i am needing some input....

i just finished my project this summer and wanted to know what ya'll thought about the wheels. should i spend some money on newer ones, or just pretty up the ones i have now? if i do get some new ones, where could i get some that fit (it is factory 6 lug all around)?

i say stick some old school cragars or something similar on it. the Cragar Series 616C would fit the 6 lug but i must admit the 5 lug Series 61 look a lot better.

those are some sweet wagons just throw on some beauty rings and you'll be set.

Beauty Rings Would Inhance The Look, But Aluminum Would Look Better.

i like those personally...

but Cragars DO look sweet... never seen 6 lug Cragars though

I like a lot of different wheels, but I think that the wagon wheels fit the personality of your truck

But if you do change em, keep it old skool !!!

It all depends on your particular tastes. Personally, I'd drop the rear about 2 inches and toss on some 8" or 10" rally's with rings and caps w/ matched tires. That would still keep the rig looking stock, but a bit blinged up IYKWIM.

Old school smoothies or gennie's with SS police caps would look good too. So would some vintage Aluminum ET's.

Rallys would look sweet! As would lowering the truck a little.

6 lug slots. There have been a few sets for sale on the board for cheap, and they look better than wagon wheels IMO.

10" rally's w/ beauty rings and 275/70r15 BF Goodrich white letter T/A's will look real nice

It's definitely a personal taste thing - as well as how you use the truck. Nice aluminum wheels if you've gotta drive every day on gravel isn't going to do any good

I personally don't like the white spoke wheels - I just think they look kinda cheap. I really like factory ralleys and the American Racing Torque Thrust D's.
