Need your Advice - (poll)

Hi ,

here`s my current project truck (1984 silverado) - right now I`m not quite sure which rims I should buy....







Here are my favorite rims:


1) 18" x 8 and 18" x 9,5 Boss 338




2) 20" x 8,5 Boss front and rear



3) 20" 8,5 Boss front and rear



which would YOU choose ?

thanks, Rob

Re: Need your Advice - (poll)

I like both 1 and 2. Chrome would look really good with your paint. The gray would contrast the silver too much. JMO Nice truck!

Hey Rob your truck looks very cool!
I´d vote for number 2!
Do you think you can get TÜV for wheels like that?
If so tell me how!

They all look better than what's on it, for sure. I like the first set the best. I'm an oldskool kind of guy.

I like #2 the best, but I think the grey on #1 would look better with your truck.

Re: Need your Advice - (poll)

I like #2, but I wish they came in staggered sizes or at least different offsets. You could probably compensate some with staggered tire sizes (like boatpuller pulled off) or spacers.

The 18s would make it look lower.

With the paint scheme you've got going, I'd go with 2. I would stagger the tire sizes though.
