Future wheel delema (need your input) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

wwotr · 02-09-2010, 04:21 AM

This is one of my Future Dilemmas.

I LOVE the Style of BOTH the Weld "Pro Star" and the Centerline "Telstar".
My problem is, (and here's where you guys come in), is whether to stay with a 15" Wheel and Double the width of the rear Wheel Well,

OR

to go with the Centerline "Telstar" which comes in a 18" & 20" Size.
In THAT scenario, I'd put 20's in the back and 18" in Front.

So I'm asking your opinions.
OPTION #1:
Centerline "Telstars" or Weld "Pro Stars" with...
(15X10" Rear & 15X6" in Front).

Option #2:
Centerline "Telstars" with...
(20X10" Rear & 18X6" Front)

and your reasoning as to why?

Also if your Truck has Option #1 or Option #2 Wheel Sizes,(Doesnt have to be THAT BRAND), Pictures would be appreciated.

Not big on the whole prostreet look so I went with the 18/20 combo

OARNGESI · 02-09-2010, 05:17 AM

Do the centerlines come in 20x14 that would look good with a 20x8.5 in the front

I havent researched it THAT far yet.
I was just throwing out that Front Wheel Measurment.
I LOVE the Pro-Street look, but I don't want to go super skinny in Fron,
with the Tire being inside the Front Fenderwell by 5"-7".
To me that looks like the Front End is overloading the thire.

I vote opion #1. I'm runnin 15x10 mags in back, 4" bs, with stock painted steelies in the front. Chris.

idonutn0 · 02-09-2010, 08:49 AM

What you have on there now looks pretty bad a$$ to me, Id keep them.
If you do change them out, go with option 2 with the center stars black and the outer ring in chrome.

**N2TRUX** · 02-09-2010, 08:53 AM

Option #2 gets my vote. I think the wheel is cleaner looking. In my mind the 18/20 combo fits these trucks perfectly with a mild drop.

Hottrucks · 02-09-2010, 09:02 AM

I choose NEITHER...send your $ and get a set of rallies to match with some width!!

I like the look you have I'm having a set of 6 lug rallies widened to 14" for a set of sneakers

**lolife99** · 02-09-2010, 09:05 AM

20x8 and 20x9.5 Telstars

Danny Bost · 02-09-2010, 11:13 AM

15's all the way, but I like what you have on there now as well.

Hubscrub · 02-09-2010, 08:02 PM

#1, but i think the ones on it look the best

68Stepbed · 02-10-2010, 09:34 AM

I personally don't like anything bigger than 18's myself. I would say 17 or 18" all around if available. If not, go with the 15" Telstars.

dieselarmy13 · 02-10-2010, 11:15 AM

Your truck is badass. Why would you change it?

greg65 · 02-10-2010, 11:39 AM

Right after the Tel Star come out back in the '90's I bought a set for my truck and still have them. At the time all you could by was 15" wheels. I think the 18 and 20 inch would look great. Here are a few pictures of mine, wrong year truck but right wheel.

That is a clean looking truck. I've always been a fan of the telstars, but i think i voted for 15s all the way around.
