Which Wheels? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

yfs200p · 02-25-2004, 08:26 PM

Hey you guys i am trying to decide what wheels would look best on my truck, i am deciding between these three
1. Weld Sidewinder - around $200 a piece
2. AR Outlaw II's - Around $90 a piece
3. Eagle Alloys 589 - around $100 a piece

if i go with outlaw II's they will be much deeper than the ones in the pic(15x10), so take that into consideration.
Heres my truck:

#3 is hands down the best. But I think that truck lookes nice with the Rally's though.

3 thats what i got on my truck.. They look the best!

BowTieMan · 02-26-2004, 12:33 AM

#3 will look the best.

soleeagle · 02-26-2004, 01:28 AM

I would choose #3 if those are your choices. Here are the ones I just bought. The only thing is that they are mad for newer trucks without lock outs on them so I had to take the 2 center caps to work and machine them out to fit over them. I got them from Jegs for 119.95.

Mudder · 02-26-2004, 05:45 AM

I wanna play.............I say number one #1....

trukkers69 · 02-26-2004, 11:51 AM

I like #1 , but pocket book likes #3. Either way you will end up with a great looking set of wheels.

I know its what you already have. But I dig rally wheels on just about anything chevy. I had 15x10 alloy wheels on my 4x4 suburban and I offered a guy with stock rally wheels to trade straight across if he paid for the tires to be swapped. He jumped on it like I was crazy. I got the better deal. I love Rally's

#1 definitely looks the best. Simple, classy but still unique.
#3 Also looks good on most trucks, but the design is so common and all over the place now and almost on all big rigs.
#2 Looked real good when they first came out, until everyone started using them or some other variety, thereof. They tried to mimmic the 3 peice wheels 2 decades ago but even the expensive 3 peice wheels they were designed after look outdated and old after everyone started using them.

If you have the money, go with #1.
#3 would be the best buy for the money, but if more and more people put them on their trucks, they might fall in the category of #2. I think #3 looks best from years 67-87.
Stock rallies will never get outdated if you stay close to stock.
Just my humble opinion.

TRUK · 03-03-2004, 02:32 AM

I dig the rally wheels on chevys too. But from the 3 listed i'd go with #3. If it's width your looking for, I found a guy who will do rally wheels in 10+ inch widths. Check out this website.

I saw these on a newer GMC 4x4 and thought they looked sharp.

earl87gta · 03-09-2004, 12:02 AM

How abought a set of MT classic II 16.5x 9.75 abought 300 miles on them no center caps 250 plus shipping.
