Just like the title says do you think these would look good on our year trucks? I like em for the money. Something different..

not me... but I am 40...

rogergodding · 12-17-2010, 06:11 PM

allengator wants to give us "old" guys a bad rep.....

I think those would look fine.....

Danny Bost · 12-17-2010, 06:14 PM

They would look fine. And I am 45

tubbedII · 12-17-2010, 06:27 PM

Not a huge fan of them, but you could definitely do a lot worse!

rusty baker · 12-17-2010, 06:32 PM

Not my taste, but then I like original.

cam.man67 · 12-17-2010, 06:35 PM

Looks too...I dunno...ricer-ish for me. Not to say that it won't look fine on your truck--that is the beauty of this era, put practically any wheel under them and it'll look cool.

cdowns · 12-17-2010, 06:39 PM

they look like the wheels on my HHR i dont think good on a classic tho

add to that they're for front wheel drive vehicles and the bolt pattern is 5X4.5 i'd tend to think of lots o problems and waste of money

68Stepbed · 12-17-2010, 06:50 PM

I would make sure first, but I beleive those are made for front wheel drive cars.

Spoof · 12-17-2010, 07:14 PM

I'm a pretty conservative, nothing but TT2's kind of guy but I think those may look really good. Buy'em and try'em is my motto.

Ditto. We old guys have to stick together.

vectorit · 12-17-2010, 07:51 PM

yea, I too am one of those 40 somethins... They are sharp looking wheels, and personally I prefer the original recipe on our vintage trucks.

But if the said truck has been all customized out, then they may look good on that kind of build?

legendary · 12-17-2010, 08:55 PM

I am 35, and I say no.
Too skinny, too modern....a set of Vette Rally wheels would do much better if you want to go inexpensive

eagleuh1 · 12-17-2010, 09:20 PM

I think they would look OK, on a customized truck, and I'm 49. I'd have to chuck em up in the vice and drill 3 more lug nut wholes for them to fit my truck though. Lol, I like the age thing going here.

Sillyoldman · 12-17-2010, 09:35 PM

I'm good lookin and I think they would look nice on a truck with the right stance.

kq4pc · 12-17-2010, 09:47 PM

Got to put my 2 cents in, They look ok but cant beat tork thrust or rallys.and i am 63 years old and still play with trucks and cars haha Bobby

bif · 12-17-2010, 10:08 PM

I'm a stock look guy but the lil woman likes em. Bif

X 3 ...but for that price I would give them a try.

71sierragrande · 12-18-2010, 07:53 AM

I say...NOPE...and Im 44. But I say, make it your own, do what u want. Me, Im gonna go with the old cragar 5 spokes, or the cragar keystones....I know, Im ancient, but thats what I thought looked good when I was a kid...and Im stickin with it. If you think they look good, do it up.

**special-K** · 12-18-2010, 08:33 AM

They're not awful.Just not for me.Make sure they'll fit.These trucks (and anything I'd drive) look best with some dish to their wheels and I like more beef on a truck.now I'm gettin hungry.

Well, I'm 32, so I'm old enough to remember the "Where's the Beef?" commercials.

LONGHAIR · 12-18-2010, 09:24 AM

Do you remember the old ladie's name? no cheating

Andy4639 · 12-18-2010, 09:54 AM

I'm 50,
If you like them and you want them, then buy them!
Not to sound like a downer.
But,

Do you ask us about your hair or any other personal taste you have. No, so I say it's your truck make it anyway you want. Just be happy with it yourself. You are the one who parks it in the garage every night.
