Hi guys, Ive been searching for rims for a while now, I currently have my oem 17" wheels on my CC with some 35" BFG MTs and a rancho 4" lift...

I just found some pro comp extreme black steel wheels that are just what Im looking for, they are awsome and I think they will look great my my white CC the size is 17x9 with 4.5 backspace...

They're usually heavier than alloy or alluminum, and rust is also an issue.

How much heavier are they? they cant be more than 10lbs or are they???

I think my white lifted truck will look sexy on them...

Well that would depend on what wheel you are compairing it to, but generally speaking they are heavier. Have you thought about black alloys or American Racing's teflon wheels? I'm just thinking they'd look better longer since you'd be avoiding any rust stains. I think steel wheels can look pretty good, but when I think about them I get images of the many jeeps I see with rust stains.

I have always liked the white trucks with black rims. I have the American Racing, Chambers black with teflon which works great. I'm also going to get black steps, probably N-fabs, in black, black Bushwacker flares and swap out my chrome big tow mirrors for the black ones.

I think your truck will look awesome with black rims too.

Those rims should work fine,and look good. I've been trying toget some price's on the 7089 that's what I'm looking at going with.
