Trying to decide on wheels for my truck..AGAIN!

Here I am again contemplating on which wheels to get for my truck. I cant decide on what style and size I want to go with. I wanted to go with oldschool 15' wheels with raised lettering in the tires like the popular bf Goodrich ones. But then I thought about going modern with some 17 or 18 inch wheels or staggered 18/20 combo. im stumped now...heres pics of the wheels im looking at...I really like the 17 inch smoothies on that maroon truck too...what do u guys think I should go with?

Get whatever you like best. I personally like the rallys in the top left picture.

Re: Trying to decide on wheels for my truck..AGAIN!

I've always liked the look of slots on our trucks. I have seen several with Ultra 50/51's, and these look great too.

Re: Trying to decide on wheels for my truck..AGAIN!

im kinda leaning towards the new school wheels. I love how the trucks in these pics look but then I see how the old baby moons look and I get confused.

Loving those wheels I might go that way when I get started on my 86. Looks like they will do any backspace you could need.
