Steelies, or Rally Wheels. Look at pic!

Ok, I finally found a set of 15" x 8" steel wheels.

Just curious, what do you guy's think looks best?

I know it's my rig and I can do what I want. I'm just curious on the memberships thoughts.

I will cast the first vote for the painted wheels; the chrome ones look too "modern" to me.

I like both but prefer the steel wheels. If you go that route make sure you get the more correct style of caps.

I prefer more of the common stock size 15" x 6" steel rim and more of a small dinky standard sized tire with full wheel covers look. I bet the steel wide rim you have would look much better without any hubcap at all. Or get the correct year one on there.

I generally like rally wheels - I have two sets for my Blazer. I think the reason the steelies work for yours is the color match.

Thanks for taking the time to send me your opinions.
