Re: ok everyone please input your opinion
I put the 107 aluminum rally wheels on my 64 SS Impala. They have both wheel patterns for Chevy cars & trucks.
Wheels tires mounted balanced with center caps for $1300.00 18" wheels. You can get different centers for them also.

Re: ok everyone please input your opinion
At the end of the day, Who gives a rats a$$ what everyone else thinks. If you like the wheels? buy them. At every show you go to you will find everything from 15" stockers to 24" billets. Some like it all, some are very particular as to what they like. I personally prefer larger diameter after market wheels, but thats just me.
I like the idea of the rally wheels, but in reality I think that the space between square cutouts and the center is too far and throws the proportions off a little. Another aspect to consider is the tire costa and availability. 18" tires are not a very popular size so they may be quite expensive. I'm not 100% sure on this but its something to think about. I just recently bought some 15" tires for my 98' and they were more expensive than the last set of 20" tires i had bought.

Re: ok everyone please input your opinion
I'm a 4x4 guy, but a truck like yours would look good with the larger rims ONLY if it was slammed with a BB and a blower out the hood, huge fatties on the rear and skinnies on the front.
Otherwise, I like the Cragar style wheels a lot. Put the $$$ into something to make it faster and louder.

Re: ok everyone please input your opinion
As I have "wheels that belong on a Camaro" , I like ralley's , but they "work' with full-chrome trucks , like the green photo-shop. Truck looks great as-is , doesn't have enough extra chrome to tie in with stock rally look.

Re: ok everyone please input your opinion
Got a lot of fuddy duddies on this board . Honestly I don't like the rims on the truck now . Bright chrome and blah design . Kinda cheapens that sweet truck . It's nice to change things up every now and Then . Keeps your interest in the truck and hobby .

Re: ok everyone please input your opinion
My 2cents...Dont like rallys. I do like the ones Ekliptix posted up, I have Centerlines that resemble those on my truck.
But ya at the end of the day its what you like that counts.

Re: ok everyone please input your opinion
It's your truck. If you really like them and have the means to buy them, just buy them.

Re: ok everyone please input your opinion
If you were doing The rallies in 15s, I'd say go for it. In 18s they don't look right. I think they look like they belong on a matchbox car. BTW, $3,000 is rediculous.

Re: ok everyone please input your opinion
You asked, so I'm going to tell.
I like stock stance heights, stock tires, and stock wheels. Anything else looks silly to me. Boom, I typed it. I hope no snowflakes read this comment and get their feelings hurt. OP: I don't think subjective things like "what wheels look good?" are the best things to ask anyone but yourself. Buy what you like, want, and can afford and do your own thing. If it looks good to you it probably looks good. Discussion forums are best for asking advice on what works and how, not what looks good. It's your truck, not ours.

Re: ok everyone please input your opinion
I'm with the majority here, keep the wheels you have on it, they look great on your truck, use the coin for some Xmas gifts for the wife n kids, maybe something else for the truck.
