Wheel suggestions anyone?
 
2 Attachment(s)
I am a couple of months from picking wheels out. I have had photoshops made, searched,looked for hours on end. I am afraid to make a decision and find a set of wheels that I would have liked more. So put yourself in my shoes. What would you put on my truck if it was yours?

I would go with Coys as they are cheap enough that if you get tired of the look you could sell them rather quickly....I would go with the gray ones not polished heck even the black ones...

I say man-up and buy the wheels you like and to hell with what everybody else thinks. It's your truck you can do whatever you want.

I think the ones on it look great. Save the money and buy a supercharger!

Isn't there a problem with the Coy's fitting right now? Has it been corrected?

My coys have been on my truck for over a year and there was never an issue fitting them on my truck....so my guess would be that the issue was solved before my wife bought mine..

If you can`t decide for yourself,how can we decide better?Rallyes are a safe bet because they are classic.You can`t go wrong with classic.The principle of following trends dictates that you will want different wheels later on because the trend will change and your wheels will become outdated,old hat.The best suggestion I can make is look,research,look again,then look some more until you are ready to buy.Sure you may miss a style or two,but you can be confident in your choice because you considered them all.Decide now and it sounds like you will be changing your mind a lot by spring.
That truck in that color with that hood is screaming for Cragar SSs or any of the classic American Racing designs,like TTIIs,200Ds,Torque Thrust Ds,or Salt Flats in 15".That thar`s my opinion.

i personally like the look of rallys also. I plan on doing a nice twist and maybe going with 17 inch rallys.

I like the ralleys too. Maybe turn the white letters in for a different look. But if I had to change, basically any 5 spoke design looks classic on these trucks. IMO.

Ever heard of a website called Custom Wheels Market? They have a Ebay store. You could go up on that and see what they sell. I have Weld Pro Stars on My 67 C10. I have Regular Aluminum Wheels on my 68. As Special K stated, the trends come and go. I like the classic look. Although on My Mach 1 I thinking of going gun metal gray 17s with a five spoke look. Or another is Rent and Roll. They have links to many different manufacturers.

The rally's will be put up in the garage for later. I agree with the classic wheels ttII, 200d,slots, etc. Supercharger is a good idea also. :metal:

jackyl9999...the wheels are 16x8 but I am not sure about the tires. I purchased these off FS forum last summer. The truck is still at the body shop so next time I get there I'll take a look.

wwotr ... Those ralleys do look good.

Re: Wheel suggestions anyone?
 
Can I request a better pick of the TTII's as you call them? Appear to look similar to SS Cragers.

I believe that Crager SS wheels are now drilled to fit your bolt hole pattern verses a unilug which I never liked...
