My truck is hugger orange and I am getting ready to have my rally rims powder coated and can't decide if I want them black or hugger orange. If any body has pictures of hugger orange trucks with these colors please post.

I voted for orange. Matching rally's on these trucks just looks plain AWESOME.

*67Fleetsidedream* · 03-03-2004, 08:15 PM

I voted orange also.......(:

griesel72 · 03-03-2004, 08:36 PM

Those orange wheels will look good on any orange truck.

72superBB · 03-03-2004, 08:53 PM

Mine!

lukecp · 03-03-2004, 10:07 PM

I like them silver/grey myself. I've been wanting to ditch my cheapo 15x8 chrome directionals for a set of 15x8 rallies with center caps and proably trim rings....

rickn · 03-03-2004, 10:31 PM

like the orange if staying with that type rim

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 03-03-2004, 10:45 PM

I vote for black..

woodyjeff · 03-03-2004, 10:47 PM

I do like the orango on your truck dinnut, that thing looks sweet.

dinnut · 03-03-2004, 11:20 PM

i wish that was my truck! it was for sale down the road. had a bored out 402 with aluminum intake carb, aftermarket cam, ac, posi, completely redone. it was BEAUTIFUL! he wanted 12k though. i dont have that much money. i have some better pics of it if interested

weasel29gm · 03-04-2004, 12:49 AM

No offense but IMHO, ralleys should be gray or silver. I know theres a zillion of em'. Wheels painted body color takes the look away from the ride. Sometimes to much body color don't blend well.

70c10 · 03-04-2004, 01:16 AM

Lucas, I have a set of 8" Rally rims with trim rings for sale if interested. I'll even paint em' silver for you!

. I also like the Argent silver version myself!

JDYUSA · 03-04-2004, 01:29 AM

Since there was a nice example to look at I voted Orange. The trcuk shown is really nice.

krue · 03-04-2004, 01:45 AM

I voted black, but the silver/gray is better in my opinion.

I'll be intersted this summer....i wonder how much it would cost to ship them though....If i get around to swapping wheels this summer i will see what is available locally. If nothing turns up locally i may let you know

I would have said silver/gray before seeing the alternatives. Now I would say SILVER/GRAY without a doubt! Sorry boys, but that orange don't even look right IMHO! You asked.

**smitty62** · 03-04-2004, 09:06 AM

Rally wheels should never be painted any color except silver grey, IMO---the General knew what he was doing.

70c10 · 03-04-2004, 09:17 AM

Lucas, I forgot your truck has 5 lugs!. My rims are 6 lugs. Sorry bout that.
