Re: Put the stock wheels back on PICS
It does look very nice now, maybe even better than it used too... tall and skinny is the only way to go on a 4x4.

Re: Put the stock wheels back on PICS
That looks a lot better. Although those old school "rims" do bring back a bit of nostalgia, I wouldn't get rid of them myself. The steels where a big selling point for me when I bought my truck.

Re: Put the stock wheels back on PICS
Mucho Grande better...

I've been toying with the idea of putting my stockers back on with hubcaps... But I want to widen the rears to 10".

Re: Put the stock wheels back on PICS
I'd use the hurricanes for a set of massive gumbo bias plys to go the full nostalgia with them and throw them on when I just want to go run over crap.

Re: Put the stock wheels back on PICS
I like the look of your truck! If I ever get a 4x4 thats how I want it to look. I'm going to change my wheels on my 2wd. I have american racing wheels now and picked up some steelies.

The Alcoa that came with mine were nice but definitely not my style.
