YES or NO on these rims- - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chevytruckluver · 10-25-2010, 05:38 PM

do you really need another NO WAY in He77?

72BlckButy · 10-25-2010, 06:08 PM

IMO... no.

nastyc10 · 10-25-2010, 06:13 PM

I wouldn't buy them either.

*lakeroadster* · 10-25-2010, 06:15 PM

I'm pretty old school.... I would also have to say no also.

Those wheels would really need to be mounted on a vehicle that had huge disc brakes with some really large calipers and rotors to look acceptable... and even then I'm thinkin I would still say no.

Also I would be worried about the strength in a truck application since only part of the rim is captured by the center.

Hope that helps.

Me personally, I wouldn't. But, if your son likes them, then YES! They are his wheels. Where I'm from, that wheel is very popular among the youngsters. So, let him get what he wants. I can guarantee he doesn't want the original rally wheels another member just posted. Y'all are forgetting, he is a teenager. Boy, oh boy, can a fill up a barrel of the stuff I did that didn't make sense when I was a teenager. The wheels may not flow with the lines of the truck, but putting these wheels on a truck to a teenager makes about as much sense as the teenagers who put 26" wheels on the Chevy cars. It a youngster thing and we wouldn't understand.

crapy67 · 10-25-2010, 06:43 PM

absolutely, NOT

72chevyk10 · 10-25-2010, 08:33 PM

im 18 and i dont understand these kids today.

all id put on a truck is either slots or the 8 hole circle wheels (like what greenbd71 posted) or other "truck" type wheels. just my opinion.

67ChevyRedneck · 10-25-2010, 06:46 PM

Yuk! So no convincing him it looks great now, huh (with the Boyd JYD rims)?

packers05 · 10-25-2010, 06:53 PM

tell your son all of the old guys on this forum think they are cool and will be ordering them for their trucks too!!

oletimer72 · 10-25-2010, 07:06 PM

That's funny!!!

I have say a big fat no too...I understand that the younger generation has totally different taste. I'll let my 14 year old son cut his hair in a style I don't like, let him wear "skinny" jeans, and listen to music that drives me nuts, but putting ugly wheels on a truck is where I'd have to draw the line...

The dual 5 spoke wheels posted earlier would be a much better option IMO.

chevytruckluver · 10-25-2010, 06:52 PM

Hey Tony
If your son does win out, then I would be interested in the Boyds!

Mike J · 10-25-2010, 07:23 PM

no no no

67ChevyRedneck · 10-25-2010, 07:28 PM

On second thought... it would look better as a steering wheel!!!

Zoomin · 10-25-2010, 07:34 PM

Paternity test?

**lolife99** · 10-25-2010, 08:31 PM

No

djimenzj · 10-25-2010, 09:00 PM

Baller status rims on a hot rod/muscle truck ? No gracias senior. I think baller type rims degrade our trucks. Just my 2 cents, sorry if I offended ya...
DONK

oldblue1968chevy · 10-25-2010, 09:14 PM

heck no im 18 and WOULD NEVER think about it, it looks like an awesome steering wheel design..show him some other trucks or have them photoshopped on,

If hes buying em with HIS money then let him, but if you are, HECCKKK NO lol

Fugly rims at that!

denny5625 · 10-25-2010, 09:20 PM

Dem rims is fugly! Big NO!

LandonL · 10-25-2010, 10:08 PM

I'm 17 and would have to say no. I mean honestly, that would kill the look of the truck. What's he thinkin?

DZL1 · 10-25-2010, 10:16 PM

I would have to agree with the majority and say no.

DZL1.

rogergodding · 10-25-2010, 10:20 PM

I might have missed something here because I did not see anyone else say that those wheels SUCK!!!!

LeatherMan69 · 10-25-2010, 10:47 PM

I think i might have thrown up a bit in my mouth

bigcow94 · 10-26-2010, 12:08 AM

i see both sides of the argument here. for everyone incuding myself, i think those wheels are hideous. on the other hand if it is a father son project and he's been putting his time in with the truck, let him put on what he wants. (wish i had the opportunity to have a father/son project.) we all know when we were young we thought of doing things that should never be done, or knew might be frowned upon, but i think most of us had more then enough common sense to realize how bad of an idea it would have been. try to show him some other wheels but if he's set on those, sooner or later he'll grow out of it and pick a wheel that will compliment the truck a lot better. SORRY FOR THE RANT FELLAS! i'll put my soap box away now
