Re: Poll: 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... |

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

Re: Poll: Wheels
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... |

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.

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

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