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

**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

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.

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 say NO,they're ugly!

72freak · 10-25-2010, 05:35 PM

WOW.....I dont think I have EVER seen an uglier set of wheels in my life!

Hubscrub · 10-25-2010, 05:35 PM

chevytruckluver · 10-25-2010, 05:38 PM

do you really need another NO WAY in He77?

BADPURPLE70CHEVY · 10-25-2010, 05:38 PM

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

epashhans · 10-25-2010, 05:45 PM

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.

Legend Bonneville Black Ceramic

Black Twisted Knoxville

Or these from BOZE...

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-

IMO... no.

nastyc10 · 10-25-2010, 06:13 PM

I wouldn't buy them either.

*lakeroadster* · 10-25-2010, 06:15 PM

I'm pretty old school.... I would also have to say no also.

Those wheels would really need to be mounted on a vehicle that had huge disc brakes with some really large calipers and rotors to look acceptable... and even then I'm thinkin I would still say no.

Also I would be worried about the strength in a truck application since only part of the rim is captured by the center.

Hope that helps.

**68jewel** · 10-25-2010, 06:36 PM

Me personally, I wouldn't. But, if your son likes them, then YES! They are his wheels. Where I'm from, that wheel is very popular among the youngsters. So, let him get what he wants. I can guarantee he doesn't want the original rally wheels another member just posted. Y'all are forgetting, he is a teenager. Boy, oh boy, can a fill up a barrel of the stuff I did that didn't make sense when I was a teenager. The wheels may not flow with the lines of the truck, but putting these wheels on a truck to a teenager makes about as much sense as the teenagers who put 26" wheels on the Chevy cars. It a youngster thing and we wouldn't understand.

crapy67 · 10-25-2010, 06:43 PM

absolutely, NOT

67ChevyRedneck · 10-25-2010, 06:46 PM

Yuk! So no convincing him it looks great now, huh (with the Boyd JYD rims)?
