Re: Post pics of aftermarket 2WD wheels

I could post pictures all day, are you wanting to see stuff thats within a budget or just anything in general? I can show you pics of c10s with 5000$ wheels, and I can show you c10s with 700-1000$ wheels.

Are you looking for any certain size in particular?

Honestly, I would think about a nice staggered wheel seeing how your truck is a long bed. Like a 20/22 combo.

Not the best pic, but it's tough to go wrong with a set of slots.

Usually I hate hate hate slots on other cars, but they do look very nice on these trucks for some reason.

Re: Post pics of aftermarket 2WD wheels

Slots are really nice when they are polished to perfection!
I´m happy with my Eagle Alloy 589s the only drawback is the very thick material that makes them very tight around the front brakes and control arms!
Some 17s or bigger would do you good if you lowered with spindles and want some bigger breaks sometime!
