Re: just need some opinions

Re: just need some opinions
I'm not a fan of light blue. Always looks like baby blue to me. Unless you are thinking of something more metallic.

Re: just need some opinions
I painted mine white to try to look sort of like the stock steelies...I don't like the square holes in the rallies, i think im eventually going to get a set of 15x8 wheel vintiques for the back, and just rock the stock rims in the front

Re: just need some opinions
I'd go for a factory silver. Also, I am running 235/60 on the front of my truck with a 4.5 drop and I think it's too small of a tire. I'm swapping the rears to to the front (255/60) and installing 275 in the rear.

Re: just need some opinions
If that blue had a little more metallic in it I'd say go for it. But whatever color you choose, as long as your happy with it, that's all that matters.
