I love and always have loved the Cheyenne 8s.
IMO I've always thought that as long as your tires are twice the size of the wheels then they'll look good.

The Cheyenne 8's are the best looking ones I think too. Only thing, more than likely the Cheyenne 8 is for 8 lugs, the 6 for 6 lugs, and 5 for 5 lugs. So you will have to run the 6's.
I don't know if you've purchased the lift yet for the truck, but I've seen the procomp go for 999 on ebay at a store called lift kit kings. I was thinking about lifting my F-150 since nobody around here has a HD 150 lifted. I was going to go with a 35 with 18 combo. The tires are considerably cheaper going 18 than 20. Rims are about 100 more each for a 20, and tires about 75-100 more each for a 20.

The first quoted post is right unfortunately. It kind of makes me sad as I was gonna get those. I guess I could always go for the Cheyenne 6's with 35x15.50x18 Mickey Thompson Baja Claws. 6" Fab-tech lift of course.

I will say the only thing I dont like about the cheyenne's is the weight. 32lbs (yack).
I found a set on Ebay for a Titan and they were pretty cheap. Im gonna see if I can find a set for my lug pattern and then see if I can track down the weight. I'm not trying to add a ton of rolling weight to the truck... gay, yes I know.

If I'm not mistaking a Titan has the same exact pattern and backspacing as a GM truck. I know it was true for the 99-06's.

Those wheels are nice looking, but IMO way to narrow for a truck wheel, esp if the op wants a tire 15.50 wide.
I agree on the welds, they are expensive but one of my favorite truck wheels for sure. I also think anything bigger than an 18 looks stupid on a tire under 37 inches tall. I have 17's on a 35 and it looks perfect to me.
