Chevy & GMC Vans

I am like a woman with her shoes, and I'm looking to pick up some new rims this spring for the astro. I was just curious what you guys think about these rims, American Racing Torqlite. I am kind of leaning hard to the Gray, polished lip. I am tired of the all polished look/cleaning, salt on the roads etc. So I was thinking about going 18x7 with 235/50-18's... Thoughts?

All Polished with tire

Basically what its going on, a photoshop of the van.

i think they would look, perfect, i have never been a fan of the big gaudy chrome 20s and such, i my self have a set of simple chrome american racing deep dish 15s, but still run my stock alloys in the winter months with some nice snow tires, and i was planning to paint them in a similar paint scheme when i put the summer wheels back on. i also have the same rear valence that you have pictured there, mine is just in black primer at the moment but once i get further along in school i get to paint it as one of my projects. hopefully i will have her all shaved and painted by the summer.

My only concern is the gray w/ polished lip how its gonna look on dark blue. They also have it in light silver as wheel with a polished lip.


Silver with polished lip.

I personally think they are a nice looking wheel (the gray ones) and will look sharp on your van. In my honest opinion the light silver ones look cheap to me...

I dig em. The gray rims are better in my opinion. I think They would look good on your van.

I hate to jack your thread, but this is kind of similar.
But, What are the stock measurements for the 15" astro van wheels?
I was looking into some new wheels, but I was thinking I'd like to just get 15" that bolt on.

The stock tire size is 215/75-15, not sure on the width, 6.5 maybe?

I will have two pairs of rims for sale shortly, American Racing 15" rims, and Boyd Coddingtons 17" rims.

I like the polished ones the best. I am usually not into wheels, but after seeing the pic of someone's van I am having second thought. I may need some Impala wheels.
