need rims and tires
Hi there. I am looking at replacing the factory rims on my 2005 Blazer ZR2. I am probably going to go with Good Year Wrangler Dura Trac tires 31x10.5x15's. Yes, I have a 2" lift. I am looking for a steel rim, black, but am having a hard time finding one close to a 6"BS as that is what the stock ones are. I do not want it to stick out too much as possible. Any ideas of make of rims to check out? Thanks guys.

powdercoat ur stock ones, or find another design of s10 stock rim and powdercoat them. its the cheapest and strongest way to go. just an idea. s10s came with a lot of different designs. if u have the "blocky" looking wheels, they would look awesome powdercoated a satin black. and really ez to clean.

I generally run black rims myself. I've done that since the early 70's. They don't show brake dust as bad. I like to find the spare tire rims. These are usually plain silver wheels. Get some rust-o-leum black paint and a brush and paint them. It holds up pretty well. Paint the center hubs on the axles and use some chrome acorn style lug nuts (they don't rust to the studs) and you have a unique look that doesn't draw the eye from any paint work you might do.

Hi. It has been over a year now since I got the new rims and tires. My tires are Good Year Wrangler Duratracs and the rims are Procomp steel rims with an offset of 4.75. I think that was the offset. There were a few I was able to choose from. I got them through a local shop. I would go online to Procomp and have a look. I had no issues with rubbing either. They look great.
