Re: Are these Wheels Anywhere Near Popular?

Overall I like the truck...

...the rims look cheesy to me.

They're not something I would buy for my truck at all.

Re: Are these Wheels Anywhere Near Popular?

They don't look bad at all... they just don't look cool to me Yeah, I saw your thread when you first got it, I figured they came with it.

Stock rims are fairly cheap if you can find a local seller. I don't know what it is about these trucks, but for looks, it really is hard to beat the stock alloy rims.

I've had my fair share of ugly rims on trucks. I rocked red painted sawblades on my old Toyota truck I actually got made fun of for them. I thought they looked OK. I know the pic sucks, best one I have.

I also rocked white wagon rims on my 67 for about 10 years. I guess those are "uncool" now too.

Thanks Stump ,Truckdude and oarnges ,,the wheels are 17 inch and what i think I will do is wait until the tires are worn down and then look on Craigs List and find a set of wheels and tires for sale ,,


ChevyRedneck:: that blue on that truck is a great color ,, and I have an old 82 Toyota ,,it has chrome wheels but getting rusty from dogs pee .. Not mine but from the PO.. Papa

If some one can tell how to answer all people in one reply with out bring up two different pages of the same text ,,it would help me aknowledge all maybe better than what I just did,,

Not really....They still rock

I think they look ok, not my choice, but they are ok. That is why there are soooo many different wheel styles out there. Everyone likes something different.
