Help Me Decide On New Wheels... I am indecisive! (PICS) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

68CST327 · 01-07-2005, 03:55 PM

Hey guys and gals. My old white wagon wheels and 27 (!!!) year old tires have got to go. Help me choose what my next wheels will be. So far, these are the three I've narrowed it down to: (these are going to be 8-lug wheels in a 16x8 size)

1. Eagle 101:

I like the look of these, though they are becoming popular. Maybe too many holes? The backspacing on these is 3 5/8" on a 16x8 wheel. I don't know if that will present a problem.

2. Center Line Wilderness Scout:

Larger version: http://www.centerlinewheels.com/imag...ut_451x421.jpg

These are nice. Simple design, and also they are 10 holed instead of the 8 holers like everyone else has. Though, they may look too similar to the Eagle 058's for anyone to notice.

3. American Racing Outlaw II

Yeah, I know. Majorly played out, right? I think though that these are still good looking wheels, and that maybe people are beginning to stop using them. I actually don't see them on too many trucks anymore. I don't know, there's just something about them on these 67-72's that I like. For instance, my two favorite trucks, mikep's and dion's, both use these wheels. Coincidence? I don't know...

Well, thanks everyone for reading.

The Eagles ones. I like the way the holes are two-level. Kind of a recess, then the hole.

I like #2

mblackburnjr · 01-07-2005, 03:58 PM

I'm going to go with the original light green. The interior is in close to perfect condition (had a camper over it for 34 years), plus the color really grew on me so I figured what the heck.

barn9 · 01-07-2005, 04:07 PM

#2 would be my choice.

Bill72BB · 01-07-2005, 04:11 PM

I like #2 they are close to what I have on BB , made by Eagle.

I like the real #1's.....that is Chrome Rally's with Derby caps

.

1972 · 01-07-2005, 04:54 PM

I like #3 because I don't like polishing my wheels every weekend. #1 and #2 need polishing to stay shiny, #3 is a "no maintanance" wheel - just wash it when you wash the truck.

smokekiki · 01-07-2005, 05:09 PM

I like #1.As far as polishing goes,I have welds on my 4x4 van.i polish once in the early spring after the salt is off the roads,once during the summer and once in late fall.i use Busches polish.I use A2z spray cleaner every time i wash.
