I was really considering the 152's also. I love the look of them.

The one drawback I can't deal with is that you can't get them in 6" backspacing unless you get them custom made. No one in Canada would be willing to do that for me, but I hear Discount Tire in the States will do it.

Do you get any more options if you look at 16" wheels? I've always thought that would look pretty good with a 31" tire.

Nope, I prefer to go with the Factory 15" sizing.

Both wheels look pretty good, and the tires look awesome. The all black pro comp wheel just looks good cause most wheels like that has a chrome center. And the second set looks nuts with the beadlocks and all.

Are those 15x7 wheels? I'm just wondering cause most people fit 31x10.50 on stock wheels with a 2 inch lift and stock rims with 6 inch backspacing. If those wheels are 15x8 they will stick out about a half inch further than the factory rims, also a half inch closer to the frame. If they are lower than 6 inch backspace, they will stick out according to the backspace number. Then the 11.50 tire will be a pinch wider. That's alot of things to think about towards fitmint problems. Keep that in mind. I'd hate to see you spend $$$$ on rims and tires and not be able to run them cause of rubbing.

But besides that, or if your not worried about that, I'd go with the second rims with the beadlocks look just for something diffrent than the plain jane style wheels alot of people run.

Ok, I know this is going to be different as by Blazer is Green and all. But, I'm wondering what about these Rims. Two pictures of the same Rim, oh the stripe on the Rim will be either Green, Black, or I'll just go over it with White.

Those look cheap to me... kind of like trailer wheels. If you have photoshop skills, get a picture of your blazer on the same angle and photoshop them into the picture. that will give you a better idea.

I don't think they look cheap. With that being said I'm way ahead of you as I already have a Photo Chop request in.
