I've decided to keep the current truck for awhile so one of the next things I want to do is get rid of the hideous stock AT chrome clad wheels.

Preferences:
-Polished, machined, silver (maybe), etc. I do not want chrome and I'm coming around to black. The truck is silver so I'm not sure how black would go with it anyway.
-Prefer a LIGHT forged alloy (although I've found very little)
-20" but would stick with an 18" for the right wheel. It will more than likely be wrapped in a Cooper Zeon LTZ tire.
-It needs to fit on a leveled truck. I don't have any plans on lifting the truck at this time.

Here are a few on my short list but I'm not really in love with any of them.

IF I go Black:

I really don't want chrome but I would consider Novakanes in chrome (PVD). I'm going to call them tomorrow and see if there is any chance to make a set in polished or machined (doubtful).

I briefly considered just going old school. :uhoh:

I'm hoping someone throws up some options/brands that I don't know about in with a polished/machined finish.

out of that group. I think either would look great. I don't like black wheels with a black lip, especially on lighter colors, personally. Black spokes are alright but they need a polished or machined lip, IMO.

Looks like we have similar taste in wheels....

Why not the machined Ultra Makos?

The machined come with a black lip, right? If I could get the entire wheel machined, that would be my choice over the silver. I may call them to see if that is possible.

If you buy Fuel wheels for a GM, I am going to disown you

Did you say machined with a black lip?

I just can't get into any wheel with black on the lip, personally. I like a clear delineation between wheel and tire.
