    I know you said you didn't like "wagon wheels" but I think the wheels from Billet Specialties on this truck built by Streetrod HQ look pretty good.Street Rod Headquarters
    Or the ones on Dave's (IC2) car would look cool too. Personally, I would go at least 18"x9" on the rear & 17"x8" on the front, but that's just me....;-)

    That is a nice looking truck, Randy. I'm just too much into the street rod look of my younger days to go that modern. Kind of like jazz music, I guess...a lot of people love it, but some of us still groove on the Eagles...

    LOL! I kinda anticipated that response, which is why I suggested a little bit of a compromise. I think the truck in the pic has 18's & 20's on it. I suggested 17's & 18's for yours and if you go with a more traditional wheel like a torque thrust II or ones like Daves (which are 17's), you get a blend of the old with a modern flare. Of course, it's your truck and it looks like you're doing really nice work on it. Keep us posted on your decision. ;-)
