My Ideas, what do you think? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What's happening guys,
Getting my Blazer the way I want, and thinking about one of two options, tell me what you think.

20" TTII's with chrome centers like this:

Or 20" TTII's with cast centers painted black like this:

I really like how the black centers look especially with the black grill. Feedback please. Thanks!

RED72blazer · 09-28-2005, 12:08 AM

When they came out I really liked these style of rims. I have since seen them on everything, they are the new crager. not to say thy look bad, just played. I've never seen them with blacked out centers. kinda like old mags, but cooler. I think you need to go with the black ones because it's the first time I've seen ttII's that I liked in a long time.

I like the cast centers on that truck. Is that yours using photoshop?

That is my truck after I photoshopped it. Trying my best to figure out what it will look like before I lay down the big bucks.

I like the black a lot too, and I agree the chrome ttII's are all over the place, but that's for a reason - they look really good. I've been looking into different wheels, but I haven't found any that spin mine like the modern/classic mix of these.

So far everyone likes the black centers...

71jimmy · 09-28-2005, 02:53 AM

Man that's a tough decision. But since your leaning toward the black centers, I'll vote for them too.

RED72blazer · 09-28-2005, 03:41 AM

The black ones make me want to build a 2wd just to put those rims on it.

*72CSTC5* · 09-28-2005, 08:47 AM

I say the black centers and the reason these wheels look good on these trucks is because they kind of go with the era of the bodystyle, not too modern and not too old like slots at the same time.

blazerparts · 09-28-2005, 10:27 AM

black

bouncytruck · 09-28-2005, 11:09 AM

Personally, I like the chrome wheels better, but the black is still nice. I like the look of the Intro V-Rod, Vista and Twisted Vista on 2wd Blazers.

V-Rod

Vista

Twisted Vista

**Yukon Jack** · 09-28-2005, 11:24 AM

Definitely like the black centers - that will be a sweet ride!

**raggedjim** · 09-28-2005, 12:32 PM

I had a set of the AR cp200's with cast dark gray centers. I like the cast centers too.

The TTII's maybe used alot but there's a reason for it, they look great on anything...

dark spoke!

looks wicked!

I'm not much for white paint but those wheels makes it seem a whole lot better.

Thos V-rod's look badass!

RED72blazer · 09-28-2005, 04:57 PM

how about the vista with the inner non polished triangle done in black? photoshop anyone?

Pop's72 · 09-28-2005, 07:43 PM

I never been big on black rims

those black rims look sick (would look sick) on your Blazer.

Just imagine looking at it with the black grill also in the view, Sweet!!

krue · 09-29-2005, 03:47 AM

Definitely like the black centers.

**special-K** · 09-29-2005, 07:14 AM

Torque Thrusts will never look played on these trucks or muscle cars.Both the cast andpolished look great!

**N2TRUX** · 09-29-2005, 10:13 AM

If you like the dark center why not consider the Amerciab Racing "Salt Flat" wheel....

The problem is they don't go up to a 20". I e-mailed them and they said it wasn't even in the works.

**N2TRUX** · 09-30-2005, 12:05 AM

Yeah, I keep getting conflicting stories. When they first came out they were selling pretty well and a rep at a show told me 20's were in the works. Now I hear they are not, but might be....blah, blah, blah.

Same story I get from Intro. These were on display at the Intro booth in 03. They were going to be in production soon....

mastercraftkpk · 09-30-2005, 01:57 PM

Take a look at the painted centers painted a color to match your interior instead of black. I think that the black center de-emphasizes the best parts of that rim. If your interior is brown/tan, go with a metallic/pearl tan.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 10-02-2005, 05:35 PM

I like the black myself could we get some more pics of your blazer very nice looking ride you have..
