What wheel looks better? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

RBC67 · 01-27-2010, 05:34 PM

Sorry in advance for my poor photoshop skills, but I wanted to get a quick opinion on which wheel looks better.
I know which one looks better to me so I would like to hear some responsible responses on what you like.

This truck is a 6 lug, everything is in good shape and I don't want to convert it to 5 lug. The choices are some what limited as far as design, BS and wheel width.
I'm looking to go custom and just kicking around ideas.
Thanks

* (Photoshop wheels are 5 lug)

What look are you looking for? Maybe something like some oversized SS rally wheels from the late 60s and early 70's. I would suggest something like this:

I would vote the wheels in the first pic as well (top)

umwtnt · 01-27-2010, 07:27 PM

The wheels on Zumo picture are sharp but only 5 lug.

RBC67 · 01-27-2010, 08:28 PM

Thats pretty sweet-Zumo, Thanks
I've been leaning towards something with a racing heritage... clean funtional and not so much bling bling.
You are much better at photoshop than I!

The top three are all Bonspeed..... There pricing is fair and they build every wheel to the customers specs.
