The wheels are too distracting.

Hi i am 21 years old and i like big rims. I have 22' rims on my 72 suburban. And Hopefully i can put some 24'' rims on my other 72 sububan.

The marker lights are reversed one one side with the red in the front and clear in the rear.....

I think you mean 2"rise in pavement destroys $1 THOUSAND worth of wheel...those 24's dont come cheap no matter where you get them.

As for how it looks, not my thing.....but then I dont care for 15-16s either....everyone has their own opioion and that's what makes us keep looking at this forum...

Im going 20-22"s after I saw WRDTHIRD's truck!

give me a set of hopsters or tourq thrusts 17-18's and that is fine with me

Arad68 · 05-10-2008, 07:04 AM

I Like big wheels, but those are just too big for the truck. It is out of proportion. It reminds me of highwater pants.
Maybe he needs the extra ground clearence for his exhuast that hangs down

he must be hungry cause he has no taste at all

All I can say is...

Dingfodgy · 05-10-2008, 07:33 AM

Naw.....I don't like the hoops! Classic 5-spoke 20's is about the limit for our trucks as far as I'm concerned. Deuces and Fo's belong on Long-Haul rigs and seriously dumped old-skool Continentals and Coupe's.

Do you also have a big mural of Selena on the hood? then you might be in the running for Lowrider magazine's "bomb of 'da year"
