My NEW used wheels :o)

First lets start with the look of the old ones.





Truck is a little dirty from sitting for the last two years in outside.

Now the new ones. )





Just dont know if I like the look of the offset of these ones. Thats the bad part about getting used wheels.

So let me know what you all think looks best.

Re: My NEW used wheels :o)

New ones look great and so did the old ones. Did you keep the old ones so you can change up the look if you want to?

Re: My NEW used wheels :o)

Thanks for the replies. For now the TT2s will stay on. 5 slots are going in the shead next to the stock wheels/hubcaps. Now just to get working on her again.

Re: My NEW used wheels :o)

I dig the new ones better, but it needs a little more tire in front.

FWIW, those are TT D's not TTII's

I like the new...but the old ones aren't bad at all. I see your dilemma.

Re: My NEW used wheels :o)

Yeah I noticed that I said TT2s and ment to just say TTs. Was in the middle of doing 5 things at once and just left it. Also posted my blazer rollbar in the wrong forum.

As of now I wont be selling any of the rims. Will just swap them back an forth. Again thanks for all the comments.
