Re: Shucks First Build

Wheels are a matter of personal preference. There is no right or wrong choice just what the person paying wants to pay for. As for my preference I love the first one with the darker spokes. They are more period correct for your truck in my opinion. I don't like the big wheel thin tire look at all but then I am an old guy that doesn't get it. The large wheel with thin sidewall was developed for performance ,less sidewall flex while cornering. The trade off is a lousy riding tire that destroys wheels if you hit potholes. Plus I think they look out of place on a classic truck. Again an opinion and what I prefer you should get what you like. These days with the net you can look at hundreds of trucks like yours with different combinations to see what has the look you want before spending money. You don't even have to leave this site.
