Re: Wheels,wheels vote please!!!

Choosing between the two, I say the draglites. Personally, I don't like either of them and I think they look dated. That's my opinion, though.

I know they're belly buttonish, but some 15" TTII's with 255/70 front and 285/70 rear tires would look killer especially with the stock height.

Neither, stick with the steelies you already have on the truck. Just paint them nice.

I like the 5 spokes but I also agree with cleaning up the wheels that are on it.

Re: Wheels,wheels vote please!!!

If my only choice is between those two... I'd get the 5-spoke wheels.

Cleaning up the old ones? Nothing exciting about that! I like the 5 spokes, given the choices. Nice, old school look.
