These are my new wheels, What do you guy's think? be honest, I think they look like crap my self, gess you never know till they are on the vehicle.

kyle4381 · 02-06-2007, 02:38 PM

They look out of place, but different is good.. Nice ride.

1LoC10 · 02-06-2007, 02:50 PM

I don't like them, the shape of the spokes make them look all bent and beat up... truck looks bad ass though, not sure what you had before, but some nice deep dish rallyes would look sharp

steverino66 · 02-06-2007, 04:05 PM

sorry, but I concur - fugly; cool truck though!

thekid54 · 02-06-2007, 04:51 PM

Clean truck, wheels don't do the truck justice. BTW, you're missing a lugnut in the rear.

yea they take away from your truck,but maybe if you went with a bigger wider tire?

SkylineNXS · 02-06-2007, 05:09 PM

I say their ok, but like people said, they make em look bent or outta shape. My trucks almost the exact same color, so at least i know what wheels not to get.......

Hate to say it, but I agree with everyone.

BIG CTY · 02-06-2007, 06:12 PM

Not digging the wheels, but REALLY digging the truck

**slepysal** · 02-06-2007, 09:23 PM

Are they Pacer or Ultra Wheels ?

oopstruck · 02-06-2007, 09:28 PM

something not quite right about those wheels. I think they would look good on something else. great truck otherwise

Yup I use to work at a Wheel shop, when those ( or some that looked like them) came out I thought they looked odd. I did see some on a 4X4 with some 35" mudders and they looked decent.
If you realy hate them post a "trade" on Craigs list.

*LAFNATU* · 02-07-2007, 10:15 AM

Big city has the wheels that I wanted for my truck, but could'nt find them anywhere, But I just live in Montana so their arnt a hole lot of car shows to go to and it dosent take much to impress us up here, besides we only get a few good months of good driving weather, and the rest of the time its hiding in the garage. Thanks for the imput guy's, after everyone at work thought they were cool and I thought they looked like crap, I needed some non face to face opinions... Maybe by next year I wil be able to find the perfect wheel and tire combo...

Man, I searched LONG AND HARD for slotted mags. I ended up getting them from eBay. I have 15 x 8.5's all around, with 215/70 in front, and 265/60 in the rear - from a used tire place. All I do is burn the rears up anyway. Oh the power of a straight 6...

I actually still have 3 15 x7 slotted mags in the garage. I holding on to one for a spare, and I'll probably end up selling the other two if I don't get another truck

Frizzle Fry · 02-07-2007, 01:10 PM

Nice clean truck. Those wheels take it down about ten notches for me. With the right wheels that thing could be a jaw dropper.

SIR · 02-07-2007, 02:00 PM

maybe something a bit more classic??

*zeitlerusmc* · 02-07-2007, 04:52 PM

I'm not going to lie to you man those are ugly as some of my ex girlfriends (thats really ugly) gorgeous truck though!!!

19GMC63 · 02-07-2007, 05:18 PM

Sweet truck, but i'm not diggin those wheels. Look like wal-mart hubcaps.

I love the slotted mags, I found an original set of Ansens for my vair on e-bay.

American racing makes them now, but I believe 5 lugs only.

No they make 6 lug's too Summit Racing sells them

19GMC63 · 02-07-2007, 09:17 PM

they sure do don't they... 6 x 5 1/2

not priced to bad either, between 150 and 170.

1restorick · 02-07-2007, 09:22 PM

Folks, I picked up a set of 16" X 8" Mickey Thompson Classics from Summit. I grew tired of the truck rally wheels after 20 plus years. They fit real nice with a 4 5/8" backspacing. I post a picture here soon. I just got registered to the forum today.

**Chevy Fleetside** · 02-07-2007, 11:44 PM

maybe some smoothies... I am getting tired of them...

pcmcobra · 02-07-2007, 11:56 PM

that truck could be so much more with a different wheel choice.

jtm · 02-08-2007, 04:14 PM

i like that you kept the six lugs...just upgraded to disc brakes in front on mine but paid extra for the six lug so i could keep the "traditional look"...mine are just steel wheels painted flat black with stainless rim and hub covers...

...your wheels look funky but truck is great...
