I have a '02 Chevy Silverado, it's been a work truck for a while, getting up there in mileage, and I want to make it my play truck.
I've been doing some research on different rims & tires on the internet, and can't seem to find any great deal. Even eBay isn't too great for what I'm looking for. I want those rims that are mostly black, with a little sliver of chrome here and there.
I seen them on someone's truck in Walmart parking lot once, I remember their called Motor-Metal or similar? I can't find em! It's bugging me to death.
Does anyone know what they are, or a good site to buy them or others? Thanks!

Local rim shops are too expensive, I'm a fan of online buying.

I have the same truck and i have moto metal # 951(black with chrome) I think these may be what you are looking for. I got them from www.4wheelparts.com. They have great deals and somtimes free shipping. I used a Mickey thompson baja claw radial tire and let me tell you they rock! Might not be the best tread wear ,but if its a toy truck they will be perfect. Actually i want to sell my truck and i may sell the wheels and tires seperatly. Let me know if interested? They have about 10,000 miles on them.

When it comes to big heavy spinning things attached to your truck, cheaper isn't better. You may be able to scrape by with pep boys aluminum rims, but buy good, name brand tires. You want extra ply tires for a truck (You can tell by looking at the max tire pressure rating 35psi=car tire, 44-50psi= truck/suv tire, 60-80psi= havvy duty truck tire.) Cheap tires, or car tires will give you an undesireable ride. Don't buy steel wheels, they are probably junk. If you can find an aftermarket rim where the center hole fits snugly onto the hub of your truck, that is best. If only the wheel studs hold the wheel centered, you may create a balance issue that is difficult to resolve.
