Poll: Wheels
 

Having a problem deciding if I should keep my Eagle 212s or get 225s instead.

225

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

I like the 225. Thought about getting them for my truck but i have Eagle 211's and i hate them. They've had water looking spots on them since i got them and it will not cone off. I'm going with all Chrome next time

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

I'm with you...225 Hands down:metal:

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

That issue is with any billet wheel not just the 225s.

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

I assume those are 225s on your truck? They look killer in real like (not photoshopped).

Damn, was hoping not to spend 2Gs but I guess I have no choice. The forumn has spoken. :lol:

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

There really isnt that big of a difference...atleast not a big enough difference to spend 2g's just my $0.02.. :uhmk:

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

:agree:

Well the 212s look nice, buy the 225s look a bit better.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I should stipulate that if I keep the 212s, I'd spend about $1200 to get 20x10s on the back and and another half inch of rubber on the front wheels. So I think I'll spend the extra for a fresh set, specially after seeing a few examples on this forum.

Next project: interior...

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

225!

square truck... square wheels (225)

round truck (newer S10's)... round wheels (212)

and for those that cant figure out what I mean by "square wheels"... better luck next time

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

i couldn't justify spending the money for the difference in wheels, but i do like the 225's better but its such a small change. unless your current wheels are showing signs of wear and you are replacing anyway i would stick with what you have.

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

Ahh Ditto.

Unless your switching to a much larger size don't bother. You could always have them powder coated in a contrasting color.

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

none of the above

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

Craig's List I guess.

Re: Poll: Wheels

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

IMO....they're both ok....not great tho...

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

Yes I'm aware of that. Thats why i implied i wouldn't buy eagle alloys again. Just my opinion.

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

Thats an issue with cast wheels, not billet wheels. These are NOT billet wheels.

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

If you got 2 G's to throw down, get some billet specialties Vintecs. Timeless design true billet wheels that look great on these trucks. Plus, if you sell your 212s you can afford the soles for them new shoes...feel me?

Just something to ponder on...

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

If you are going to burn 2k, couldn't you find some better looking wheels? Craigslist is your friend.

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

The 225s look right at home. The other ones weren't bad just don't blend as well lol.

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

Yikes $500 a wheel for 20s

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

Thanks for all of the suggestions, but I am very particular. I've been browsing through hundreds of wheels the last few months, and while 225s arent my first choice, they are the my faves in my price range.

If I were going to spend $500+ per wheel I'd go with Budnik.

Going to order them next week. We'll see how the real deal compares to my photoart. :smoke:

Cheers~

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

10-4, those 225s will look sharp on there...:ito:

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

If you have the mula, $$$, 225 is the way to go

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

225's out of those two choices, but if it were me doing it, I'd find some bigger Torque Thrusts for it. I love classic designs I guess.

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

225 all the way the 212 are dated

Seriously, though...

1. There is not a big enough difference between those two styles to justify the huge expense
2. Both have been done before, especially the 225 style...
3. If you're going to spend the cash, change it up; try CCW Wheels. Maybe a set of CCW 505As or Classics? How about BBS wheels?
4. Or just leave it as is; your truck looks awesome

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

Polishing wheels bites. Seriously think about getting them powder coated clear if you can.

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

KMK, checked out your suggestions. I'm not a fan of spokey wheels and I think they just look wrong on a big ol' square body. I'm definitely into the classic/traditional w/ modern twist thing. Thanks though :)

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

That's cool. Well you can't go wrong with classic fivespokes.

Here's a bonspeed wheel that's nice:

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

Bonspeed are cool but WAY out of my budget. I like a few Bozes too, but they quoted me $3000 just for the wheels.

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

can't go wrong on a stock looking truck

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

Torque Thrust!!

Oh wait, that wasnt a choice, my bad...lol ;)
I kinda like the 225 better...sweet truck btw!!

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

I'm voting for the 225s, but they are getting fairly common. Personally that doesn't bother me. In fact, I will be ordering mine for my black short fleet sometime this week.

Re: Poll: Wheels
 

Keep the 212s and spend the money on other parts.
