someotherguy Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 For a while it seemed like everyone was running Centerline Archers, so that kind of turned me off from them. I like Smoothies, I know a lot of people don't, my personal taste I dig 'em...they're like modern day Moon discs to me. Looking to get Centerlines for the SS and I think a set of 22" Smoothies would look sharp. Tons of contrast for the freshly painted black truck. But a set of Archers would be nearly 10lbs lighter per wheel...! Thoughts? Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03SSBoy Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I like the rapids but that's me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someotherguy Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Yeah...there's some on craigslist but I'm not feeling them at all. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jddmj Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I personally like the smoothies, but just not on an SS. I like them on rat rods, and retromods. Just my 2 cents. The archers would be sweet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someotherguy Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I ran them in 20" on my '94, loved 'em, but it's definitely an acquired taste. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXGM Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I thought you were getting 5 spoke dubs? It is your truck do what you want..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someotherguy Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Yep I've got them already, and wishing I'd chosen otherwise! They're on the truck at the moment but coming off for something else. The problem is I didn't even consider the Archers because they're only shown up to 20" on Centerline's website; while talking with them about the Smoothies he mentioned the Archer could be had in 22" as well (which only makes sense.) Leaving me with the dilemma of which to choose, because I like 'em both. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jddmj Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I ran them in 20" on my '94, loved 'em, but it's definitely an acquired taste. Richard I'll admit, they look OK on the '94. I like out of the two styles the archers, but they remind me of old school saw blade wheels. I've always been a fan of the Eagle 026 (I think that is the model), but they have been discontinued for some time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levilz Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I'm not personally a huge fan of any non-5-spoke wheel on these trucks, but that's the good thing about living in the free world. We can all be different. Between the Archers and the Smoothies though, I'd take the Archers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BAD2K Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 You need some intros, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someotherguy Posted June 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Pretty sure Intros would end up with me coming out to find them gone, or the whole truck gone, the very next day. $$$$$$ They also seem to be a lot of 22x8.5 and 22x10, with the 22x10 rears sticking out unless you narrow the diff a little.

eberhama Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Can I vote none of thee above? Just get 22" chrome TBSS reps and be done with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someotherguy Posted June 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Nah. Not doing any cast wheels. That's what I'm trying to get away from...and I'm no fan of chrome, either. Polished aluminum is generally my preference. Thought I'd try the black-ish Dub Ballers since they weren't all black but kind of a smoke tint on the spokes, they're nice wheels, but I'm not really satisfied with the overall result.
