Whaddya'll think of these? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I still haven't decided which wheels I want to get for my six-seven. I thought I had it narrowed down to either of the first two styels.

Then I stumbled upon these.....and I find myself hopelessly undecided again. These are Black Rhino rims in a Hyper-Silver finish. Has anybody run these on their rig before? I think they would look sweet on one of our trucks, but I'm kinda puttin' out feelers to make sure I haven't been breathin' too many DP90 fumes or something.

Those rims are sick! They would look great on these trucks. Looking at their website it looks like they only come in 20"/22"/24". I wouldn't want to run that big of a wheel. Do they make them smaller - say in a 18"?

Dingfodgy · 03-15-2008, 10:45 PM

I've only seen the 20-24 inchers. 20" is my limit, anything larger than that starts to look a little pretentious to me. The sidewall difference between an 18" wheel with a 275-55 tire on it and a 20" rim with a 275-45 tire is a smidge over 1". I can live with that!

I was talking to a guy who had a 72 K10 for sale last summer in the town next to mine. I told I had just got my restomod 71 back on the road and that I would like to do a K model next. Anyway he asked me about the 71 and I told him about it, and that I had been driving it earlier in the day. He said he thought he saw me because he remembered seeing a red truck that day with "ghetto rims" on it. I was lmao, never heard that terminology before, ghetto rims, ha, I live in the woods not the ghetto!

I like any of em but don't think they would look right unless your truck had a slammed stance. I always thought it looked tacky (borderline ghetto cruise) when people slap 20's and 22's on regular height trucks.

Im with shifty and 72BlckButy,
you gotta be low to run those...does that rhyme?

Dingfodgy · 03-16-2008, 07:13 AM

Low is the plan! Once I get the frame stretched and painted- the sucka's gettin' at least a 4/6 drop. If the budget allows maybe even a A.R.T. setup!

67_C-30 · 03-16-2008, 08:40 AM

I really like the first ones, the black ones not so much, and the 6 spokes look terrible IMO!

**N2TRUX** · 03-16-2008, 08:41 AM

Door #1 in 20 or 20/22 works for me...

69long"n"low · 03-16-2008, 08:49 AM

the third looks good to me 6 spokes and six lugs 5 spoke rims with 6 lugs just doesnt look right to me n 20's sound bout rite but id have to see the 22's to rule them out

sleric77 · 03-16-2008, 08:56 AM

that first wheel would look sweet but that my opinion.
