Time for some New Wheels

OK I have found some I really like and are at a nice price too but I don't know much about them. I wanted to see if anyone has wheel from Gear Alloy or knows someone and what you/they think of the wheels.



715MB Off Road / Lifted


The ones I am looking at just in case the link gets messed up are the Gear Alloy 715MB Recoil wheels.


Thanks for your feedback.

I like the Black with machined accents look on that wheel and I think they would look good on a lighter colored truck.

Drew,

I'm a little leery of thsoe wheels. I've never heard of them, and a Google search didn't turn up many reviews.

Have you looked into these:
ProComp:
Pro Comp Xtreme Alloy Wheels - Gloss Black, Cast Blast, Polished, HD Chrome, Flat Black

This is why I came here and wanted to see what other people thought or turned up. My main shop is looking into them for me too but they were recommended to me by a very respectful wheel shop here in town.

I kind of agree with you but they are almost exactly what I have been looking for to go under my silver truck with the black trim at the bottom. I always prefer to try and see things installed on something before I buy but its hard to see wheel because so many styles are out there and everyone has different tastes.

Are you still using Vince and the boys at 4WD?

I ran across BMF Wheels while browsing the SuperDuty forum tonight.

There are a couple of silver SCrew F150s in their Ford Gallery.

Of course I love those guys. That is who is currently looking into it for me but I got a price from Tire Max not too far from you on Brook and those guys one of my trades uses and he won't by wheels from anyone else and swears by them.

TireMax...is that the place with the knockoff ATV's out front? I only ever see large SUVs with HUGE rims over there. Not that it says much really, just pointing that out.
The only advice I'll give is, don't cheap out on wheels. Much like tires, probably more important than tires, is to get a good set of wheels from a reputable manufacturer. There's other ways to save money.

True but they are a few good wheels that fall just under $200 a wheel.


And yeah Tire Max does have a lot of 24 and 28" wheels so you do end up seeing lots of hummers and other big SUV's in there. But they are a quality wheel store and one of the less expensive ones in the Richmond area for what they sell.

I would honestly check out 4wheelonline for your wheels. That's were I bought my Monsters and they had the cheapest price of ANYBODY online. When it comes to finding the cheapest prices, I don't skimp out. I look until I'm sure I found it and they had em. I would check out Eagle Alloy Wheels. They have a lot of wheels with similar styles to the one you linked and they're only about $165 each for 18"s with free shipping.

Really great store with unbeatable prices on a lot of items.

Truck Wheels, LOWEST PRICE on Truck Wheels and SUV Wheels

They are nice but that are 20's which would mean new tires too and I am not in the market for new tires. Plus by the time I had them shipped to VA I could of bought a brand new set for less. I hope you find a home for them soon.

Thanks I hope to find someone for them soon too. I figured it was a long shot but I figured I would try.
