Thread: Help me out on chosing the right wheels!

The way I came up with a wheel was to look at about a million wheels then the last one I looked at was the one I went with.

Now there's a piece of wisdom!!! Thanks!

Maybe post a shot of the truck, and then have some of the photo shop boys on here help change the wheels and tires. Nothing like seeing them on to get a quick idea if you like it or not. I had a black CJ7 that had huge 5 white spoke wheels on it. After driving it cross country the tires were worn, when I got to Wyoming where I was working that summer. I figured I'd ditch the 33" tires and go back to 31", and needed to replace the wheels. I asked for chrome 5 spokes instead of the white ones I had. I figured chrome would go great with the black paint. Boy I was wrong, I hated it when I saw them mounted! They made the jeep look cheap! Luckily the tire shop, swapped out for white spokes like I started with. You just never know until you can see them mounted. Even the tires and tread patterns make such a huge difference in the finished look!

Whatever you pick..............please dont put on 20's......

I like the Vintage 40 series...Just my 3 cents. I have them on my 51 Chevy gasser. Vintage Wheel Works

That's the right choice for that truck, and you can leave the color alone or paint them the rose color, either way it's a great looking P.U. Very well done.

Mine was the exact opposite. I saw my wheels at the York NSRA show and loved them. I then looked at about every other wheel that would fit - but came back to my original choice. When I purchased them, they were relatively inexpensive. Now they are in the $350-400 each range.

Then there are those that look like refugees from a veg-a-matic
