Dig it !

Bennett68C10 · 08-29-2012, 10:28 AM

Oh boy don't start doing that lol

RocketKing · 08-29-2012, 10:33 AM

Oh.. that's pretty sharp!

big_al_71 · 08-29-2012, 10:46 AM

Chad save your money and keep the hubcaps the truck will look perfect just like Rene's gumby

CC69Rat · 08-29-2012, 11:28 AM

I dont know man .. I really like the billets. But, I must say I'm considering the caps too. Just with big brakes and stuff it doesn't make sense anymore. It would definitely look good though.

The GMC has power drum on it now. The brakes will stand you on your nose. humm, .. big brakes on the stepper ?

Lolyin58 · 08-29-2012, 01:44 PM

Chad I love the pic of your truck. Trucks coming out quite nicely. I love that its a GMC too. Looks great wearing the hub caps and I agree with Al. Keep them!!!!

VA72C10 · 08-29-2012, 04:07 PM

So glad you're back on here with updates! Bed parts look great!

I REALLY like the look of the truck slammed with caps. Big brakes on the stepper and you've solved your wheel problem

CC69Rat · 09-04-2012, 05:21 PM

Good, bad .. what if I put a wheel similar to this on my truck? I just want something different, and as much as I want billets .. I'm still not convinced I want to put $3k into wheels. These are $240ea. They'd look cool with Big brakes too.

.. just something kinda sinister looking, and I saw the new Hit and Run movie over the weekend. I really like the wheels on the Lincoln. Does anyone know what wheel that is? This style of wheel, not nessicarily these exact wheels. They come in a silver face too. Black may look pretty cool on the black truck though.

gringoloco · 09-04-2012, 05:55 PM

I like em! Not sure they fit with the woodgrain, though. Black trim would work better. Maybe a grey face? I do like the direction and I'm always looking for ways to be different/cool without spending big bucks...

shawno72 · 09-04-2012, 06:28 PM

I like them too Chad, has kind of a Budnik feel to them.

CC69Rat · 09-04-2012, 07:15 PM

I could do Coys, or $2800 for some Intros .. but, I'm planning to flog this truck a little. The first time it goes to Goodguys, there are some cones in the plans. Do you really drive in the rain with $3k billets? I know, we've talked about it before. I'm just trying to weigh every option. This sype of wheel would definitely bring the old truck into the present time period. Yeah, the wheels really look better on a Corvette or M3 or something .. but take a look at this one. I saw this truck at Nashville GG and it's really saying something man. This truck just has a look about it. I wouldn't do ALL flat black, but on this truck it works (for me)

<<< Has 3k dollar billet wheels and have driven in the rain Nothing happens you wash them and dry them

Make sure that you make the right descision God knows
i have been thru three sets of wheel till I finally bought what I should of bought right from the begininng. My biggest hurdle was getting over the fact of spending 3k on wheels.

original-71 · 09-05-2012, 10:02 AM

my buddy had the 227's on his 84 and it did look good then he upgraded to some Raceline's and you can see the big difference in the paint, it really shines alot more IMO

I have billets on my GTO that doesn't see a lot of rain. However, if you get caught driving when it starts to rain, you'll want to wash and dry them quickly. I've had my billets for 11+ years and they were polished at least three times a year for a couple of years and now I'm lucky if I do it once a year. It's a PITA and time consuming. I'd rather have them chromed than polish them all the time. Even polished, they don't shine like they did new. Brake dust, road grime, etc. from normal driving will increase the scratch potential. Heck, just washing and drying them will put fine scratches or swirls in it. You have to be very meticulous with them if you want them to keep their mirror-like shine.

If it was my daily, I wouldn't buy billets. Maybe I'm just lazy.

**cericd** · 09-04-2012, 07:41 PM

Hey Chad. Wheel selection is certainly a personal preference thing (I'm more of a classic wheel guy for these trucks) but of the two, I prefer the one on Mortotopia. I thinks it's because of the fewer spokes. Lots of spokes makes me think BMW or that type of thing. The one on Motortopia still maintains a "muscular" look while being able to get it done in the curves.

Bennett68C10 · 09-04-2012, 07:42 PM

Chad just my opinion since this truck is going to be a daily driver for you, I wouldn't put billets on it unless you really feel like polishing alot. I would run Coys or something similar like the Showwheel Streeters on a daily. It would look bad ass. Then I would put the money you save on the wheels into bagging the Stepper

CC69Rat · 09-04-2012, 08:43 PM

I don't know fellas .. I really, really like this wheel. Silver or black, .. it's really clean looking. I just want to step out of the norm a little. I love the 5 spoke look, my S10 had TT2's and the stepper with BS 5 spokes. I just want someone to see it and go .. what the ??

PLUS, I can get the whole set for around $1,000. If they get stained, or dirty it won't be such a big deal. Summit has the fronts for $216 ea.

**cericd** · 09-04-2012, 08:54 PM

The silver looks nice one black. Wish that was a side shot though.

So are you leaning towards silver or black?

Get them in whatever color is cheaper, then paint 'em a matte charcoal metallic. You'll be different and unique
