Default opinion?

came across this rim tonight and was wondering what yall thought?
It's available in a 6 lug pattern...
16X10, or 17X10 in the rear,
and maybe a 16x8, or a 17X8 in the front

Personally not my favorite and I would like to see a little more on your truck, those just seem too classic to me. I really like Centerline Stingrays III's for a decent price, they can be had at under $200 a wheel for the 17x8. Nice wheels aren't cheap, but Stingrays are definately nice and Centerline offers some nice deals. As for Weld, I think the Pro Star XP's would look nice.

I like em'. I always did like those on drag cars. I think they might be cool in a 17X8, 17X10 combo, if you can find the right tires.

I actually do think those would look good on your truck for some reason Daniel. They are a classic Drag Wheel. They are not personally my taste, but I think they would look good on yours. I would imagine they are pretty light weight too.

yeah I understand about them being classic, old school..
but I am looking at my wallet, and it's not looking good..
Plus these are light wieght drag wheels. and they are under $300 a rim..
depending on size...
( if i cant find a drag radial/slick in a 17" than I will be going with the 16" series..)
also I have never seen these on a NBS truck, yet.
everyone runs the stingrays, those are dime a dozen around me.. need to be diffrent...
nothing against them, just everyone has them.
