I'm thinking about getting some different wheels for my truck I like the wheels I have but I want to get rid of the pro street look, corvette rally 15x6s and 15x8s, van and truck rally 15x6 1/2 and 15x8s, or keep the pro street look and keep the wheels

babyJay · 06-23-2009, 11:32 AM

um....leave it alone

JohnC · 06-23-2009, 11:33 AM

Are you going to sell the ones you have on it? If not you could always buy another set and change them out as the mood sees fit. I know it's a hassle, and you have tires and wheels sitting around, but why not!

With your paint scheme I think rally's may look weird on it. I would probably stick with aftermarket wheels.

silvereagle07 · 06-23-2009, 12:37 PM

Get someone to photoshop the wheels on the truck. It may help you decide.

boatpuller · 06-23-2009, 01:41 PM

yea,try the photochop.i love vette rallies.but,with your flame job i think i'd leave the one's you got on there.rallies look better on a stock themed truck.that's just my opinion.

silvereagle07 · 06-23-2009, 02:43 PM

My friends truck has car rallyes on it, but his truck is a solid color. I think they look good.

glock35ipsc · 06-23-2009, 03:07 PM

I like it like it is. I have chrome Vette rallys on the 68, but I think they look better against a solid color.

Cherub · 06-23-2009, 03:20 PM

i chose to go with something different. I think some 18, 19, or 20s will look killer on there.

dammitmitchell · 06-23-2009, 06:08 PM

ralleys look better on "solid themed" trucs i agree..
but with th eflame job as long as you dont go tooo euro on the rim theme it'll look good.. and dont go over 20's i feel that would make your rig look ghetto..

JohnC · 06-23-2009, 07:05 PM

We just like to make a simple decision harder by opening up more variables!

LiveAnimals · 06-23-2009, 07:29 PM

I would not even consider the corvette rallies, but if you were to change them I think the 15x6 1/2 and 15x8 truck rallies would be great. Keep in mind it looks awsome the way it is.

heavychevy79 · 06-24-2009, 01:14 AM

Put them up for trade on craigslist and see what people offer to trade.

flamingbig10 · 06-24-2009, 01:46 AM

I think I'll leave it alone for now

heavychevy79 · 06-24-2009, 02:18 AM

Tease.
