Wheels..? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Wreckless_71 · 01-13-2009, 11:12 PM

Hey Guys I need some ideas on what style wheels to put on my baby this spring. The chrome ones that are on there right now have been on there for a couple of years and are starting to get some rust on the lips from this lame winter weather, blah. SO the idea is to put something aluminum on there so I can put a little elbow grease into em and keep em pretty... The truck is lowered with 4" drop coils in the rear and 2.5" drop spindles up front, ideally I would like to go a little lower but I'm not sure yet. I have 275/60R15's BFG's on 15x10 wheels right now. So I'm just looking for ideas and pics if you have any...? Thanks a ton in advance!

Wreckless_71 · 01-13-2009, 11:15 PM

Oh and here are some pics of the truck so you have an idea of the style...

thirdstreettito · 01-13-2009, 11:27 PM

That truck would look good with some Boss 338 Black 18x8F 18x9.5R

http://www.jdwheels.com/boss338.htm

Or some 15x7F and 15x10R Artillery rally's.

http://www.rallyamerica.com/artillary.html

Plus they are both under $200 a piece!

Wreckless_71 · 01-13-2009, 11:50 PM

Sweet! Keep em coming...!!!

LuckyHenriksen · 01-13-2009, 11:54 PM

Here are my Halibrand Gassers, 15x10 in back, 15x6 in front.

Wreckless_71 · 01-14-2009, 12:03 AM

Those look flippin sic Lucky!!!

LuckyHenriksen · 01-14-2009, 12:21 AM

Thanks man. I need to close up those fender gaps.

Wreckless_71 · 01-14-2009, 12:56 PM

Bump... I need wheels!!!

kcjones · 01-14-2009, 01:30 PM

OK, I'll be the one to say it: Torq Thursts!

I went with CoysC5's courtesy of my wife!!!!

20x10 rear and 18x8 front

Stock72c10 · 01-14-2009, 02:17 PM

I second the Torq Thrust II's. If I had the bucks, my truck would have them. Here's a quicky PH of it.

chevy_mike · 01-14-2009, 02:19 PM

Myself, I wasn't looking to go to larger wheel and was going to stick with 15 ralleys but after seeing this wheel, I might be moving up to 18's. This is totally sweet and exactly what I am looking for.

clos69 · 01-14-2009, 02:49 PM

I am thinking of going with these... http://www.hubcap-tire-wheel.com/eag...12-wheels.html ...looks like a good price for the 18x8 and 18x9.5.

magsnubby · 01-14-2009, 03:25 PM

My taste run more towards old school, but the great thing about these trucks is they look good with almost any type of rims from painted stockers to 20" billets.

lts70 · 01-14-2009, 04:27 PM

These are the rims I got for my truck. I have a 1970 chevy truck that is lowered 3.5" in the front and 4" in the back. Here is the sizing options from his ad a pic. Not bad for $449.00 a set. I got 7" in front 8" in back. Here is a link about them.

Search for 72BLUZ, he has 17" Hopsters on his 72 stepper.

texanidiot25 · 01-14-2009, 11:48 PM

Ultra 50/51s would look sweet too..

thirdstreettito · 01-15-2009, 12:29 AM

You have to pick some before page 2!

Wreckless_71 · 01-15-2009, 01:52 AM

Alright Guys I have been leaning toward the TTII's since before I posted this help thread. The only thing is that my best bud has the TTII's on his lowered 68, and it seems like they are a pretty common wheel for these trucks. Now I want to be original and have something different but I have to admit that they look Drop Dead Sexy... Maybe some of the different color combo TT's? I really like the Boss wheels with the powdercoated center and spokes I just don't know how good they would look on my truck being as its red. Honestly I really like all of the wheels you guys have posted so far so keep em coming! Oh and Clos69... my bud has those eagles on his lowered s10 and they look sic. They are a good lookin wheel.

texanidiot25 · 01-15-2009, 02:00 AM

TT2s are too common in any color.. Coys are lesser seen IMO though. The one Chevy mike posted I think would look killer and still different from the rest. Slightly different twist on the 5-spoke design with the spinner center cap..

Wreckless_71 · 01-15-2009, 02:26 AM

So who's tuckin' 18's or 20's or both? pics??? As far as tires on the 18's 20's how low pro are we talkin here? I really am liking the BOSS 338's with the spinner cap.

Wreckless_71 · 01-15-2009, 02:30 AM

Anyone like these first ones? They are the vintage TT's they also come with gun metal centers.
Oh and the second would look sic on something...

texanidiot25 · 01-15-2009, 02:42 AM

Besides the bosses, salt flats are my #2 pick. Much more like a steelie
