Help me decide on wheels. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am thinking of going with the black look but am undecided on the simulated beadlock color. Black on black or crome on black? These will be for big Yellow. Oh, I like the Holes not wagon wheel.

or

the chrome ones look cheesy to me.

Stay with black on black. IMO

Black on black gets my vote.

Either one of these would work

Alexis · 08-02-2005, 03:03 PM

also go with the zinc coated bolts. I saw a jeep with them and it just seemed more "raw"

meathead95 · 08-02-2005, 03:05 PM

i agree black on black with the zink bolts

2wdBlazer · 08-02-2005, 04:25 PM

My problem is chrome looks good on my truck. Shiney wheels and chrome bumpers go good. I will be putting on one of these days a Grill gaurd that is black and my roll bar is black. I thought the chrome trim might bring it all together.

Chrome would look nice with those wheels, but I kind of agree that those look a little cheesy. What about Weld Wheels Stone Crushers?

I really like the look of an aluminum wheel better than a steel one.
Should last longer too. (does up here anyway)
Just my .02

The Aluminum Wheel that VT posted is pretty sweet, but I would go black on black with zinc bolts like a few others have said.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-02-2005, 09:10 PM

Black with the chrome ring or a stone crusher lookalike.

2wdBlazer · 08-03-2005, 09:27 AM

I have to go with a steel wheel as I am running a mismatched running gear. 6 lug front and 8 lug rear. Almost all alluminum wheels in 8 lug are at leat 16 inches and my big tires are still at 85% so I'm buying new tires anytime soon.

What wheels do you have now? If you are going to scrap them, slap some black paint on them and see what you think.

I have bart supertruckers on it right now but the rears are rusted and flaking off. I have 15x10's as well and I want 15x12.
