LOL, I don't know how many times I've said that....

I don't know what they are called but I vote the bottom ones (225's?).

menace121978 · 06-09-2010, 08:38 PM

thanks for all the help and suggestions guys!!! much apprieciated! i'm gonna give the 225's a shot

i just gotta get one more important persons opinion... my pops

i know 1st thing he's gonna ask "where the hell's the mags!"

then i'm going to place my order

Trick76 · 06-09-2010, 08:59 PM

WHOAAAHHHHH...did I miss what happened to the slot mags?? DIBS if they are for sale, and you know I live real close

Oh and between the two...Coys all day long

Cherub · 06-09-2010, 09:27 PM

I know you already made a decision but ill add my two cents. I originaly purchased the coys and when they arrived they looked good but the shine wasnt on par with other polished rims i have owned. I ended up selling them when i lost my job. when it was time to order them again the service i got from coys was very poopy. So i looked around and went with the 225s. the shine is good but it is a billet and takes matainence. i also think that they are made out of a soft metal, so be carefull with pot holes.

menace121978 · 06-09-2010, 09:44 PM

thanks for the input buddy... ive never had such a hard time with something like this! picking the color was ALOT easier!!! i'm not worried about the maintence. that's just part of the deal

i hope the shine doesnt over power all the trim on my truck... i guess we'll see

and on the slots man... i will never get rid of them. as story has it, after my grandfather picked up the truck at the dealer he went straight to a tire shop and had the anson's put on with 60 series tires! so i have to hold on to them. they are just part of the truck

STOCKISH · 06-09-2010, 10:00 PM

Going to look good buddy! Cant wait for pics.

qu1cks1lver56 · 06-09-2010, 10:02 PM

coys

**lolife99** · 06-09-2010, 10:39 PM

Did anyone ever confirm if the Eagle 225's fit the front hubs with 1.25" wide rotors?

draggin86 · 06-09-2010, 11:10 PM

lolife99 i think they are having the same issue as the 338

That's what I thought.
Buyer beware,...

54Caddy · 06-09-2010, 11:26 PM

Dont get either the rims man finish polishing out all the mags and run them bad boys. Or let me run them on the truck theyll be in good hands ahahaha.

WigglesTheHoly · 06-10-2010, 12:31 AM

I vote coys the eagles are just too shiney

silvereagle07 · 06-10-2010, 08:04 AM

Dennis I think the 225's would look sik on your truck with the shiney new paint.

Uhh...that's not the only reason.....it's because they are CHEAP. They are a COPY of an American TQ, which is more a more expensive (and better quality) wheel....
Sure, they look "ok", but they are not up to the QUALITY of other, similar style wheels....like Intro, Team III, American, Cragar, etc....

Cheap and VALUE are not the same thing.....

Jonboy · 06-10-2010, 06:45 PM

I vote neither. Put a set of Ansen 17" wheels on the truck to change it up, but still keep it's original character. They a re a heck of a lot cheaper, to boot.

CLASSIC87' · 06-10-2010, 07:12 PM

On know this isn't on choice of 2 above... but I myself would look into these as well.

Uhhhh.... no doubt all of those wheels you mentioned are much better quality, but he is asking about Coys or AR 225's... I said that the "classic style" will never be over done... The 225's are a copy of a few different wheels as well....

big10ratrod77 · 06-10-2010, 07:58 PM

i vote the wheels in the bottem pic they are hot

Tell us how you really feel!

But dont be a hater... Just kidding

muthstryker · 06-10-2010, 08:30 PM

I vote for the 225s, If you havent seen them in person you need to. They are really a nice wheel for the price, honestly I was shocked when we pulled them out of the boxes. Wasnt expecting them to be that nice, But be aware just like on the other thread the 1.25" HD brakes will not fit into the wheel center bore. They need to be shaved down about an 1/8 of an inch.

menace121978 · 06-10-2010, 08:39 PM

thanks guys for all the honest opinions!!

so when you say shaved down are you talking about the rotor hub needs to be ground down all the way back to the rotor 1/8th inch? or just the front part? and will the center caps go on without any problems?

muthstryker · 06-10-2010, 11:14 PM

Just the front part of the hub needs to be ground down, not all the way back though. To the lip thats there.. I will get a pic later on my phone.

muthstryker · 06-10-2010, 11:16 PM

Not sure on the center caps, havent put my wheels on all the way yet.
