Pondering on wheels
Just pondering, not looking at buying yet or anything.
I've got a gold 01 Blazer

I'm not made of money so trying to keep it cheap but, not skip on quality.
I've found and seen pics of these two on Blazers and they don't look to bad.

I'm just lookin for a second opinion but, like I said, not buying yet (gonna try though).
I've got stock 31x10.5's on the 15x7 (I think) rims, no suspension or body lift.

Both are ugly as sin!! But hey thats my opinion, there are much better rims out there at a decent price!!! Tell you what my buddy is opening his own rim and tire shop and beats everyone's prices and yes I will be upgrading mine soon through him I will get his business number and post it up for you to be able to get a great deal!! Also shipping and handling won't be a problem cause he gets the hook up on it!!

They got ones with a 5.375" backspacing.
Isn't the stock backspacing 6?
I can't imagine that looking to bad.
EDIT: I'm not buying right away but, I suppose that'll be nice info to have. Honestly I don't know if I'm going to replace them. It'd be hard for my to save up 500 or 600 since I don't have a job yet.

Out of the 2 choices you gave I would go with the first ones. The second ones will make the truck really dated fast, as those used to come standard on 1st gen blazers.
Personally I like these, They are American Racing Chamber with TeflonĀ® (Series 3985) 1-piece painted alloy wheel (15x8 -19offset 3 3/4backspacing 5-4 1/2 boltpatten) They also come in chrome and machined alloy
OR
Nitro (Chrome) (Series 647) 1-piece alloy, chrome plated wheel (15x8 -19offset 3 3/4backspacing 5-4 1/2 boltpatten) These are popular around my area for replacing suburban/tahoe tires, I have also seen them on a blazer and they look real good.

5.375 means it would probably stick out just a tad. But dude those rims are butt ugly
