Re: Newer Look- Whatcha Think?

Very Nice Truck!!!
You will probably get a mix of reviews. Both look great. Whatever makes you happy is most important. But since you asked, I like the chrome slightly more.

Look Great! Same look I am going for except I have whitewall tires and my bumpers and grill will be white, and I bought HotRod Flatz Black.

Re: Newer Look- Whatcha Think?

I have to say both! Looks awesome! But I would prefer the rims painted the same blue as the truck with the chrome trim on the rim...just my thought. But I have to say, nice job! And like said...Whatever you like is more important. T.J.

Red is a nice contrast.

Beautiful truck either way, but I like the rally wheels better.

Re: Newer Look- Whatcha Think?

That's a great looking truck! I like the contrast of the wheels now that you painted them red. With the red, white, and blue, that truck really is pure America now.

Re: Newer Look- Whatcha Think?

I like the painted wheals more than chrome. I would go with whit or blue though. I am not anti patriotic or any thing but I have never liked the hole red, white and blue truck thing.

Clean truck.. Super Nice. Sorry, im going to vote on WHITE. I think that blue is awsome. White rallyes would set it off.

Re: Newer Look- Whatcha Think?

I like them both also. I would favor the rally wheels over the smoothies.

Re: Newer Look- Whatcha Think?

Seems like plenty of folks like it no matter which ones you roll, but I personally prefer the smoothies. Reason being is they got that ol' school vibe going for them and they kinda give it a 60's-70's hot rod look. I always liked smoothies ever since I was a bicycling punk kid dreaming of driving a hot rod of his own. Yep , that was the 70's

I think the white letter tires complete the look with those smoothies too. Nice truck any way you do it though.
