My Wheel Project

[Flying Tomatoes]

 

I live in southern California. It is the birthplace of most vehicle fads. Aftermarket accessorized vehicles are as common as toenail fungus. We all follow fads. Some more than others. It's all personal taste evolved thru emersion in the fads, in the end, especially with something as ubiquitous as a car/truck wheel. Most things related to styles that are retailed are all about fads. Wheels very much included. I've seen wheel fads come and go over the last 4-5 decades and have my personal taste pretty well established. I just can't get into black. It just looks ... blaaah-k to me.

 

 

 

Got it. But, I don't like the ghetto look of 20's on a 4x4. These are my choice for my ride.

 

Im not a black wheel guy but if anythings "ghetto" its fake bead locks, lol.

It's kinda like fake race cars. We all have em.

i like them. im the kind of person who thinks after market rims look stupid, but i got some 22's from the dealer that i totally love, and those look pretty good compared to your stock ones. i think a white truck needs some black to offset it some and make it stand out, just like a black truck needs some chrome to bring other elements to its color. i think thats why my black looks so good with the big 22's.

Looks good Spurshot....I like them.

 

I bet that truck rides nice with that extra sidewall on the tires and those King shocks. Enjoy!

I like them; it looks like they did a great job with the chroming process. I know you were toying with the idea of coloring the beadlock ring. What about just coloring the bolt heads for a subtle look? If you don't like them you could always change them.

I like em, I also am not a black wheel fan (There are a few on high performance cars I like), but other than that it looks like people are rollin around on steelie snow wheels all year esp if they are matte black, my opinion, different strokes for different folks. You'll have to post pics with them on the truck, i think they'll look really good.

Great choice Spurshot. What are the wheel specs? Are they going to stay tucked in there or stick out a little?

Please no. Black bolts on the chrome bead rings you have.

The wheels look great all chrome. I am also not a fan of all black wheels. But since you are looking at the beadlock rings for the wheels I would think the only way it will look right is if they were either black, gunmetal gray, or chrome. Any other color will not look right IMO.

white with black rims looks amazing IMO

Dangerdick was kind and skilled enough to color my pix to see what a colored rim would look like.

have you looked into plastidp?

 

ive used it a little but most the parts i did in it i ended up swapping out for something different anyway. but it turns out really good, they have gloss and metallic colours now, you can buy all chrome and blast the lip of the rim in white then in a few months peel it off and run full chrome.

 

im going to plastidip my bumpers in black this summer, and if i dont pick new runningboards ill just black those out too.

 

personally, im a big fan of the murdered out look.

 

check out this stie for the colour options, if i would have kept that cts longer i was going to do the lip on the rims white.
