Should I put wheel well trim on it or not?
 
I'm on the fence about it. What do you all think?

I vote yes.
A splash of chrome trim makes for a nice touch.

I agree. A Lil trim goes a long way. Sweet truck by the way. Got anymore pics?

I agree. I've always liked the looks of wheel trim. That's a great color bye the way. Nice wheels to.

I agree, I'd put it on. Nice truck!

Thanks guys. The color is GM Storm Gray metallic. I literally just got it back together Saturday from being painted and a motor swap. I don't have any other pictures right now except for what it did look like.

I vote yes.

I think these trucks look unfinished with no trim on the sides.

I say no..Looks awesome the way it sits. You spent all that money on those beautiful wheels why make the eyes go to the chrome wheel well trim..

Another vote to add the wheel trim. I think the trim will add a nice break between your gray wheels and gray paint.

Specs on the wheels? Look really good, size and backspace.

Boss 338's. 20" x 8.5" front & 20" x 10" rear. 5" backspacing on rear and I think 4.5" on the front.

No. The trim traps dirt/water, etc. and promotes rust. The black color band fades quickly and does not look nice. The clean look is in now - excess chrome went out long ago with tail fins of the 59 impala.

Re: Should I put wheel well trim on it or not?
 
id like to vote for leaving it off.... I think it would take away from the wheels

Bears63 08-11-2014 01:02 PM

Re: Should I put wheel well trim on it or not?
 
I say no on the trim. That truck is very sharp just as it sits. It doesn't need the trim.

Re: Should I put wheel well trim on it or not?
 
Thanks. Looks good

If it were mine, I wouldn't put the trim on it.

Re: Should I put wheel well trim on it or not?
 
No trim. Looks good the way it sits

I think the wheel well trim only would be a nice touch to such a clean truck.

I say puy it on. I was in the same boat as you. Had the truck painted wheels on and couldn't decide. I got a great deal on some NOS wheel trim and I'm glad I did. Nice truck.

Re: Should I put wheel well trim on it or not?
 
See if anyone here is good enough to "Photoshop" it on then decide...

I like it without.

Thanks! Can you post a pic of yours with the trim on it?

Re: Should I put wheel well trim on it or not?
 
I vote put it on, but I'm a fan of keeping all the stock chrome.
