EXCELLENT choice!

**desertnick69** · 05-11-2013, 12:49 AM

Outstanding statement "STOCK"!!

BurnoutNova · 05-11-2013, 03:04 AM

Wow... I knew I liked it, but didn't know everyone else would so much. Thanks!

Mint68 · 05-11-2013, 05:09 AM

It does look very nice now, maybe even better than it used too... tall and skinny is the only way to go on a 4x4.

**Boog** · 05-11-2013, 05:59 AM

Just don't do away with those turbines or cyclones, name?

Jaysonb · 05-11-2013, 09:29 AM

Looks awesome.

**Already Gone** · 05-11-2013, 03:14 PM

Now it looks like it should.

Prematuregrey · 05-11-2013, 03:25 PM

That looks a lot better. Although those old school "rims" do bring back a bit of nostalgia, I wouldn't get rid of them myself. The steels where a big selling point for me when I bought my truck.

CG · 05-11-2013, 03:54 PM

Looks great! I like the old turbine wheels like you had, but man what a difference.

GASoline71 · 05-11-2013, 03:58 PM

Mucho Grande better...

I've been toying with the idea of putting my stockers back on with hubcaps... But I want to widen the rears to 10".

They are western hurricanes. I definately will not get rid of them, but I probly won't be putting them back on anytime soon.

I like it. It looks a lot better now.

Prematuregrey · 05-11-2013, 07:44 PM

I'd use the hurricanes for a set of massive gumbo bias plys to go the full nostalgia with them and throw them on when I just want to go run over crap.

tommys72 · 05-11-2013, 07:48 PM

Love it...looks way better

I like the look of your truck! If I ever get a 4x4 thats how I want it to look. I'm going to change my wheels on my 2wd. I have american racing wheels now and picked up some steelies.

Square_78 · 05-12-2013, 07:14 AM

I took these off....

That is like the boy turning into the man there. What a difference for the better.

The Alcoa that came with mine were nice but definitely not my style.
