    So, i am trying to decide between these. Truck is at stock height right now. The first pic is 16x8. The second are 18x8 i assume although owner is not sure. I like the chrome of the second, but the size of the first. I can get first for 200, tires included and second for 100. I am leaning for the second if they fit because of the price. Any thoughts?

    Really need to know the backspacing on either set, it will save a bunch of headaches later. It might be stamped inside the back of the wheel.

    I have not seen either wheel yet as they are 2 hrs away. I am going later this week to look at them. Only prob is I wont have the truck with me when I look. I am new to the truck rehab world, but if I understand right i can fix possible issues with either boring the center or spacers?

    never easy when the wheels are two hrs away

    Updates...i dont know much about the darker rims except 5x114, but thats probably obvious. the owner of the silver bbs knows nothing about them. But gathering from the vehicle they came off (according to the owner), which is a 1996 lexus ls400. They are also 5x114 with a displacement in the 6.1 to 6.3 range. also the offset appears to be in the 38mm to 42mm range. That is based on what fits the lexus. They appear to be a possibility and i am highly leaning towards them now! especially for 100 bucks!

    what do ya think?
