Wheel choices

hello.. In my build of the 71 c-10 with no money.. I'm try'n to pick what rims to use on the truck.. as ? as I've stock piled a few sets..
here is a truck like mine to use to judge as I don't have a good side few pic on file.. mines a long bed and no white top same color but no lower molding trim.


here are the type on it.. these are alum center with steel rim.. fronts are 7 or 8" rears are 10"
I like the look of these, but they'll need work, maybe the centers painted a gunmetal color or body color(vet yellow)
and the rims painted g.m. argent silver(rally wheel color) Ideas??


I also have a set of cragar SS that are new never used they are 8" thanks dad



a set of nascar style wheels these are 7"


the western these are new never used and are 8" (pic isn't my wheels just on net)
these are as cast with a brushed rim


the z-28 wheel (these will require a lug nut bolt circle change)


other???
thanks

Re: Wheel choices

i know it may sound crazy, but your wheels that are on there now try cleaning it with an SOS pad i know it will take some of that rust off not sure exactly how bad they are but my trailor wheels started to get some rust on them when i had it outside used and SOS pad and cleaned them right up to new again.

Re: Wheel choices

On a yellow truck the cragars are going to look the best.

Re: Wheel choices

I think the Cragers would look pretty good, however for some reason I really like the Z-28 wheels!
