which rims to go with?
1. 15x8 and 15x10 vette rallys
2. 15x8.5 and 15x10 aluminum slots 3. 15x8 and 15x10 truck rallys Aluminum slots would be cleaned up, would order 15x10 truck rallys from summit to go with a set of 15x8 truck rallys that I already have, or keep the vette rallys. Tires will be 295/50/15 and 245/60/15 BFG TA radials. Waiting for a reply from discount tire, to whether or not they can get the 295's still. Let me know what you think.

Re: which rims to go with?
Truck rallys look good with the stock height and tires you have on there. When/if you lower go with the vette wheels!

Re: which rims to go with?
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think you are going to have a hard time finding the 295s in a BFG. Try Cooper. And this is kind of nit picky but the 245 is wider for an 8" rim than a 295 is for the 10" rim. Which means that your front tire will balloon out more than your rear. You've probably seen the pics of my Blazer--It needs to be lowered if it's gonna look right.
I like your truck though. Either of the rallies look good. You have a wide selection of center caps you could use on the vette rallies. Smoothy centers look good for example.

Re: which rims to go with?
Can't go wrong with slots.
As far as I know, 295/50/15 BFGoodrich Radial T/A's are still available.

Re: which rims to go with?
Truck will be lowered. Its on the list of things to do. The 245/60/15s on the front now, don't seem to ballon out any more than the 295s do. I believe the 295s should still be available. There still on tire rack and BFG websites. They are back ordered on the tire rack website.

Re: which rims to go with?
Slots, first choice. Truck rallys second.
I don't really like the vette rallys on anything. They seem like "cop out" wheels. You know, the ones you put on when you can't decide what to put on.

Re: which rims to go with?
I vote the truck rallies because the more people who have the slot mags, the less original I look :P

Hmm that's a tough choice but I would say truck rallies.

Re: which rims to go with?
out of those 3 choices Id say truck rallys fer sure. Slots are cool, but They dont work on these trucks in my opinion. the vette rallys belong on vetts or chevelles, camaros etc., just my opinion

Re: which rims to go with?
wow u got me. that is s tough one. Slotts are cool I got a set on my 56 willys. They look real good on the 67 to 72 style trucks and I like em on our trucks as well. Vette and truck rallies are a toss up fro me. Depends if i want more of a stock look or slightly different. As mentioned before alot of people are running vette rallies on everything but i don't think they are an "I can't decide wheel" Just a classic design that is timeless. Much like TT's, coys, cragars..... you know all the 5 spokes. I always loved the look of old Cragar SS wheels and even tho they are popular. It is hard went you have chosen such timeless wheels. IMO any of the three under 16's in size would look good on your truck.
One nice thing about rallies is you can change there color and get a whole new look. 1st slotts 2cond Truck rallies 3rd Vette
