YES or NO on these rims- - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

tonypaul · 10-25-2010, 05:07 PM

Keep in mind that the truck is swb- GMC, 2 tone Black & Silver, and for my teenage son... I have these 22" wheels 1/2 paid for but I can change to another style right now. But I need to make a final choice this week...

I'm going with NO

epashhans · 10-25-2010, 05:18 PM

I would have to vote no. Those look like they could be bent very easily too.

Of all the status wheels, I think these would look pretty nice with that color combo but wouldn't be so far out there.

Now these wheels would rock that ride....

VA72C10 · 10-25-2010, 10:37 PM

PLEASE NO!!!

I am a big fan of 20's or 22's on these truck and like the modern look you're going for. But that wheel isn't it. Look at Budnik/Billet specialties/Intro for options.

I was looking at the Coys site the other day and they have the 20" or 22" C57 wheels on sale now. 20" x 10" in chrome for 275/rim and 325/rim for 22x9's. A killer deal for a nice looking wheel....

on our body style truck (needing a little more drop IMHO)

17's/18's on a newer S10...

robreil · 10-26-2010, 02:55 PM

Gonna have to go with a no. Negatives are strength, funky look for a classic.

I like that wheel as well Epashhans.

**N2TRUX** · 10-25-2010, 05:15 PM

I would say NO! Those wheels are going to be dated very quickly. I understand its for your son so he wants a contemporary look, but that wheel does not fit the lines of a classic truck.

eightbanger · 10-25-2010, 05:17 PM

They're not finished yet....no!

Gobbles · 10-25-2010, 05:17 PM

I fear the day I need to pick wheels

ozman3803 · 10-25-2010, 05:23 PM

Going to have to agree. I saw these on a escalade the other day and definitely no.

I think you can do better....i know its for your son but as stated above i think they will get old quick.

**Ironangel** · 10-25-2010, 05:51 PM

Nope, era correct rally's are the bullet proof mainstay.

jondancer · 10-25-2010, 05:58 PM

i like them , just not for a truck

greenbd71 · 10-25-2010, 06:01 PM

That's a big NO.

I prefer the more classic truck styles...I like the round hole patterns for trucks myself.

tonypaul · 10-25-2010, 06:06 PM

I wasnt overly fond of them either but its the rims he picked.... The truck has 17" Boyd Junk Yard Dogs on them now that I like. He just dont like them and its going to be his truck..... Im glad I asked, I just dont relate with 15 year olds very well....
Here is the truck when I just finised painting the cab with the Boyds on-

Not sure what kind of price you are getting on those wheels, but have you looked at Boyds lately? There are a few rims over there that I would love to see on some vehicles...I think these would look pretty wild on your truck...in some 20's or 22's.

Or these from BOZE...
