While the goal for most sports cars and luxury sedans is to choose aftermarket rims to make the car look sleeker and faster, the goal of most owners with trucks is to choose 8 lug wheels that add to the look of power, stability and performance.
However, unless the owner is strictly looking for off-road durability, the need for aftermarket 8 lug wheels is also to add a touch of style to the vehicle. These wheels need to stand out, to give the truck character and to also make the truck look great no matter where you may need to drive.
When looking at the most popular options in aftermarket 8 lug wheels, you will definitely see a pattern. These wheels are unique, stylish and definitely more substantial than the wheels made for passenger cars and other types of vehicles.
New Design Options
Top retailers and online dealers offering 8 lug wheels will strive to provide their customers with the best selection of these wheels from the top brands. Lexani, Diablo and Red Dirt Road (RDR) are very popular brands offering these types of durable, solid and strong looking wheels that use the latest in alloys and technology.
New design options in these 8 lug wheels take them from clunky and chunky to highly stylized. You will find the standard six and eight spoke types of designs, or you can also find the more elaborate double spoke options that are a hallmark of the Lexani brand. These tend to range from the twenty-two to twenty-eight inch size, but there are companies offering a thirty-inch wheel as a standard option.
Colors and Considerations
In keeping with the more rugged look, 8 lug wheels tend to include the black and chrome or all chrome wheels as some of the most popular. Machined chrome is also a good choice, and provides a matte finish rather than a highly reflective surface.
Other options to consider in include the black and orange, green or machined chrome look, which adds that extra touch of color. These are a great addition for a sporty truck while the chrome and black adds that classic touch.
Another option to consider in 8 lug wheels is more of a mirror center type of effect. This adds a lot of flash both when the wheels are in motion and when they are stopped, and new technology keeps the chrome look terrific even with heavy use.
