Thanks for the feedback. After much thought and reading, I wound up with a set of 16x6 8 lug x 6.5 dexstar wheels. The offset is 0 so the backspacing should be about 3 inches which should fit without any spacers. It was a toss up for me to go with conventional wheels or a wheel called the tri-oval. I really like the look of the tri-oval so that's what I ordered. Plus they are powder coated (both sides) AND the shipping was free making the price about $200 for all 4 wheels. I did not get a spare... Maybe I should of....hummmm.

I will be ordering a set of Cooper tires hearing good results from them AND they are American made.

I'll post some pics when I get them.

Thanks much...

PS, so far, the best price I found on a set of Cooper is about $625 for 4 tires and shipping. I think that was with discount tire.

I'm still looking, but with oil prices, don't think I will find anything less then $130 a tire.....

Thoughts??
