Re: Wheel Opinion - 07 GMC 1500 (new body style)
The Cheyenne 8's are the best looking ones I think too. Only thing, more than likely the Cheyenne 8 is for 8 lugs, the 6 for 6 lugs, and 5 for 5 lugs. So you will have to run the 6's.
I don't know if you've purchased the lift yet for the truck, but I've seen the procomp go for 999 on ebay at a store called lift kit kings. I was thinking about lifting my F-150 since nobody around here has a HD 150 lifted. I was going to go with a 35 with 18 combo. The tires are considerably cheaper going 18 than 20. Rims are about 100 more each for a 20, and tires about 75-100 more each for a 20.

The first quoted post is right unfortunately. It kind of makes me sad as I was gonna get those. I guess I could always go for the Cheyenne 6's with 35x15.50x18 Mickey Thompson Baja Claws. 6" Fab-tech lift of course.

I will say the only thing I dont like about the cheyenne's is the weight. 32lbs (yack).
I found a set on Ebay for a Titan and they were pretty cheap. Im gonna see if I can find a set for my lug pattern and then see if I can track down the weight. I'm not trying to add a ton of rolling weight to the truck... gay, yes I know.

Those wheels are nice looking, but IMO way to narrow for a truck wheel, esp if the op wants a tire 15.50 wide.
I agree on the welds, they are expensive but one of my favorite truck wheels for sure. I also think anything bigger than an 18 looks stupid on a tire under 37 inches tall. I have 17's on a 35 and it looks perfect to me.
