Which wheels? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

HuggerCST · 04-20-2009, 09:31 AM

I'm still undecided on which wheels I want, but I have narrowed my choices to these two. Which do you like better? I borrowed these pics from another member, but my truck is very similar. 17" TT2s or 17" Cragar 390s?

oldblue1968chevy · 04-20-2009, 09:37 AM

Any pics? Did you get the spinners?

big_al_71 · 04-20-2009, 09:46 AM

I would go with the cragars.....

**Stocker** · 04-20-2009, 09:48 AM

Purely subjective, but to my eye, it's no contest... TT2s look much better.

STOCKISH · 04-20-2009, 09:48 AM

I like 'em both. Sorry that doesn't help. If I had to choose, I would go with the TT2s

Sinister · 04-20-2009, 09:53 AM

Another vote for the TT2's.

bmrrwolfe · 04-20-2009, 10:09 AM

i like that both, but i think the TT2s seem a little bit more common, ive never seen the 390s before.
if it was me i'd say the cragers, i like to be unique.

I agree, I like the Cragars because they are unique, and chrome (no polishing). I don't care for the spinners, but I can get them without spinners. I can also get them in the size/backspace that I want, and they are relatively inexpensive at $227 each. They are a knockoff of the Halibrand "sprint", just cheaper. I love the TT2s and I already have a set but they don't have the backspace that I really want, and they are getting pretty common.

72BlckButy · 04-20-2009, 02:25 PM

I'd actually have to agree Wynne.... I'm leaning towards the Cragar's mainly due to the amount of TTII's on the road today.

Cragar's get my vote!

BTW... have some of the photoshop guru's work on their magic on your truck. I have had them do a few things for me and it has saved me a lot of money by see it before I buy it, so to speak.

Good luck with the choice!

dhaymaker · 04-20-2009, 03:11 PM

I agree with several of the above: I really like the TT2s, but it seems like everyone now has a set of them. I would go with the Cragars!

race-n-jason · 04-20-2009, 03:17 PM

...same here. Cragars!!!

sailed2japan · 04-20-2009, 03:19 PM

I think that the TT2's look better, until they are on the truck. personaly I think the rounded shape of the spokes on the craigers looks much better with the body lines of the truck. on top of that the taper of the spokes mimics the spear tip of the side trim. They also imediately say classic to anyone who even has the slightest interest in old cars and trucks.

maddog1331 · 04-20-2009, 03:24 PM

Personally I love the ones in the first pic, but thats just me

Put the ones on there that you like the best!

magsnubby · 04-20-2009, 03:53 PM

I'm not usually a big wheel guy, but those Cragars really work on that truck.

cdowns · 04-20-2009, 04:10 PM

over the years i've found that crager wheels tho looking good for awhile thier chrome just doesnt seem to holdup very well as time goes by

allen123 · 04-20-2009, 05:13 PM

TT2s from my eye look the best

**clay68c10** · 04-20-2009, 05:45 PM

I say the 390's. I've been eyeing them for a while, they aren't very common.

71c10bbsuper · 04-20-2009, 05:53 PM

tt2's for me ,but it,s your truck do what you like

RJ100 · 04-20-2009, 06:16 PM

Cant go wrong with Cragar 5 spoke they're classic.

**70cst** · 04-20-2009, 06:33 PM

TT2's got my vote.

Sinisterspeed · 04-22-2009, 02:17 PM

Another vote for the Craigers

white72c10 · 04-22-2009, 02:43 PM

I like the tt2 better although the cragars look good also

Number98 · 04-22-2009, 02:58 PM

Based on the fact that everywhere we look these days there's a set of Torque Thrust II's or Coys which are very similar I would go with the Cragars because they fit the style of these trucks well and the prices are nice too. It's tough though because I have always thought the Torque Thrust were some of my favorite wheels of all time!
