which rims do you guys like? I'm looking at the vintagewheelworks v45 in a 17 or the cruzers in a 17". I'd post pictures but not sure how to upload from computer..

gonzo6869 · 12-01-2010, 12:15 AM

It might help if you post some pics of your choices. Scratch that, I just read the last part of your thread. Try uploading your pics to photobucket then copy the link and past on your thread.

69trk · 12-01-2010, 07:49 AM

see if this works.. the cruzer is the first picture...

68Stepbed · 12-01-2010, 09:29 AM

I personally like the V45's better.

Blue71LWB · 12-01-2010, 09:45 AM

If you had an option for a different center cap on the cruzer , they would look good.

*Shane* · 12-01-2010, 10:03 AM

neither ... rally's

big_al_71 · 12-01-2010, 12:23 PM

Coys....

Rochlow · 12-01-2010, 12:34 PM

Cruzer are way over priced. JDM wheels has a Halibrand wheel that look identical for half the price.

clos69 · 12-01-2010, 02:02 PM

I would go with the new REV-100 wheels in 17x8,17x9....you can get a set for $560 from JDwheels.com

that's a good price on those. I need to check backspacing and bolt patterns...

Bennett68C10 · 12-01-2010, 10:07 PM

I vote the V45's i like the way they look. I was thinking about the Rev wheels a while back because of the price, they have our 5x5 lug pattern and the 17x8's have 4.5" BS and the 17x9's have 5.25" BS. Good luck with the search. Another month or two and i'll be doing the same thing your doing now searching for wheels.

i don't know if the 4.5" backspacing for the fronts would be to much or not. i've been talking to a guy about the rev. wheels, and i can get the 17x9's in a 5" bs. But i still think that might be a 1/4" to much. Or do you guys think that will make that much of a difference? I don't want to run spacers...

kcsa75 · 12-01-2010, 02:32 PM

Given the choices, I vote for the Vintage. But my personal favorite is still Cragar SS!

**Stocker** · 12-01-2010, 03:15 PM

Everyone has different tastes and I'm not gonna make any other suggestions.
You asked which of those two we prefer -- my vote is for the Vintage.

Jacfourteen · 12-02-2010, 02:16 AM

Vintage FTW.

the torque thrust wanna bes always look good on these trucks....

stsalvage · 07-17-2011, 03:11 PM

my one thing with any wheel Best to run the disc brake shields to keep the brake dust off of them cus we all know with are new car's and trucks that we use as beaters are rims take a heavy pounding and most of us hate cleaning those hard to reach area's in a wheel chrome works better if you use polish on them just and wash them every week
