Some Clean Pics, Need Wheel Opinions
#1
Might be looking to switch up wheels and would like some input. As much as I like the current wheels they are starting to show their age due to 5+ years of daily driving. The chrome on the center caps are peeling and the lug nuts are rusting a bit. Having trouble finding any replacement caps or nuts for these (Pacer 942).
I do like the matte black SS wheels but not sure how they would look on the truck. Even looked at possibly running black titan 18's with a chrome center cap and lug nuts to keep the general look and maybe gain some traction back with a bigger sidewall. Any opinions?

I really like the wheels that are on the truck. There's got to be somewhere to get new center caps, and lug nuts shouldn't be a problem.
Maybe I'm just unaware, but I'd try looking real hard for those first.

Looks awesome!
I think all the above options would look great! They all have a very distict look.
If I was starting fresh I'd probably go with the SSS reps.

Well after a bit of going back and forth, needing new tires etc, I decided to stick with the wheels I've got now. I managed to find the exact lug nuts again in chrome. As for the center caps, they are flat out impossible to find.
I did find the below caps that came out off tahoes that are the same diameter, just dont stick out like the old caps do, just flush. I wanted them plain but I guess I can live with the bowtie logos if I absolutely have to.
New lug nuts and caps will save me a good $500+ which is a plus with an 80e build in the works and other things that need attention.

Before shot to show how weathered and beat these things have gotten, yes dirty too.

Got the new lug nuts/center caps and tires on. Love these new caps so much more than the old ones now that I see them on the truck. Tires are general Grabber UHP 275/4/20.
Some quick pics right before dark, going to wash the truck and maybe snap a few more tomorrow. Let me know what you think.
