Aldofashow Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I'd leave the rims stock and get some good tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afun Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I'm sorry but the wheels you're after look like wheels off of a work truck. What I said I liked looks good in my opinion. Maybe a smaller sidewall tire and drop would help the wheel you like but the picture you posted would make me ask the owner if it was a really SS. No doubt our tastes are different. Never liked the lowered look. I think it's obvious that my SS is an SS. 20 inch stock wheel and the LS2 are a nice combo. Maybe after these steelies I will go chrome...so many different looks possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldofashow Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I'm just not sure those steel rims are gonna like pulling in and out of the water for long before you start seeing rust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afun Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I'm just not sure those steel rims are gonna like pulling in and out of the water for long before you start seeing rust I have yet to soak my stock rims in water. The Ramos are plenty full pool of water around here. I did think about that one. Once the new tires wear out, it may be time to switch to another look.

70chevy03ss Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 To me those steel rims would be my winter rims. Not my dd rims. But hey your truck. Gl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afun Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I'm just not sure those steel rims are gonna like pulling in and out of the water for long before you start seeing rust The powder coating on the steel should help this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldofashow Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Your right as long as it's powder coated and not paint make sure that's what you're getting steel is usually painted cause it's cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afun Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Your right as long as it's powder coated and not paint make sure that's what you're getting steel is usually painted cause it's cheap I bought semi gloss powder coated ones....still won't last forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afun Posted April 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Semi Gloss Factory Steel is in. Purchased new plastic lug nuts for the cap that are new and black instead of these grey ones. Also have to shave down the GMC letters to accommodate the SS decals I got from Ebay. Don't know how thick these decals are. Now waiting on the Revo 2's....cross your fingers for me Untitled by Afun2011, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redSSclone Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I have these wheels on my truck. I was going for the racetruck/nascar truck look. I love them! But mine is lowered 4/6. I love the look of it until I find SS wheels for the right price. But I'll still hold onto these to switch it up. Btw Afun are you selling your SS wheels?

I am going with a 245/70R17 Tire. The Bridgeston Dueler AT Revo 2 has nice raised white letters. I am also thinking of getting the RBP mudflaps in all black. I am also going for that certain look. I am selling the tires but someone may be interested already. Will check with them tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redSSclone Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Haha not a fan of the center caps at all myself. I didn't order them. I liked the dish look. The caps make it look like Im gonna go mudding. I just don't like the big chrome Cone cap it just throws it off, since the nascar trucks never had them. ? but yes I personally love these wheels on my truck! Btw mine are 16" all around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
