Wish Amazon could make it easier to report an item as mis-listed so I'm doing it here in the reviews... the Product Specifications section mentions this rims Special Features as: Diameter: 16", Width: 8", Bolt Pattern: 8x6.5", Offset: 0mm and then a few rows below it says a Bolt Pattern of: 6x5.5"... I almost clicked the buy button and would have made a 60 mile trip to pick them up and possibly had gotten the wrong rim for my Truck. Amazon please notify me when you correct this listing and confirm the actuual specs.

I bought a set for my 2007 Toyota Tacoma and I'm very pleased! Shipping was fast and rims arrived in perfect condition. Probably need to offer a mounting kit to go with them or at least mention it in the product description because my original lug nuts were too big. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase.

I got these for my 1994 GMC Sierra K1500 4X4 because the factory wheels were showing considerable wear and I wanted to update the old truck a little. I posted some pictures, the wheels are a little dirty after rain and weeks of use.

I went to the "Moto Wheel" website to verify the Amazon application listing. There were a lot of possible applications however the Amazon information that "this fits your 1994 GMC K1500" was correct.
I do not know a lot about wheel applications and offsets etc, so I called Moto Wheel to check. They told me to get a zero offset or a positive offset and said do not get a negative offset.

My bolt pattern is 6 lugs and the studs are 5.5 inches apart from center to center. The listing states the wheels are 16 X 8 /6X 139.7mm. There is a web site "[...]" where I was able to verify that 139.7 millimeters = 5.5 inches.

I ordered these wheels based on Amazon's application recommendation and they fit perfectly. I have posted pictures, these wheels have more of a lip than the stock wheels and appear to stick out a little further than the stock wheels, and it looks great. I am pleased with the wheels, the fit and appearance and the application information.

I stayed with the 16" wheels so I could maintain a good truck type tire. I looked at 18" wheels but in order to keep my speedometer accurate I would have to go to an 18" tire with a shorter sidewall. In other words to keep a simular aspect ratio I would need to get a tire not as tall. Additionally it appeared that there are more tire selections in the 16" sizes and they are less expensive. There are tire size calculators on line where you can put in the stock tire size and then select other sizes and the calculator will tell you the effect on your speedometer. They recommend something within a 3% variance. One site I found was [...]
