Modern wheels - Classic 4x4
2 Attachment(s)
Anybody have good examples of newer style wheels for our trucks? Let's face it, some of the newer wheels just DON'T look appropriate on our classic trucks!
The Mickey Thompson's Classic II and Classic Locks are two styles that look great (and the prices can't be beat)... what else? I like these RBP's also (cost at least twice as much as MTs) although I'm still trying to decide if they fit the look...... (I prefer the left one) The more I think about it... I don't think the right one would fit the look. Also, they're both chrome and I think probably too 'shiny'. Polished aluminum would be better. |

Re: Modern wheels - Classic 4x4
I like "old style" wheels on old trucks. The newer blingy one's don't look right to me. I'm running old school American Racing slots. At least they're 17 inchers! http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...o/P1010169.jpg

I like my Eagle Alloys..but to me it's not about the rims,it's about tires capable of getting you through rough terrain..These ain't no little 2wds an inch of the ground that will only see pavement :)

Re: Modern wheels - Classic 4x4
I like the ones K14burb and 1969k10stepside posted. I also really like the old hurricaine or is it turbine style rims on these trucks (the style on the General Lee Charger).
Here are the cheapies I have on my K20. http://yukon.b0xen.us/69chevy/tire01.jpg |

I actually checked Ebay for a while trying to find some original slots or better yet some turbines. I finally settled for some AR-23s and mounted the 35s that the truck came with. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c231/fatdonyo/66.jpg Then when I stole the 37s off my '97 burb I had to get some 17s. I like the slots but plan to use some factory 17" Dodge steel rims whenever I do the 14bolt and 3/4 ton stuff in front. Bling just doesn't look right to me on an old truck. |
Re: Modern wheels - Classic 4x4
I think you should never go more then a 17in wheel on a 4x4. After that they start looking wierd plus it takes away from being able to air down when needed.

You know why modern wheels don't work don't ya........ NO DEEP DISH.
IMO on any pickup anything bigger than a 17" in most cases doesn't look right. Nothing looks tougher on a truck than a deep dish rim, my 2wd pickup has deep dish wagon wheels and I get knocked all the time about not having bling bling wheels or cause I have deep dish wheels. I kill to have a set of vectors or slots or those Mickey Thompson Challengers (doh my keyboard is filling with drool). I have settled on getting a set of stock 16" rims widened and chromed when I get the $$$ I know its not a 4x4 but..... |

The Mickey Thompson Challengers are cool i dont know if I like the wheel that replaced them or not. I would like to see the black ones on a truck.

Re: Modern wheels - Classic 4x4
Earl one of my buds has those black wheels on a F150. He likes them but I think they'll be out of style by the first time they need polished.

Re: Modern wheels - Classic 4x4
rick-- yup, that would be the ones!

Re: Modern wheels - Classic 4x4
What do you guys think of the H2 wheels? They look a bit like the turbines. (Alloy ones).
|
Re: Modern wheels - Classic 4x4
I think there an ok wheel but i dont like the way the center looks on them you can tell they were ment to have a cap covering the hub.
toomanytoyz let me know if rick passes on them. |

I really like Welds. Stone crushers come to mind first. I had a set of the centerlines one time with the star in the center and the ribs around the rim. Those were my favorite but can't get them in the size I need.

Re: Modern wheels - Classic 4x4
I wish Wels still made Outbacks.

Re: Modern wheels - Classic 4x4
Like this Earl:
http://www.norcalbigdawgs.net/Galler...5/100_0943.jpg H1 Recenterd with inserts (double bead lock) I bought just the pressed centers from USA6x6 and PacificFab here in Cali did the re-centering for me. FYI ~ If any of you EVER decide to buy from USA6x6 do NOT ASSUME they will get your order to you fast, they take for EVER, I mean MONTHS to get wheels or parts. Some guys have waited 6months only to have problems with the order and ship um back and forth...took me 2 months to get 5 centers and 5 inserts..when my order came it only came with 4 centers and 5 inserts..another two months down the road my 5th center finnaly showed up and I had to PM him week after week so he wouldn't foget about me. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: Great products w/shooty customer service..... |
Re: Modern wheels - Classic 4x4
Ya I wish I had pics of them on my burb house fire took care of that. I got my wheels from them one was not centered verry well and wobled I ended up geting one for half price from him and used the messed up one as a spair. It took for ever to get the first 4 but the 5th came quick. It seams like they are 50 50 with customer service. I know Stacy David from trucks was going to use him for Sgt rock and it got so bad he went to some one else for the rockwells and didnt say that the rims came from him on the show.

Re: Modern wheels - Classic 4x4
Crazy really, they could have so many more customers if they could streamline their production and stop making so many mistakes with what they build. People love their stuff once they get it and it is built right, it's getting past thoes two obsticals that kills the deal...:crazy:
