YES or NO on these rims-

Keep in mind that the truck is swb- GMC, 2 tone Black & Silver, and for my teenage son... I have these 22" wheels 1/2 paid for but I can change to another style right now. But I need to make a final choice this week...

Re: YES or NO on these rims-

I would have to vote no. Those look like they could be bent very easily too.

Of all the status wheels, I think these would look pretty nice with that color combo but wouldn't be so far out there.

Re: YES or NO on these rims-

PLEASE NO!!!

I am a big fan of 20's or 22's on these truck and like the modern look you're going for. But that wheel isn't it. Look at Budnik/Billet specialties/Intro for options.

I was looking at the Coys site the other day and they have the 20" or 22" C57 wheels on sale now. 20" x 10" in chrome for 275/rim and 325/rim for 22x9's. A killer deal for a nice looking wheel....



on our body style truck (needing a little more drop IMHO)

17's/18's on a newer S10...

Re: YES or NO on these rims-

Gonna have to go with a no. Negatives are strength, funky look for a classic.

Re: YES or NO on these rims-

I would say NO! Those wheels are going to be dated very quickly. I understand its for your son so he wants a contemporary look, but that wheel does not fit the lines of a classic truck.

That's a big NO. I prefer the more classic truck styles...I like the round hole patterns for trucks myself.

Re: YES or NO on these rims-

I wasnt overly fond of them either but its the rims he picked.... The truck has 17" Boyd Junk Yard Dogs on them now that I like. He just dont like them and its going to be his truck..... Im glad I asked, I just dont relate with 15 year olds very well....
Here is the truck when I just finised painting the cab with the Boyds on-

Re: YES or NO on these rims-

Not sure what kind of price you are getting on those wheels, but have you looked at Boyds lately? There are a few rims over there that I would love to see on some vehicles...I think these would look pretty wild on your truck...in some 20's or 22's.

Legend Bonneville Black Ceramic

Black Twisted Knoxville

Or these from BOZE...
