Which wheels? ralleys or Steelies?

My new tires get here pretty soon. I have 15x8 steelies with dog dish caps, and I have ralley wheels. I took these pictures off some other threads of board member's trucks. Which do you think I should go with? I have a 506 dark olive blazer with white top. But the white top probably won't be on it much.

I prefer steelies with caps. It not only looks mean but clean too.

Steelies with caps. I have the same color on mine. Is the truck lifted and what size tires do you have on the steelies. Looks terrific!

My Blazer is not lifted. I am thinking of going with 31" tires.

Re: Which wheels? ralleys or Steelies?

Its such a nice Blazer that any wheel combo would look good on it. However, the white steelies with caps really stand out in my opinion.

I voted rally. However, I hope you go with the steel and sell me the rally for a real good price.

Re: Which wheels? ralleys or Steelies?

Both look good but I personally like the white steelies and dog dishes especially on a period correct paint job.
When people start to paint newer style paint schemes then I tend to like the rallys better.

Re: Which wheels? ralleys or Steelies?

I have both but am irritated by the beauty rings on the ralleys coming off and or now rotating independent of the wheels. It was wearing on the stems.

Re: Which wheels? ralleys or Steelies?

Both look nice. I have white wagon wheel steelees on mine. But I run trails off-road sometimes and wouldn't want to loose the beauty rings or caps out in the mountains. For a street truck I like the rally's better though. Had them on my 94 because I liked them so much.

Re: Which wheels? ralleys or Steelies?

Both look good but steelies set it apart a little more.

Question - white walls in or out?

Re: Which wheels? ralleys or Steelies?

Here is the end result, for now at least. I am going to repaint the ralleys now. But dang, I really love the look of these steel wheels so who knows if the ralleys will get put back on, but I will have them if I do change my mind.
