Thanks! Too bad so much of it is total garbage. I probably would have picked something different if I could do it over. Stay tuned...

Re: Swap Shop Chevy K20

I'm really torn and I'm hoping some of you fellers can help me decide on some wheels. I picked up a set of slots for this truck but they are 16.5's so I have a tire issue. I've decided to go with a 33x12.5 tire. Here are my choices unless someone can give me some better ideas:

1) Keep the slots but buy them in 17's to open up my tire choices and keep the vintage look. These wheels were on the truck I fell in love with when I was 13 years old.

2) Upgrade to a modern wheel in 17. I'm looking at this wheel from Method in black.

Re: Swap Shop Chevy K20

I vote slots! A classic truck deserves a classic wheel in my opinion

If you just want the wheels to shine real nice, polish your slots. It's possible to make them look nearly brand new.
