I have a 2006 Silverado 1500 4x4 that I've been saving all year for wheels. They will be 20" wheels with 33" Nitto Trail Grappler tires. Right now I'm building a tube bumper for it. I don't plan on lifting it until (years down the road) I get full long travel suspension.
I'm having a hard time deciding which wheels to get though. For months I've been stuck on BMFs but with how spendy they are I'm looking at the Moto Metals again. They will be getting a few healthy coats of DLUX before they go on the truck. I like the BMFs because they have a true milled edge to them. Just not sure if they would look amazing on a leveled truck.

What's everyone think?
Top Left is BMF Novokane
Top Right is BMF Rehab
Bottom Right is Moto Metal 970
Bottom Left is the satin Moto Metal 970, don't really want satin but I like the overall look of the wheel.

Also if you have other wheels you think would look better let me know. I'll be ordering in a week.

I like both BMF's. Like the wheels style of the Moto's but do not like the center caps/covers on them.

Keep us posted and...pics of course!

:iagree:What would it look like without the covers?

My opinion as well. If the face of the MM was a true milled surface and they didn't have the ugly center caps they would probably be my choice, especially with a set costing $600 less.

Not sure, I'd be interested to find that out.

Eh, I really only like 6 spoke wheels. And not a huge fan of matte black. And I prefer simple, not intricate wheels. I'm kinda OCD and those wheels look like they'd take way too long to wash. I wash my pickup 1-2 times a week and don't ever spend more than 20-30 minutes start to finish.

I like the wheels that's already on the truck, rather
than any of the alternative ones you have pictured.

They are the beat up OEM ones with 241k miles on them. And I'm looking for a wider stance with the agressive tube bumper.

I'm normally a supporter of clean OEM wheels, especially the top of the line for the particular model.

That said, I'm not very familiar w/ the half ton gasser's, as I prefer the 8 lug diesel trucks, but have you looked into picking up a set of take-off LTZ or Denali wheels? If you bought a set of 20" Denali wheels, you should be able to replace the GMC center w/ Chevy ones relatively easy.

If you're set on those 4 choices, I prefer the Novakane's, but the BMF R.E.P.R's are awesome too!

You could always put a set of 1/2" wheels spacers to widen the stance a little.

Clean OEM wheels are hard to beat IMO, especially since everyother truck on the road nowadays has a set of aftermarket Black wheels (be it, Fuel, BMF, Moto Metal, etc.).

Your truck is clean for having 240k+ miles!

Thanks! And to make it even better I keep it out in front of my shop, the look on people's faces when I tell them it has 240k construction miles on it is priceless. They are sold on my detailing abilities :)
