I really like the 4 spoke wheel on our trucks. It makes it seem sort of modern while still looking like a truck wheel

The after wheel doesn't blend well with these trucks IMO... damn, is there an airbag under that horn button...??

Keep the 4-spoke, the caviler wheel looks too goofy, with the very large horn button that is square. It does look like it has an airbag!

Kinda agree about the Cavilier wheel..The horn button looks out of place, but the spoke design I like. I don't think it blocks the dash as much as the 4 spoke. I'd go with what ever feels the best to you.

The Cavalier wheel looks out of place IMO.
I think the best looking wheels in these trucks are either the monster 17" stock wheels, or a 15" aftermarket wheel with wood around the outside.

If its round.....it will work! Personally, I like the Grant wheels.....my longhorn has a "flat woodie" (you ask..."how does a woodie get flat!). you have to play with it for a while

that 4 spoke wants me to mash on the gas and just spin the tires and turn the steering wheel as if it were gonna do something. hard to explain. i saw it on an elky on trucks! it was a blown elky with a chrome steering wheel with the same kinda design except there was no top or bottom. just a big chrome x

This is the wheel I choose to use in my truck. It is a corvette wheel rapped in leather. Uses the same adapter as the other ones and has a nice horn button too.

Gotta go with the after!!!!! The old 4- spoke is kinda out dated IMHO. After I saw Big Orange's burb last year thats what I wanted. And got one off of Nevada 70. The burb had the the trangle button mines got the rectangle like Racedvl's.
