Start of a project, need some opinions

[smithmachine]

I have an 84 Blazer with plenty of issues, picked it up for $1000 and am slowly going through it. I just bought a set of old 16.5 steelies and a set of the military 37's. The steelies are a bit rusty, and i was thinking of sandblasting them and painting them but i cant decide what direction to take.

Should i sand them and paint them and if so which color?

Should i just leave them rusty and roll them to match the rest of the truck?

Give me some opinions guys, thats why i joined this place was to find guys with similar interests that could help me think this out, no one i know around here has any vision for old trucks, i need help!

This is the truck on 33's, i have the 37's waiting to go but wanted to wait until i blasted them to mount the tires...

Here is the picture... trying to figure this out...

This is on the stock 15" rims with 33's, the 37's are not mounted cause i am trying to decide what to do with the wheels. picture the old 16.5 steelies from a 67 truck.

There is a retread plant in my hometown that retreads those tires. I ran them on an '80 Jimmy I had with no problems. I would paint them either white or black, since you are there already.

I would go with white and try to run some caps.
