I saw these rims while shopping and thought man those are sweet. But i could NEVER imagine them on our trucks.

72armyswbtruck · 12-12-2007, 11:40 PM

Sounds like a photoshop challange

chev74 · 12-13-2007, 01:54 AM

personally i find those appalling. but thats just me. I like to keep it simple

smoky02 · 12-13-2007, 08:02 AM

I don't know...those could look good on our trucks...but the truck would have to be setup and painted around the rims...LOL

*Billla* · 12-13-2007, 09:34 AM

I could see those on a "bumblebee" lowered '67 with black grill and accents...not my cup of tea, but they'd be cool

weasel29gm · 12-13-2007, 10:38 AM

To much RICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slammed70 · 12-13-2007, 10:39 AM

Those are fugly.

Get rid of the yellow and leave just the black star and they might be alright....looks like you got to take the yellow off anyway to change the wheel.

*Shane* · 12-13-2007, 10:59 AM

... this is a joke ... right?

Not my taste....

Those look like they would be used to process rice, making them efficient for the cars they belong on. Never mix automotive tech with video games.

69C10@16 · 12-13-2007, 04:21 PM

I agree that they rnt the best looking rims in the world. I lke old school cragar S/S wheels. I agree it does sound like a photoshop challenge. If anybody feels the urge go for it. I dont want to post it in the photoshop area because as I'm about to make some rim choices I will be asking enuff of them pretty soon anyways. I figure i'd keep it down the the necessary jobs so they rnt busier just for my fun.

Sequoyah · 12-13-2007, 04:28 PM

Yeah...it would look bad. Not bad meaning good, just bad meaning bad.

69C10@16 · 12-13-2007, 04:29 PM

lol. good job specifying sequoyah. I agree. it might look decent on a lil bitty import with a pop can muffler. but not on a badazz truck like these.

*1972Ryan* · 12-13-2007, 04:46 PM

I just bought a set of Coys C5's that are polished for my ride, I like them and the Torq Thrusts on our trucks a lot, but then so does a lot of other people. Sometimes it is nice to be different, but thats way to different. As Carl Childers would say thats not funny (ha ha) thats funny queer...LOL

69C10@16 · 12-13-2007, 04:49 PM

lol....yeah. Theres a lot of rims I like and thats why i said the photoshop guys will be busy later on. I cant decide. Its SO HARD. I have it kind of narrowed but Some of the choices are going to REQUIRE 5 lug and Ive got 6 so depending on how it looks I may change and I may not.

*1972Ryan* · 12-13-2007, 04:52 PM

what color are you going with on your truck?

69C10@16 · 12-13-2007, 04:55 PM

I think im going blue to match evrything else. Blue stereo. Blue gauge lights. Blue in the subwoofer box. Blue blue blue. by the time i get done with the project im gong to hate the color. lol.

did you see my thread about the 'blue' dash? When i say blue i mean blueing that you would use for gun barrels. Just throwing it back out there for you and anyone else looking

SkylineNXS · 12-13-2007, 07:20 PM

Heres the wheels on "Lemon Drop", hope the owner doesnt mind. I adjusted the color on the trk a little to better match the wheels. They dont look too bad, but not really a lot of ppl's style i dont think...the pic was kinda small so not the best size, sry...also the reflection int eh chrome makes it a little hard to make out what the wheel really is, lol...

Also for those that dont like yellow, Hipnotic makes theese wheels in all brused or chrome, or with black instead of yellow or chrome instead of yellow, also with the colors flipped around...

Arad68 · 12-13-2007, 07:35 PM

They look like some kind of twisted animae vision. Definitely not my style, someones, but not mine. Rice anyone?

They look even worse on the truck than just the still of them

**special-K** · 12-14-2007, 01:23 AM

Those wheels take everything "classic" about that truck and flush in down the commode.
