

How much are the 058 going to stick out less than the other two? And versus stock?

Any other eagles that look good and do not stick out very much?

I am just putting 285/75's on them so nothing to big....

Any pictures of your guys eagle wheels mounted

Thanks a lot

 

Dude, if you really like them Eagles then go for it. Otherwise, call Performance Wheel & Tire in Englewood. They have chrome Welds that are $500+ everywhere else for around $275. They are blems but you will not be able to detect the difference. They usually have the stems not quit centered on a spoke or something stupid that you would never notice even if someone pointed it out to you. Ask for Jarrod Newell. I sold my Eagles and was going to buy another set but after checking them out, you can't beat their deal on Welds. Better forged wheel for the same money or less than the cast Eagles.

 

Your links aren't working.

 

i have eagles, but i am not sure what the backspacing is. they came with the truck, they do stick out a bit further than stock, check my gallery, if you want another pic tomorrow let me know.

 

I've got the 058s, I really like 'em. I got mine for $88 each, and that is 16x10. I don't remember the specs on them, but they do stick out a bit, but mostly because they are wider. From my experience when I worked in at Tires Plus this spring, every cast wheel that we mounted up ran true and didn't need much weight. A lot of the forged wheels had a little bit of hop and some even had the wheel out of balance. I think the 058s look really nice, but anything that switches it up a bit is nice. I just couldn't pass up the deal on them!

 

It is my understanding that the Eagles are made in China. Is this correct? If so, I would sell my truck and walk before I put a set of them on.

Thanks guys


I would buy the Welds Dukie but with snowmobiling coming I really don't have the money to drop $1200 on rims and $600+ on tires.

I can get the Eagle for $950 mounted ready to go with Terra grapper tires.
