I like chrome.

LongNLowGMC · 02-15-2013, 07:17 PM

I'd say chrome, but I am a bit biased as I ordered a set of chrome 695 20's last week.

GTJ558 · 02-15-2013, 07:24 PM

depends on how the truck is that you're putting them on....if its closer to stock look and form i like the gray but the chrome i like on restorods.

69GWC · 02-15-2013, 07:53 PM

I agree but a little to wide for me.

joesgreen67 · 02-15-2013, 08:06 PM

I was trying to decide the EXACT same question myself over the past two weeks. I just bought the chrome ones just about an hour ago. I didnt want to have any second thoughts on the gray ones afterwards....seen a set and they turned out to be darker gray than i thought they would be. I have never liked the look of black rims....so I went with the chrome

I like the grey

Andy4639 · 02-15-2013, 09:22 PM

If your putting them on the truck in the post go with the Chrome wheels. The grey will not look right on that truck to me.
Purple Chrome and ...Grey!

Fldawg · 02-15-2013, 09:42 PM

with that purple they would both look good, but i'll go with the chrome

only to wide in the front imo. i like the staggered look like hot rods have.

Andy4639 · 02-15-2013, 10:10 PM

I bought the Boss 338's for the 71. Here is what I have.I have no issues with them other than I had to grind the front hub down just enough to get the cap on. Took about 10 minutes for both sides.
8.5" up front and 10" on back.
