So, I've been looking at some wheels, and have a few ideas. I'm planning on doing ford keys, 1.5in rear spacers, on a 2000 NBS Tahoe. All my choices here are 17x9, polished with 4.5in BS. If anyone knows of any good deals on sets of wheels, please let me know.

First off, Ion 148's. Found a set on ebay for about $124/wheel plus shipping.

Mickey Thompson Classic II style wheels, doesn't have to be Mickey's but just that style. Seen normally around $153.99/wheel plus shipping on 4wheelparts.com.

Dick Cepek DC-1, normally $157.99/wheel plus shipping on 4wheelparts.com.

never really liked the classic II's

I've been kind of looking around still and I'm starting to like the Gunner 6's in 18x8.5
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findWheelDetail.do?mk=&yr=2000&wd=18&pc=55256&rw=8.5&vid=005901&bp=6-139.7

Also these MB Express in an 18x9

But I'm unsure about the backspacing on these wheels. The Gunner 6's are 18X8.5 6-139.7HC25AM and the Expresses are 18X9 6-139.7 HC 18C. If anyone know's how to figure the backspacing I'd really appreciate it.

hmmm well I'm still looking around, for those who care to know. I just came across some Helo Guns 17x9 6on5.5 Chrome, Backspacing unsure as of now. So let me hear some opinions on these wheels.

I've been looking at those Gunner's on ebay. Those spots that they show in the pics is the only thing that would worry me. I can't tell if it's chrome peeling off and that it will eventually start going around the whole wheel.
