Need Input on Wheels Please
I am just about finished with my 84 but now I am looking at it and thinking the wheels have to go. I am strongly leaning toward oem sized American Racing Torque Thrust II's but I am really open to ideas. Its going to be just a summer driver.

Re: Need Input on Wheels Please
Trim rings and center caps would do wonders.

Re: Need Input on Wheels Please
Some used drag lites, or drag stars can be picked up pretty cheap. Would definitely compliment your cowl induction hood.

Re: Need Input on Wheels Please
I'm not a rally wheel fan but my first thought was it looks unfinished as is, needs caps and rings or at least caps.

Re: Need Input on Wheels Please
A set of Draglites always looks killer. Soft-8s would look good too. I don't care for rallys much at all.

Re: Need Input on Wheels Please
A nice set of billets would sure set that truck off if the budget allows....
Billet Specialties, Intro, Raceline, Budnick, etc If it was me, I'd do this in the meantime. |

Re: Need Input on Wheels Please
I may try a set of caps and see how it looks but I hate trim rings, they gouge the crap out of the wheels. Im also thinking about American Racing Outlaws too

Re: Need Input on Wheels Please
I think it would look great with rallys and some caps. But if you don't like the rallys then I think the Torque thrust wheels would look great to.

Re: Need Input on Wheels Please
Have you thought of stepping up to 17's or 20's? With a classic looking rim they look great, and handle much better.
