skunk Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 (edited) going to go get new rims nextweek or so, these are what im thinking, in a 17x8ish Edited October 4, 2009 by skunktruckin Quote Link to comment
ssdjoey Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 me personally i dont care for any of them not my style but if i had to i would choose the second they look the least off roadish and simple Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 They should complement the vehicle and not draw the eye away from it. Dark colors are good. Not my style but first one is fine. Ah, an addition.... #4 is better. Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 looks like you'll be shopping from Les schwab's 'in-house' selection... I say, don't settle cause you found some rims you think you can live with. Buy what really turns you on. Quote Link to comment
VoidDragon Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I can't wait to get to my hands on some 18inch Titans. Just wish I could decide between the 5 or 6 spoke. Quote Link to comment

Cuts metal like mad Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Used tire shops are great! If you're just trying to drive it safely, go the cheap route, you may end up selling the truck, and you don't want to be making payments on something you don't own anymore... I know, I know, you're not selling. Just in case. Quote Link to comment
groatd Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 i like option 1 Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 i like the first and third one something about a black rim with a chome or polished lip. looks great to me Quote Link to comment
datto510 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I vote for stock wheels and hubcaps. You can get those for next to nothing. Is it lowered? Quote Link to comment
skunk Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 no it is not lowered Quote Link to comment

what Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I have some polished up vintage 15x7 six lug aluminum slot mags with almost new white letter radial tires. There currently on my 521. If you look under my name on here there should be a photo of my truck. Dont know how to pull it up though. $400.00. Iam in Salem oregon. Quote Link to comment

denveratsun Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 What Datto510 said...:D and lower it for crying out loud!:rolleyes::lol: Quote Link to comment
Roadracer Al Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Personally, I'm very fond of the "period correct" slot mags, which don't seem to be available new any more. After that, I like the stamped steel "wagon wheel" or "10-hole" style like the Cragar in your pics. Probably a cheaper option than the Cragars (which I expect are actually a cast aluminum rim) would be plain steel rims from Diamond Racing, who build relatively inexpensive rims for a variety of motorsports from AutoX to Dirt Track. They'll even custom build rims, and have a list of custom powder coat colors. http://www.diamondracingwheels.com/ Quote Link to comment
1sad521 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Buy what really turns you on. so where do i find old school JDMs for kinda cheap? everybody wants old school now:mad: and isnt that illegal???:blink: :lol: Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I had the last ones. Look good, and don't cost more than the truck is worth. Plus far likely to get stolen. I agree with the other guy who mentioned that rims are supposed to complement the car, not distract away from it. Quote Link to comment
skunk Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 yeah after looking at a hole lot of pics of other trucks and looing at all the rims, im thinking something more like Quote Link to comment
