I like big billet rims but with the look of your truck I think that the wide whites and painted rims look right at home. I say don't mess with a good thing.

Just my two cents

I know what you mean about winter....I only put 150 miles on my truck this summer after the long 10 yr build. I keep going out in the garage to hang out with it....ha ha. I still need to finish my interior so that's my excuse.

PS: ...Happy X-Mas to all of you...

they give the illusion that the tires are narrower than they really are.Also if the stance and the wheel centers are off they will look farther than it really is. If you aren't carefull it will look like a big hot wheels.

on the other hand when done well {look at youngrodder's} the lack of over polished parts dosen't draw your eye away from the rest of the truck.

Just my $0.02

to search on ebay, just type in the year and make, like 1951 GMC truck. If that is not the only year, use a range like 1951-1954

makes it easy to clean your driverway, just pullout and sweep it off.
