Here's a wheel slammed67 CAD'd out. Would you let your truck wear these if they were available??

krue · 06-21-2004, 09:57 PM

If I were going to be low and chopped then I would consider them!

LUV2XCLR8 · 06-21-2004, 10:02 PM

2 MANY BOW'S 4 ME, ID KEEP THE 1 IN THE CENTER CAP, THE 5 ACTING AS
THE STAR, REMOVE THE SMALL ONES AROUND THE CENTER, AND CHANGE IT
TO RIVITS AROUND THE LIP. JUST MY $0.02 WORTH. NEAT CONCEPT. :p

I second this Idea exactly

robertwb · 06-21-2004, 11:24 PM

me third...just a little too busy with all those

post a redo with the changes

UltraDresser · 06-21-2004, 11:37 PM

I have to agree lil overboard on the bowtie's.... if people can't tell its a Chevy.... well theres not allot of hope for them anyway

Primered_69 · 06-21-2004, 11:41 PM

Well what about all us wonderful 6 lug people?

It is cool but I too bad Chevy would never let you make and sell them w/o a butt load of copyright payments.

Primered_69 · 06-21-2004, 11:42 PM

Would be cool to see the bowtie cut out to look like old school slots and the bowties running around the hoop to be deleted.

Deuce · 06-22-2004, 12:51 PM

Smooth lip(easier to clean too) and I think they would look awsome.

MMGOODIE · 06-22-2004, 01:50 PM

Without all of the bows and the proper lug configuration

Bamm · 06-22-2004, 02:06 PM

No, just can't see it. Maybe a billit bowtie-protruding 3-D looking center cap with a twisted vista styled rim would look good, but all those bowtie's just remind me of those "teddy bear" rims that were available a few years back. ............Jerry

inline6Bill · 06-22-2004, 04:06 PM

Agree fully with Primered69, make those things look like old school slots with bowtie openings, would look great IMHO. Existing wheels look to "Bling Bling"ish for me.

Alexis · 06-22-2004, 05:46 PM

kinda reminds me of these for some reason.

RON WOODGEARD · 06-22-2004, 06:48 PM

I like the Bowties around the rim but the ones connecting the center to the rim just do not fit..

YEA, maybe as a slot style...

$Bling$ I think slammed67 was involved in designing those as well

I remember those crappy Teddy Bear rims some one down here had them they thought they were so cool. I wonder what he thinks of them now.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 06-22-2004, 08:28 PM

I think the cleaned up version is better...

mr402 · 06-23-2004, 12:02 AM

I would liketo see what it looks like if the bow ties were actually openings in the rim but going around it like an aluminum slot. Still wouldn't do me much good on my GMC though. Cool concept!

chickenwing · 10-22-2004, 03:00 PM

Neither one is workin for me. Think the slot idea has potential. I luv the bowtie but it's a little too sharp edged for the spokes. The bowties around the lip might work if they are etched into the wheel giving them a differant shade, or protruding from the lip if they are smoothed out kinda like a blister. Admire your cad skills. My .02.

Brainchild · 10-22-2004, 07:12 PM

The spokes are too much for me.It would look better with lightning bolts or something maybe for spokes,and the bowties in the center and around the edges.Maybe not,I'm no designer<shrugs>

**N2TRUX** · 10-22-2004, 11:49 PM

They don't work for me at all because I don't like to add extra ornaments or logos to anything. I do think they woould look better if the bowtie was a cut out in the wheel, and sat at an angle to create a directional pattern....

'70 C/10 SS500 · 10-23-2004, 03:27 PM

Here is a quick first attempt for a slotted bowtie wheel. I'll try an angled slot later. What do you guys think?

'70 C/10 SS500 · 10-23-2004, 03:31 PM

Wheel only.

cableguy0 · 10-23-2004, 03:37 PM

the slotted bowtie looks a lot better than the spokes imo the spokes were too much but the slots me likey
