New Wheels or New Interior????
I'm at the point where I need a new change.
I know the purchase of wheels is a big investment, so that would mean Save, Save, Save. I have narrowed it down to my 2 wheel choices. Sizes I am leaning towards are 20x8.5 and 20x10. Or do I go with new interior with the truck fund money I have now? I have always liked how a RED interior looked with silver trucks. For interior I was thinking of a red non-scroll or houndstooth bench seat cover, red dashpad, red headliner with chrome trim, red carpet?. I wasn't planning on painting anything inside. Not sure what to do with my door panels either or arm rest. I need some ideas...Thanks in advance for your input and ideas.Not sure if forum member Truckseats is still around but I did send him a PM. |

Re: New Wheels or New Interior????
I like your current wheels better than either new one so I'd go with the interior. I just sold a Chevelle, Cortez silver with red interior. Keep the sheet metal silver and replace the door panels and dash pad with red...it will pop! I do like the houndstooth!

Re: New Wheels or New Interior????
Man... I think it looks great as is. Seriously. I would maybe redo the seat cover in a stock black vinyl.

Re: New Wheels or New Interior????
Since you can't see your wheels while driving down the road and always see the interior, I think the red interior upgrade will make the biggest impact..

RED interior, nothing is any sexier than a silver truck with red interior! Well, maybe a blue truck with red interior, but still do the interior! Wheels look good as is!

Re: New Wheels or New Interior????
I would do wheels first then later the interior..
wheels will completely change the look of your truck.. good luck.

Re: New Wheels or New Interior????
As much as I like red interior I'd vote wheels. The last pic would be my choice. Nothing is sexier with silver than a nice set of billets.

Re: New Wheels or New Interior????
I appreciate the input from both sides guys. Haven't made my mind up just yet, but when it comes to selecting the backspace, how do you determin that?

Re: New Wheels or New Interior????
I say do the wheels, the right wheel can do everything for the looks of a vehicle and as previously stated, way more people will see the wheels. Oh and you can't go wrong with either of those Racelines.

Re: New Wheels or New Interior????
I say do the interior, right now your wheels and interior looks good, but I think it will be very sexy with the red interior and its timeless.
Wheels change so much these days anyways, you may be able to add some later. |

Re: New Wheels or New Interior????
Both look nice already, and your old wheels are nicer than the proposed ones. Go detail your engine compartment, you sound bored :-)

Re: New Wheels or New Interior????
Naturally, appearance mods are completely subjective and there is nothing distasteful about your truck as it currently sits.
With that in mind, I would personally buy the wheels. I do think a larger diameter wheel (only buy the #2 wheel) would really give the truck an updated look. The interior looks clean and simple as it is, which is how it should be. From a business perspective, you could sell your current wheels and tires, they will have a strong salvage value...your current interior does not. When you weigh the money and the alternatives, wheels should be your first decision.

Re: New Wheels or New Interior????
it's funny you mentioned the engine compartment, cause my buddy said the same thing. I told him that would be after wheels and interior...
