Wheel Color?

Spurshot · September 10, 2009

Before I mount tires on my take-off Sierra wheels, I was wondering what they'd look like painted on my red truck.

Whatcha think? It's a lot of work and I'm inclined to not do it just based on the work. But if it really would look good, I might do it.

I would leave them alone. I do however think that they would look good powdercoated in a gloss black.

I think they'd look really good, a lot better looking irl then a quick photoshop thats for sure

I don't think so.

Maybe do the firetruck first, see how it goes over.

How 'bout this; Paint your original Chevy rims, then if you don't like 'em you just slap the covers back on.

+ 1 in black.

YUCK! No way.

If anything, maybe do gunmetal gray or black, but not bright red.

These stock really aren't that bad looking. Kinda remind me of the old "IROC" wheels.

Dude "X-Nay" on the red...Really

Very bad, I would chrome them first.

Spurshot · September 11, 2009

Okay, alright already. No red. You guys say what you think. Pretty hard on a guy. I almost went for chroming them. LA Wheels has an add on ebay with these chromed. They look pretty good, but they're $7xx for the chroming service. So that's out. I think I'll just leave em as is. A dark gray metallic would look pretty good but the work to do it is too much. I will clean/etch the bare backsides of these and clearcoat them to protect them.

Thanks a bunch.

What size make and size tires are ya going to run? I've got the same wheels on my 08 and the Goodyears are about gone. Want those Bilstein 5100's too. You still liking yours?

Thanks.

Russ,

I'm lovin the 5100's. I'm gonna get the rears. Just a matter of time. I'm spending money like water right now, and just can't buy it all at the same time. (dang, I saw a nice early .410 straight gripped Citori, very very clean, at the range for $1100 today. passed because of my out of control spending...and SD pheasant hunt upcoming)

On the tires, unless someone convinces me otherwise, I'm going with Toyo Open Country A/Ts. Nice street friendly tread that should be quiet and still have a little off-road traction for my rare old-man like uses. 285-70/17 is the size I'm going with.
