Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

What do you guys think of staying with the black powder coated wheel or should I powder coat them white? My truck is an original solid red-orange (hugger) K20. I've seen lots with the stock white steel wheels but am leaning towards staying with the black.:m6:

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

I vote white.

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

Whichever you prefer really. I just got my set of 15x8 steelies for my dark green Burb and I'm wondering if I should go dark green or white. Since my truck is all dark green, the white wheels with hubcaps might look silly - I haven't decided yet. My point being, some people like the black wheels and some people like the white ones - they both look good to me. You need to pick the one you like best and get 'er done.

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

I like the black also. :metal:

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

The white always looks good , with a chrome or SS cap , black wheels look good with the painted silver or white cap or no cap .

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

Can't go wrong with black and chrome :metal:

Just a pic for ya.

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

Now that's a coincidence, I have a picture of your truck saved from when it was listed on eBay. Did you send up selling it? I sent you a message about the suburban you had just found.

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

I like both colors.

Where did you get them?

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

Sorry , not my truck should have said so.I just saved the pic for the files.

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

Very nice!
I really like black with the type of cap you have.
Really black or white look great on the 67-72 trucks.
Has a lot to do with the trucks paint scheme.

Wheel Vintiques Style 82. They are well made and have a 4" backspacing for the 8" wheel. The 10" has a 5" backspacing.

Summit has a sale with free shipping, so at $106 apiece, it was too hard to pass up.

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

You Suburban is SWEET :metal: and got me thinking about going with the black to begin with. Great story about it as well.

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

The black looks good. I ended up powder coating white because of my paint scheme. Either looks good, especially with that cap.

I think white is the way to go

Either would look good, but if it was mine, white! Since you already have the tires mounted and all, I say drive it around on the black wheels for a while, then decide if you like it or not.

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

Back in the day about all I saw were black with no caps. It's a tough truck look and I like it. The white looks great with no caps as well. I like black with no cap and white either way. But,white looks best on a truck that has white paint,especially a two-tone. Here's black open on an '84 with solid paint:

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

I would go with the black for me personally it looks more tougher. :bling2:But if you we're going to make it a stock looking I would go with the white.

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

Here is the truck. I ordered a 2" lift to compensate for the sagging original springs. I am running 285/75R16 BFG A/T.

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

Your truck is gonna look bad a.. with the black stealies :metal:

Looking forward to seeing it all set up!

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

Thanks, I'll post it up once I get the lift in and get the time to install it.

3rd , black wheels on a solid paint does look good.Post those pics when you can.

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

Nice truck, i vote for white wheels

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

Black for sure

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

Solid red color = black wheels
Red/white two tone =white wheels
Real nice truck!!

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

I think I am leaning towards black also ...

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

Was super excited then I saw they only make 8 lug wheels in that style. The search continues.

Re: Wheel Vintiques 16x8
 

Thanks John.....

Hope to put the lift on this next week then I'll put the wheels on. Looking forward to seeing how she looks with the new shoes. :lol:

Your suburban is sweet. If I had any white at all on my truck I'd have put the white stock wheels on.
