Biggest rims I have personally seen on a C10

Wow... These babies were huge! I had to whip a U-turn and snap a pic. They gotta be 26"... Guy must be the owner of the rim/tire shop it was parked in front of.

Re: Biggest rims I have personally seen on a C10

Looks like a very nice truck. I like big wheels, I am running 24's on the rear of my short box. But those are a little too large for me.

Re: Biggest rims I have personally seen on a C10

I love the way the wheels fill out the fenderwell, too bad the wheels have to be so big and the tires have to be so small to accomplish that though.

Re: Biggest rims I have personally seen on a C10

To each their own! Honestly I don't understand the big wheel trend myself. Once the wheel becomes the focal point does it matter what they are attached to? Wheels should compliment a vehicle, not dominate it, IMHO. Otherwise, beautiful truck.

what he said ,i dont get it.20" i could maybe live(if it was a real nice wheel) with but anything else you may as well say i drive a ricer.
at least it looked better than a hummer i saw with mega giant wheels,it looked like a stage coach from a western movie.

I remember similar comments when 17's started catching on.

Those wheels don't dominate the truck, IMO. It's just a darn good looking truck, no matter what. Having said that, I think a set of 13" Dayton's might just ruin it.

Re: Biggest rims I have personally seen on a C10

Hey,that's a really nice truck! Now that I made positive remark I'd like to say I wish people would take their huge rims and find something else to do with them. When it's all about the wheels why not use them on something that could use a little help and take some credit?

Re: Biggest rims I have personally seen on a C10

You know sooner or later this one will get locked down for bashing but......I must not say anythingbad about it.

Gorgeous black truck would look just awesome with some polished 15" aluminum slots. That's all I'm gonna say.

Buckboard wagon. I'm just sayin

Re: Biggest rims I have personally seen on a C10

Personally I find it kind of sad that a concept that was intended to improve handling has been perverted into being so over done that it renders a vehicle virtually undrivable. +1, +2 etc sizing was intended to reduce tire flex by reducing sidewall height and make room for larger brakes so you could brake later into turns. I was using +2 sizes on cars in the early '80s long before it had anything to do with bling. To go to the extreme that you end up with a wheel so heavy and a sidewall so short that you really can't do much of anything. A fast turn will peel the tire off the rim, a pot hole will bust the bead, you have to regulate pressure with nitrogen, and all this for a look that just looks ridiculous. It's like the maintenance of a stripper with the looks of a clown. It's a look I simply don't understand, I put this in the same category as the poofy landau tops, Stutz pipes and Continental kits, but hey to each his own.
