K5 K10 17x8 or 17x9 vision Cheyenne Aluminum rally wheels?

[Grit dog]

These are a new offering within the past year from what I can gather. The few wheels I can find used that have a center bore that the 4 inch front hubs will clear are either dirt cheap and immediately sold or 10 inch wide which I don’t want or rusty 15” rallies for $400+ firm.

So far they haven’t charged me tax, which would add nearly 8 to 10% to the total price.

I like the Mag slots, but they are a lot more expensive.

I know they’re a fairly recent offering. Didn’t exist when I was looking for wheels for the K20 a few years Ago. I’d assume they’re fairly popular and seem like a great value for what they are.
Especially compared to the us mags expensive and really expensive options. Cheaper than equivalent steel rally’s too.

Got an email from them. The 17x8 wheel 0 offset are on 60+ day back order. They offered the 17x9 wheel but -12mm offset is in stock. Hmmm…

I'm sure these are the same and just a center cap sticker change made for Summit. They're showing in stock too

As far as cost, you cant beat em at that price. I spent $300 EACH on 2 15x10 rallys about a year ago from Wheel Vintiques. I could've bought a whole new set of 4 for a little more $$$ and saved close to 25 lbs of rotating weight-but these weren't out then.

Yep, if you zoom in on the third photo, it says 54vision

I’m just going to wait for the 17x8 0 offset. The 17x9 -12 mm would probably be fine but I like the look of 285/70R17 on 8” wheel. Don’t think the 9” would look bro-dozer wide but the front tires already stick out from the fenders with my current 8” wide wheels. I’ve thought about adding wheel spacers to the rear since those are so tucked in but have heard to avoid wheel spacers.

Found a too good to pass up deal on some used BFG KM3 mud terrains. At 67lbs per tire I’ll need all the weight savings of the aluminum wheels. Will see how the 305 responds to them going from 31.5 10.5 R15 + steel wheels. Gear ratio is 3:73 and 700R4 has that nice low first gear compared to my 79 k10 with the th350 but I have double the hp and tq in that truck with the new blueprint400.

If it's an original, these K series rigs came from the factory with a LOT of positive Camber......like 1 to 1 1/2 degrees! A common gripe was "my tires are wearing" and ALWAYS on the outsides! These solid axles were also pretty damn stout, they didn't bend unless Colt Siever was driving them! I saw this weekly, if not daily, when I was the "Alignment Technician" a the the local Chev-Cad dealership from 1969 to 1980. It's true toe is the most severe wear angle when wrong, but the Camber will do it also if left alone!

One thing that I have noticed is that for some reason, the stock size tires will tend to wear on the outside shoulder, but larger tires don't seem to. It must have something to do with the added forgiveness of a taller sidewall?
