Wheel selection
I'm going to order some wheels for my Blazer this week and I'm struggling with which wheels to order. I really like the look of Coys (and I can pick them local) or Boss wheels but it seems like everyone has them, no offense intented toward those of you running those wheels
 . I was thinking maybe some Centerline archers or    maybe smoothies or tracers? I'm not stuck on centerlines but they seem to be pretty reasonably priced. Any other ideas?

Re: Wheel selection
I like the Centerline Smoothie wheels. That's what I want for my burban'. I think they just have a sweet look to them that will never go out of style.

Same size front and rear or staggered sizes? I like the Coys since they come in 8.5's and 10's Look at n2billets '79 red and white blazer. It looks sweet! And,... if it's between chrome and polished,... get chrome. (I've heard that the finish on the polished Coys isn't that great) |

Re: Wheel selection
Adam, Coys and TT's are soo overdone.. would go with something different, like you are already considering. The fisrt and third Centerline pics look nice to me...

Re: Wheel selection
I'm not a fan of any of those styles picked. If your looking for a decent price ahve you considered the other Coy style that has a classic look? How about the C57. Don't go by the ugly pics on the Coy site. It's much better looking mounted up.

Re: Wheel selection
Adam, I think the 2nd one would look god on the Blazer. Or what about the Rocket "Booster"? I am not sure if it is offered in the right sizing but it is a good looking 5 spoke that is a little different. Or what about the Boss 308, it is a little different looking too.
