Billet Specialties.....the first pic is Fuelie and the second is Hiboy. I like the first one too , but it never hurts to ask for others opinion.

Definetly the first one, what sizes?

RRC 02-25-2013 08:10 PM

Re: Here we go!!!
 
Probably 20's 8's for the front and 9.5 rear. Should probably do 20's&22's though!

I have a good friend that took his race car into a pro-street touring car. He went with the feulies......and they are hot!!!!. He has 20x15 on the back, and 18's up front........defin my choice as well. His bill was right at $5k for the rims.

I hear you on that, I still like making up the big and little look with rubber, but the 20/22 has been growing on me.

big_al_71 has a set of hi boys on his truck. He has a nice thread that shows the wheels/lowering he has done throughout the years......but has hiboys on the truck now. Fuelies look great but I don't believe you could go wrong either way.

Re: Here we go!!!
 
I like the second choice better, Mostly because it is more classically styled for your truck. The more curved sides of the spokes makes the first choice a bit too modern for the styling of the year truck you are putting them on.

They are very similar, and both choices will look good but I think the straighter sided spokes complement the straighter sides of the bed and hood, especially with the straight aluminum molding running the length of your truck.

If you look closely even the profile of the first wheels spoke is very close to the second wheel, But what is different is the lighting of the two pictures. The first one has more highlights which gives it more deffinition, probably done on purpose so that they do not look identical.
