Capt,
Some popular brands are: Weld Racing, Centerline, Eagle, Budnik or American Racing. There are many others but if you do a google search on any of these I'm sure you will find some 8 lug wheels that you might like. Even do a search on this forum and something will pop up. Good luck

Hey Capt'


I have a full set (5) stock Alcoa rims. I'm thinking about selling them to get a slightly larger rim. Finding what you want in an eight lug is not easy. Forged, yep... any rim of mine must be. I am afraid of the cast type "cracking" under a heavy load, it just scares hell out of me. :eek: Looking good is not as important to me as being wise. ;)

I'm also considering going to wider wheels and tires.

Could all that have come up with a great looking set of beefy wheels/tires chime in and show us your stuff?

Hoot:

I went with American Racing Atlas wheels in a 16x8 (see pics), but now that I'm running 37's I wish I'd opted for 10 inchers. I'm thinking about an upgrade to the Weld Stone Crusher or Mountain Crusher in a 16X10...awesome looking rims!

If I do that, I'll have the set of 5 Atlas rims for sale at a really good price!

Hey Capt'


I don't know what to ask for five rims. Do you think 850.oo is too much? E-mail me if you think that's fair.

Check my pics for the Budnik 8-lugs. They're the Mercury-8's in 17"x8", and are billet wheels. Budnik, as far as I know, makes wheels "special order only".
