Rims?

Im trying to make my mind up if I should get rims for my truck. I am thinking of getting some Cragers (5 stars types) or just keep what I got. What you guys think?

Heres what I got now... what you guys think?

Re: Rims?

Also what size should I get (18 or 20)? You can see the truck still has a bit of a gap and it has been lowered already (2" 4" drop).

Re: Rims?

Buy the rims and give your ralley's. No just kidding, I personally like the ralley's better but thats just my opinion.

Re: Rims?

dont waist your money on Cragers I had them (Classic Cragar S/S) and they rust and pit I installed them in the summer parked my truck in the garage never drove in the winter, summer time they was rusted, pitted & the chrome flaked around the lugs worst set of rims I ever bought they only had a few thousand miles on them and they was washed and dried every time I washed the truck

other companies have similar wheels you'll be better off

I loved the look but it really sucked they looked like they was 10 year old in less then 10 months

Plus a lot of tire shops around here won't work on Cragar SS's. To easy to break out the center hub when mounted on a tire machine.

Re: Rims?

IMHO, it's just hard to beat ralleys on these trucks.
