Thumbs up Would like opinions please

Ok, i am havin troubles on deciding which rims i wanna go with for this summer, so i am gonna post 3 piks, one of my current Cragers, one of Colorado Customs, and then one of Billet Specialties. Please let me know what you like better. Keep in mind that i currently have 15's and plan on up sizing to 17's, and that i made these piks in paint, so not the best! Thanks guys!

I like the Cragars and the Billet Specialties myself

The Hancocks don't seem to have a whole lot holding the rim itself on

i personally do not like that style of billet wheel. just seems yarly 90ish. i would just keep the rims you have on there. it makes it look like a pro street truck.

i see your point c-10volvo, but as a newcomer to the "scene" i haven't yet had a chance to experience the kool retro 90's rims yet lol, besides all these new 22" - 26" rims all look the same to me with straightish lines and design. blah. I do know where you are coming from though, Damn i wish my truck was pro street!!!

I'de keep the old skool Cragar wheels. The design of the other two says the 80's. For the record, I'm a fan of 20"+ billet wheels.

Keep the ones you got now. They have the best look. Like everyone else says... the other rims scream early 90's.

Can you get Rodlites in 17"?

Out of those three, I like the top ones with more tire.

If those Cragars are the 341's, then the biggest size are 15's.

oh ya, I like the Cragars too.
