HELP with wheels ! pics please

Sooo, I had my truck at Les Schwab (local tire chain) last month and this past Sunday the front tire came off while i was going down the road. It destroyed the wheel and naturally when Weld wheels went out of business briefly they stopped making the Stonecrusher wheel I have on my truck... Tire shop is replacing all of my wheels free of charge but I am have a hard time finding a wheel I like. to add to the fun, I'm running 18" wheels. pics of what you guys are running with brand/model wheel would be helpful! I've been looking all over the internet but not much for OBS pictures. I have to get them a decision soon since I need my truck back. Thanks in advance!

Look at Raceline wheels. They make a lot of weld look alikes.

American Eagle 102 Looks like a stone crusher too

Sounds like you're looking for aftermarket wheels. I have the OEM 16" wheels on my truck. This is an old picture, but I still have the same wheels.

This is my wife, showing off the truck to her family in Germany, after we brought it home from the dealer. That's my youngest daughter in the background. She's in college now.

I just wish I could find ONE more Weld Sandstorm. With that being a discontinued wheel, it's pretty tough finding one... I have 3 brand new in boxes and if I could round up the last one I'd be in there like swim wear...

17x10 Weld Sandstorms. I believe they only came in chrome. 8x170 lug pattern.

Looks like I will most likely be getting 18x10 polished race line renegades.. We'll see what he has to say in the morning. The weld stone crushers sure were nice, it's too bad he couldn't find the elusive fourth wheel

Since you need the wheels pretty soon, your kinda stuck going with something else for now. The racelines are cool wheels though. Start keeping your eyes peeled. I have come across quite a few stone crushers in my searches for the elusive Weld Sandstorms. Search Craigslist and eBay. The Craigslist search helps if you use a Craigslist search engine that can search all of Craigslist rather than just one specific area. That's how I got the 3 Sandstorms I have now that are brand spanking new in the original Weld boxes.

Depending on where you live I'd get the chrome finish. Polished might require constant work to stay shiny especially as they age.

Agreed because I hate polishing wheels, but one thing about polished.... they can always be polished and look as good as new. When chrome starts pitting its all over. Need new chrome or new wheels.
