Biggest rims I have personally seen on a C10

Wow... These babies were huge! I had to whip a U-turn and snap a pic. They gotta be 26"... Guy must be the owner of the rim/tire shop it was parked in front of.

Re: Biggest rims I have personally seen on a C10

Looks like a very nice truck. I like big wheels, I am running 24's on the rear of my short box. But those are a little too large for me.

Re: Biggest rims I have personally seen on a C10

Re: Biggest rims I have personally seen on a C10

I love the way the wheels fill out the fenderwell, too bad the wheels have to be so big and the tires have to be so small to accomplish that though.

Re: Biggest rims I have personally seen on a C10

To each their own! Honestly I don't understand the big wheel trend myself. Once the wheel becomes the focal point does it matter what they are attached to? Wheels should compliment a vehicle, not dominate it, IMHO. Otherwise, beautiful truck.

A few bows and some canvas it would look like an old covered wagon.

I remember similar comments when 17's started catching on.

Those wheels don't dominate the truck, IMO. It's just a darn good looking truck, no matter what. Having said that, I think a set of 13" Dayton's might just ruin it.

Re: Biggest rims I have personally seen on a C10

Hey,that's a really nice truck! Now that I made positive remark I'd like to say I wish people would take their huge rims and find something else to do with them. When it's all about the wheels why not use them on something that could use a little help and take some credit?

Question Re: Biggest rims I have personally seen on a C10

How does he turn it? It looks to me it wouldn't turn at all unless he has bags on it and can lift it.
The truck itself is awsum though!

Re: Biggest rims I have personally seen on a C10

To each his own i guess. I love big chrome wheels, but I personally like rims that FIT properly, but hey, what do I know. LOL
