it's come down between these 2. kmc SS or jackssfives.
i think i like the ss's better because they would look wider. i'd be getting them in a 20x9. THESE ARE GOING ON MY '68
JACK SS

SS

67cruiser · 01-12-2007, 04:15 PM

I really like the look of the Jacks&Five just my opinion though.

**raggedjim** · 01-12-2007, 04:16 PM

KMC ss has a more classic look, they will stand the test of time better without dating the truck. Just one guys opinion...

jlaird · 01-12-2007, 04:54 PM

those rivet looking things look dumb on these old trucks, IMO.

b&a72 · 01-12-2007, 04:56 PM

SS got my vote.

desertrat · 01-12-2007, 04:57 PM

the ss, they flow with the trucks body lines.

jimmydean · 01-12-2007, 05:16 PM

I like the "Jack" name.

Ryan'70 · 01-12-2007, 07:35 PM

My vote goes to the SS as well, I'm gonna get the same on my truck in 18's.

SS like the rest of the crowd...

COACHMEASON · 01-12-2007, 09:11 PM

Ss...

AkC10 · 01-12-2007, 11:37 PM

SS they will look great

Brad · 01-12-2007, 11:42 PM

I like #1, because they're slightly different than the more common #2, but either one would look awesome!

**Bowtie468** · 01-12-2007, 11:44 PM

I'd have to say the SS !

**N2TRUX** · 01-13-2007, 12:50 AM

Sorry but I don't think either one will look good on your truck.

FarmTruk · 01-13-2007, 12:58 AM

I vote Jacks & Five. I like the rivets on the edge, and the lip doesn't seem quite as deep as the SS. I also prefer the open lug look to a cover cap. Has a bit more modular/angular look than the SS too. I'm assuming both pics are of exact same size & bs wheels.

bgangsta999 · 01-13-2007, 12:58 AM

ss.......

i'm open to suggestions

sighlurr · 01-13-2007, 01:06 AM

I think Jack's center cap is much cleaner.

PBFAB.COM · 01-13-2007, 01:11 AM

SS of courSSe!

raiders3581 · 01-13-2007, 01:24 AM

brak · 01-13-2007, 01:25 AM

I don't like the rivets....

Therefore i voted for the second

FarmTruk · 01-13-2007, 01:40 AM

Uuhhhmmm...can I change my vote. I just saw your pics in the other thread...http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=222991

I vote stay with wat'cha got now...

Warren · 01-13-2007, 02:46 AM

Of those two I dont like the first ones. I design furniture and am always struggling with balances and how much detail to put in.

To me the first ones look cluttered, they remind me of those rap guys with all kinds of gold chains and stuff hanging off them. Just my opinion of course,

Warren
