Opinions Please

I have several sets of wheels and tires, and also mixed emotions. Which set of wheels and tires do you like best? Be kind, or should I run one set on one side,and the other set on the other side?

Re: Opinions Please

I like the red, don't like the chrome ones. It appears lowered, so bigger mag wheels with lower profile tires would look good too...mainly depends on the style you want to achieve. Nice burb

Re: Opinions Please

That's a nice looking Suburban either way.

I prefer the shiny wheels.

Poverty caps look appropriate on a strip down vehicle without a lot of chrome trim.

Re: Opinions Please

I like both, but the 1st ones look better for summer time.
I do the same with my Burb. 1st ones say hot rod. 2nd says cruiser, so I mix them up.
Btw I am going to add wider ralley wheels and tires on the rear to fill mines out.
That's a sweet ride, that silver one was awesome also. Congrats.

Re: Opinions Please

I do like those mags, but I'd roll with the steelies and skinny whites. Red, white and chrome just like the rig...perfect.

Re: Opinions Please

Its a tough choice and the difference in camera angle makes it harder. I'm going to have to say the steel wheels with the white walls are the winners in my book. Either way its a great looking Burban.

Re: Opinions Please

Personally, I love the mags. Not a huge fan of narrow white walls. The caps are cool but it doesnt make it "pop" like those mags do.
