Wheel selection - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cochino12 · 02-13-2010, 09:08 PM

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?

**lolife99** · 02-13-2010, 09:15 PM

Grey centered Coy's get my vote!

cochino12 · 02-13-2010, 10:09 PM

I thought about that but I think I'm more of a chrome guy

adam, there's not much difference in price with the coys
polished $1200
chrome $1500

(at least thats for the 20" C-5's, 8.5" up front, and 10" in back)

DubDubU · 02-13-2010, 10:29 PM

I think these are the same centerlines on my kids ranger.

W... your boy has a nice looking truck.

not a bad price, the centerlines are under $1000 shipped to my door.

What sizes can you get them in?
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)

datguysaL · 02-14-2010, 10:59 AM

well if you get the smoothies, you can always make you own design and get them cut at any machine shop willing to do it, ive seen it done, and man, i tell you they look nice...

hey, can anybody give me more info on the rims above on the red and white truck?? rim, tire size, pricing, will those fit a 85 c10 swb without rubbin on the bed?? please anybody....

DubDubU · 02-13-2010, 11:29 PM

Thanks man. He's worked hard on it and still has a lot he wants to do to it.

dv8customs · 02-14-2010, 02:08 AM

Archers

copperchevy · 02-14-2010, 02:52 AM

Smoothies, since i got them. Boss 338s and kmc novas are nice too.

bikes&bowties · 02-14-2010, 03:03 AM

totally unbiased opinion that doesnt do the lowered thing or big wheel thing except XD's and rockstars on big meats. I say number 2.... not fond of any of em though. I love those coys or the crager ss wheels though

toddinak · 02-14-2010, 02:51 AM

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.

camshaftgsxr · 02-14-2010, 11:43 AM

i'm likin those smoothies on a blazer, timeless

they look good on the blue/silver truck too though

bigblock73 · 02-14-2010, 12:22 PM

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...

**N2TRUX** · 02-14-2010, 01:51 PM

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.

3r!c84 · 02-14-2010, 01:57 PM

i like that ^^^^^

boatpuller · 02-14-2010, 01:58 PM

i like that second one (middle).

Driveway Dreams · 02-14-2010, 06:44 PM

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.
