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

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

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:

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...

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.

Ahh Ditto.

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

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

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

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

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