Old School to New School Wheels
 

In another post big_al_71 got me thinking about going from "old school" to "new school" with the rims on his truck. I thought it would be cool to post pics of everyones trucks from "old school" to "new school" or vice versa...and I didn't want to hi-jack that thread. So hopefully big_al_71 will help me out by reposting here...and I will post mine to get this party started! :)


Old School to New School

like the old better

Re: Old School to New School Wheels
 

Old school is definitly the way to go! The slots look killer!

Re: Old School to New School Wheels
 

:agree: Stick with the old school.

Re: Old School to New School Wheels
 

Those slots are sweet. Trying to find a set now but it's hard to find a perfect set with the right lug pattern and width. I see a lot of 14 inchers and 5 lugs and 4 lugs.

Re: Old School to New School Wheels
 

I have both versions old school and new and the more I look at the two diff trucks I like my 15s better, so I say keep the slots but just my opinion.:gmc2:

Re: Old School to New School Wheels
 

Although Im new around here.. I been into cars for forever, and have come to the conclusion that alot has to with paint. Personal perception is always the best when it comes to your own choice or anything thats going on yuor on personal truck/car, ect. But in the case thats posted here, the old schools in my opinion look better. However I think its due to the flat primer look it has right now. At some time in the future the truck gets some color on it... well I think my opinon could change depending of the style of paint... But right now that truck is looking way too fine sitting in its old school rims...

Re: Old School to New School Wheels
 

like the old school better,there's something about big rims that make me cringe.

Big AL 71-
not sure if you seen my 1st post in the welcome forum or not, but after looking at hunreds of truck pics on this forum I think your truck is one of the best ones I have seen..... Im on my kness bowing down to your truck!!!
Anyway have you ever seen a truck like yours but with the colors swaped? White on black?

Re: Old School to New School Wheels
 

I know a lot of guys like the slots but to me they look dated unlike rallies which are timeless. Personally I feel old or new depends on how you build the truck. Hotrod with custom paint gets new school. Original look gets rallies.

Re: Old School to New School Wheels
 

Looks better with the slots.

Re: Old School to New School Wheels
 

I really like the old wheels too.

Re: Old School to New School Wheels

Slots. Polish them.

Re: Old School to New School Wheels
 

funny - I was just watching this last night...

Re: Old School to New School Wheels
 

slots are way cool,keep em and polish em.

Re: Old School to New School Wheels
 

The only way to improve on those slots is to polish them better.

Re: Old School to New School Wheels
 

Haha. Thanks for all the comments guys! :metal: I was hoping everyone would post their pics of "old school" and "new school", but thats cool. I do like the slots and am going to hold onto them, but I am just digging the big rims. I think I blame Purpedo...I love his trucks wheel size and stance. I am hoping to get some steelies and paint them black with whitewalls. Then I will have the best of all worlds!

Re: Old School to New School Wheels
 

Personally Im always gonna dig the old school look. Probably because that's what I grew up with.

I thought it was funny Big Al calls 17 inch TT II's old school. So I guess in reality I prefer really old school =)

Re: Old School to New School Wheels
 

Thank you very much I really appreciate the compliment...I have not seen a truck with the colors swapped but if you go in photochop section I am sure one of the guys can do it for you...

Re: Old School to New School Wheels
 

17's have been around for a long time and the slots even longer in fact I remember when I was like 8 years old my father had a brand new 1976 nova with slots on it so yes they are really old school in my book and I dont like them at all never have. I do like the rallies and I dont like anything bigger than 20's.:lol:

Re: Old School to New School Wheels
 

ephashhans was asking for people to post picts of your trucks with old style wheels and new style wheels if you have them, not wether we like one wheel or another..
