Re: What color for my wheels?

I had this lift, tires, & wheels sitting in the shop for a good while. At first I was upset to find a cat or rodent had gotten in there and peed on a couple wheels enough to eff the powdercoat up to have it pop off and rust started. But this was perfect since I wanted the truck to look like it had been this way a long time...like since back when white spokes were popular. The tires were ProComp Xtremes for my beach set of tires. i was going to mostly run a set of Super Swampers on wide steelies I had and have a more showy set using the slots with Ground Hawgs. But the white spokes I thought looked good on there for a nothin' fancy look. The reason I went this route first was 4WPH had a buy 3 get one free deal and they only offer 16s, so the white spokes were the cheapest wheel. for just a little more I could have gotten round holes but it was about the least spent while gaining a vintage look, justa driver, no big deal vibe (& to show people spokes could look good )
