Anyone think these would look good?

Just like the title says do you think these would look good on our year trucks? I like em for the money. Something different..

Re: Anyone think these would look good?

yea, I too am one of those 40 somethins... They are sharp looking wheels, and personally I prefer the original recipe on our vintage trucks.

But if the said truck has been all customized out, then they may look good on that kind of build?

well me too!

There are nice rims out there other than TT2. Bonspeeds have lots of classic designs, Coddingtons and Amecican racing.. Rivets seem to be the killer of classic rims

Re: Anyone think these would look good?

Looks too...I dunno...ricer-ish for me. Not to say that it won't look fine on your truck--that is the beauty of this era, put practically any wheel under them and it'll look cool.

Re: Anyone think these would look good?

they look like the wheels on my HHR i dont think good on a classic tho

add to that they're for front wheel drive vehicles and the bolt pattern is 5X4.5 i'd tend to think of lots o problems and waste of money

Re: Anyone think these would look good?

I'm a pretty conservative, nothing but TT2's kind of guy but I think those may look really good. Buy'em and try'em is my motto.

Re: Anyone think these would look good?

I think they would look OK, on a customized truck, and I'm 49. I'd have to chuck em up in the vice and drill 3 more lug nut wholes for them to fit my truck though. Lol, I like the age thing going here.

They're not awful.Just not for me.Make sure they'll fit.These trucks (and anything I'd drive) look best with some dish to their wheels and I like more beef on a truck.now I'm gettin hungry.

Well, I'm 32, so I'm old enough to remember the "Where's the Beef?" commercials.
