Re: what do you guys think about this new look for my 83....

I kind of like the other wheels. I think the visor really dates the look, and the other wheels look better with that look.
It would really help to have two side shots to compare.

I like the "original" wheels. Big hoops are overrated.

Ok, I am confused. I understand you don't care for the 18/20 combo, but how does that make it a "ricer truck"?.

Re: what do you guys think about this new look for my 83....

I personally like the way it looked before, maybe because it had the same stance as my truck or something. I think maybe if they were both 18's it would look alittle better. The bigger rim out back kinda makes it look like it's doing a nose dive. But hey, it's your truck, if you like it that's all that matters!
