u like or don't like???
« on: June 18, 2010, 10:30:37 pm »
I am thinking about these Cragars for my 82 swb. What do you think? I want to stay with a classic look-two tone,side molding,chrome trime,pin stip,silverado emblems, but maybe these wheels..... I have rallys on it now that will need redone soon.

I like those wheels. On your truck? I dunno. Future suspension height, wheel diameter, and paint play into it. You might be able to see them on your truck on americastire.com

Not actually my truck but just like it? I don't have any small pics of mine so I use that one. What do you think about the gray ones!?!? I am going to go back with the two tone maroon and gray with orange pin stripe molding bla bla bla. Thinking of lowering 2.5 & 4 with these Cragar eliminators 15X8 or maybe 17X8 still debating? I think these would look sharp also....

i like these better..gives the rim a two-tone scheme that your planing with the truck.. and 17"s with 265/65/17 (29" tire) or similar size tire  would look good witht he inbetween the thin rubber band of then performance car and full size 32" tires

I don't really like them. They have no depth kinda like a hub cap. I would get something with more contour in the shape but that's just me.

I know thats what I kinda thought from the pictures? I want to see them on a truck or a pic of them on a truck. I would have to see them in person to make the call I think. I like the two tone look though! Probly will just paint up my rallys to get me by for now?

The wheels I like and the truck for sure I like, but hard to visualize how they would look on the truck. Isn’t there a program or website that lets you see what the wheels would look like on your vehicle? Maybe you could Photoshop it.

I would paint the rally wheels maroon like the body. I had a set of cragars similar to that on my 83 Monte Carlo and I liked them on that, but for a pickup I would go with the rallys or a different design altogether.

I think they look pretty decent but I'd go for the classic cragar ss wheels.

What do you like on a stock looking truck  besides the rallys?? I like something classic(Cragars,Centerline,American Racing...... )not 24" with rubber bands....keep that in mind!
