Which Wheels?

I am going to order my wheels ASAP and want some opinions. Please let me know what you think. And, if anyone could photoshop the Daytona wheels on my truck with a 5/7 drop I would be very thankful.
American Racing Daytonas in chrome
Eagle 225s Polished.
Both 20x8 and 20x10

The first ones to be different then tons of trucks on here. Both are nice but the lower ones look like they are on tons of truck on this site.

I like the Daytona wheel. What about this wheel. Eagle Alloy 227. I think it will stand out with the yellow paint better that chrome.

I looked at those too in silver but I was worried about how they would look with the tan paint. Santa Fe Tan, not yellow! :lol: My wife tells me its yellow all the time, time for a repaint I guess! :lol:

I have been looking at a lot of wheels lately for my dadd' 85. He wanted a classic looking wheel to match his factory paint and I really like the new look of the Cragar SS soft lip wheels. You can get them painted, polished or chrome. I also looked at the cheaper Japan version of Torque Thrust II's called REV wheels.

Re: Which Wheels?
 
I was originally going to go with the REV wheels you have posted. But they dont come in a 5.5" backspace. Only 4" last time I talked to someone. I think they will rub the bedside when lowered with only 4" backspace on a 20x10. I like the Cragars though.

I like teh Eagle 227's and the grey Cragars too. Don't see much of either of those.

Re: Which Wheels?
 
I emailed JDwheels who sells the Rev 100 regarding the backspacing and this was his reply: the 20x8 is a +0 or 4.5" bs, the 20x9.5 +0 or 5.25" bs or 5x5 +15mm or 5.75" bs

Sounds like the rears would work with 5.75 bs but the fronts would rub the crap out of the fenders with 4.5 bs I would think. My 20x8 Coys with 5.25 bs rubbed the bolts that held the inner fender in pretty bad on turns.

I really like the Cragar soft lip S/S wheel. Gunmetal or chrome would be nice.

The Daytona wheel would be ok if it didn't have the "hub spinner" looking thingy in the center.

The TT2's and the 225's are a little overdone.

I think the 227's though, belong more on a tuner car like a EVO or a Subaru than on a square.

Re: Which Wheels?
 
I actually love the Cragar S/S soft lip.. However, at $550 a piece.. If I could find them alittle cheaper I would definetly think of upgrading.

STOCKISH 10-14-2011 02:35 PM

Re: Which Wheels?
 
Well, I went ahead and ordered the 225s. They might be "overdone" on a site with tens of thousands of members but I havent seen them on anything in my state. And think, if they are overdone its because they look sick!

Re: Which Wheels?
 
I think the REV wheels would look sweet on it if you could get the proper back spacing.

Want those 225s to stand out from the rest? Paint the centers a darker gray color. I have yet to see anyone do it.

Re: Which Wheels?

Re: Which Wheels?
 
Here's mine with new 225s (like everyone else on this site ;)). Maybe it'll help you decide:
