imo running nice wheels you normal see on 2000+ trucks is ok since the wheel design go with todays truck design/trend
when you run those same wheels on a 20+ year old truck, it just looks cheesy. makes the wheels stand out more and makes the truck look even older. its even worst when the truck is all beat up looking but you got some spanking new rims that cost more than the truck

Problem with steel is the weight. It adds usually another 15lbs per wheel. With a 22RE that robs more power. That being said, I am going to try some old school steelies that I painted today that are already mounted the new tires I just picked. See next post for pics and info.

Got some shoes for it today. They came with some ugly steelies that I painted Graphite Gray in hopes that they look good enough to run. If not, I will move them over to the Outlaw IIs.
35x12.5x15 Goodyear MTR Kevlars. These have only 500 miles on them. Just enough to wear the nipples off.

Thanks Scotty I guess I'm gonna splurge and buy TG springs so I can use their measurements. or maybe i will use theirs as a start then use 63" chevy's and make the minor adjustments needed then post up my measurements for others to use.

Just got it back from Big Horn Graphics. We made a sticker package for it to keep the 80s theme, but with a twist for the company. Hunter digs it.
