If youre gonna change them go for something as "race truck" as possible.

That said I like whats on there. What size are they? More meat out back would probably solve your issue and give you the look you want.

Same, which I guess isn't a very helpful answer; sorry.

When I was growing up everybody had Cragars and I wanted some, too. Now that I'm older I feel like I've seen 10 million of them and hate seeing them, especially on what everybody runs them on - tri-five Chevy cars.

Corvette style Rally's are OK but I'd say with the common big derby style cap, or with the '67 Corvette "disc brake" small cap. Never really liked the moon type cap like in those pics, looks too plain.

Also body color on Rally's can look good, but I think the dark blue on your truck wouldn't work well with the trim rings or caps - I would stick with the factory argent silver color for a little contrast with the body.

Have you looked into the aluminum copies of the vintage steel wheels? They offer them in larger than 15", and they look pretty hot. Not sure if they offer them in 5x5, but check these out:





A couple different brands are offering them; I think some are cast, and some are machined from billet. So the cost can vary a lot depending on what you're looking for.

I think some of the newer torque thrusts in a 17 or an 18 would look good....
