I've been thinking about gumbo mudders or hawgs- sure would complete the old school lost in time look

I guess that would mean the '99 Silverado seats would have to go. Buddy buckets? gonna have to do a liquor store job for those

I like these wheels also, I vote keep em' and the tire size. Looks GR8 to me just like it is.

"Hurricanes" I call them. ok, but I like bullet holes!!!

**special-K** · 04-24-2007, 06:55 AM

I think those particular ones are Hurricanes.There were Turbo-Vecs and a few other variations.But,they were generally known as Turbines or finned aluminum.Turbines after the first carnation of this design and finned aluminum for just what they are,like slots.
I like the taller tires,too.

I think you have a winner with those wheels. I wouldn't hesitate to run them. They look great.

I agree with the shift man....not my choice in wheels. But I would never knock them if you like em'. I thought for some reason they were called Vectors???

shifty · 04-24-2007, 10:50 AM

Yeah, there was a wheel with the same setup, called 'vortex', I also remember 'directionals' (popular on Iroc's) which had teardrop shaped slots in them (there was the directional like Slick71 posted above also), and then there were also "typhoons" but I can't remember what they looked like.

I personally just love the wheels that Slick71 posted above, whether on a lowered truck, raised truck or otherwise. Look good all around.

**Yukon Jack** · 04-24-2007, 12:59 PM

They look great to me also and I'd run them for sure on my K20!

67ChevyRedneck · 04-24-2007, 01:02 PM

They look good to me, I wouldn't change a thing

va_tlc · 04-24-2007, 01:12 PM

lovem..... fits your truck perfect as someone metioned if the truck had beed rebuilt with all new chrome and bumpers and all maybe a shiny wheel would look better. but its perfect he way ya have it

msgross · 04-24-2007, 01:25 PM

I like it as is...

jkaylor68gmc · 04-24-2007, 01:54 PM

a little dated but the truck is freakin awesome, I love the truck, it looks great.

Dean · 04-24-2007, 02:10 PM

I like them. They fit the truck more than any of the newer wheels. I have the style on both of my K20s with 35" BFG.
