Stick with these or go with steelies?
I purchased 20" Ridler wheels and now I'm leaning towards going with an 18 or 20" black smoothie. What are you guys thoughts, I can't make up my mind so wanted some opinions before I put miles on this new set.
Thanks, Last edited by Henner; 03-02-2016 at 03:35 PM. |

Re: Stick with these or go with steelies?
Both wheels are cool. What are your goals for the truck?? Paint color? Interior style etc.

Re: Stick with these or go with steelies?
I like the Riddler wheels, but I always felt that the 20" in the front was to much, I'm in the process of trying to pickout wheels myself and I am leaning toward a 20X11 rear and 18X9 front.

Re: Stick with these or go with steelies?
For the time being which is awhile im going to leave it the factory primer and green until the funds are right to do everything properly and i will still go back with 503 green. I am going to stay factory as possible besides wheels and the bags that are installed.

Re: Stick with these or go with steelies?
IMO, those steelies would be a better visual fit on your truck.

Re: Stick with these or go with steelies?
Stock white steelies with PO3 caps. And raise that thing about half a foot, would ya? Ha. Just kidding, I vote for #2, the steelie-ish wheels - those would look better on your truck I believe.

Re: Stick with these or go with steelies?
Here's a pic of a 3/4 ton one, but there is also a 1/2 ton size (12" vs 10.5-ish")

Re: Stick with these or go with steelies?
I like the delmo specials/centerline smoothie....those five spokes are far too common.

Re: Stick with these or go with steelies?
Vote for Steele. Better look for the current patina you have.

Re: Stick with these or go with steelies?
Keep the chrome wheels you already have purchased and paint that poor thing, that is way beyond patina! FWIW

I think you need more tire, less wheel

FunkFords -- who makes those wheels and what size are you running? I really like the look.

Re: Stick with these or go with steelies?
Agreed those wheels on funkfords look great, and I dont even like large sizes. Something a little different about them..
