fossilrunner · 01-09-2008, 08:34 AM

well I havnt posted on the site for quite some time since I sold my '71 about 2 years ago. But I just bought a '78 jimmy 4x4 so Im back, just in the 4x4 section now. The top pic is what it looks like now. The bottom is the wheels im lookin at getting. post up whatcha guys think.

fun in dirt · 01-09-2008, 08:48 AM

I like the bottom ones, black & beads.
Looks a little tougher & something different from everybody else on the road.

fossilrunner · 01-09-2008, 08:55 AM

or heres the version with the black bead rings

msgross · 01-09-2008, 09:37 AM

well, you asked for opinions so here's mine...

red bead lock = ugly (made for tube rock climbers)
black bead lock = not so bad
ralley's are cool for stock height
MT Classic II's = I like...

Good luck, all on what you like though...

see ten · 01-09-2008, 12:02 PM

First of all Welcome back! Second. Are the bead locks real or simulated? I'm not a fan of simulated locks. Looks like a bunch of nooks and crannies to keep clean that don't serve a purpose. But if I had to choose.....I'd probably stick with the rallies. If I had to pick one of the other two. It's just either/or , I don't really have a preference.

fossilrunner · 01-09-2008, 12:32 PM

any of you guys have any pics with the m/t wheels?

duallyjams · 01-09-2008, 12:58 PM

Stock height, stock rims
Bead locks look good with 10" lift and some big ... tires

OldCreek · 01-09-2008, 06:00 PM

Either way, it looks like it could use a little taller/wider tire.

msgross · 01-09-2008, 06:27 PM

Here are some MT's....

mudmizer · 01-09-2008, 08:13 PM

I like ralley's on stock height trucks.

jkaylor68gmc · 01-10-2008, 09:54 AM

I agree on the stock height stuff. If I had to, i would go with the burgandy beadlocks.

see ten · 01-10-2008, 11:27 AM

My Mickey Thompson Challengers.

fossilrunner · 01-10-2008, 12:28 PM

I think im gonna just stick with the rallys right now and spend my money on other stuff. sounds like the smarter idea to me.

Ol'Rover · 01-10-2008, 12:36 PM

paint the rally's the same red as your truck, And leave the chrome trim rings and centercaps. looks good trust me.

royo · 01-10-2008, 01:30 PM

Heres my wheels if it matters I like mine lol

I had a set of original forged M/T classics on my '97, they're 17 inchers.

earl87gta · 01-10-2008, 09:59 PM

depends are you going for an off road look. I like bead locks if your running big tires. Royo those wheels are sweet who made them. I want to use KMC Deisels on my burb.

**special-K** · 01-11-2008, 01:58 AM

I think the rallyes look best on that Blazer if the current state it`s in.
