Show me the best looking rims 1st gens!!

my nephew is in that community (probably) which is why he told me just to get it done do it so i caved

 

Yea it does look sharp on the right application, sport or track look.

 

This looks like they sit out wider than the stock rims. Is that right? Did you have to use spacers to get that look? I’m trying to get my tires to sit about flush with the fender flare. I love those rims!

 

Thanks! Backspacing is 4.59” compared to stock 4.15” so there’s less than a 1/4 difference in where they sit, these sit in less than 1/4” more than stock. Actually needs some spacers, it rubs the frame at full lock.

 

What size are your tires if they rub with those rims? Aren't those 16" rims?

 

Love these "Retro" wheels! Reminds me of the wheels I had on my 70' Dodge Challenger RT, but I will eventually change to some TRD wheels.

 

17”. 285/70 R17.

 

I'll just leave this right here...

 

Stock 17’s with 33’s and 20x10’s with 33’s. Which one looks better?

 

17’s

 

I actually like em both.
But the 20s look like you're either ready for Hawaii or a tractor pull.

 

My 97 on 17s

 

Here are my Method NV's. I did remove the gold colored hex bolts and replaced them with stainless button heads. They match my paint much better.

 

That is a very clean wheel and wheel well. Very clean. Hard work keeping stuff clean pays off 15 years down the road. Looks sharp

 

Where did you get the grille from?

 

The grill is from Grill Craft. It is far more durable than the OEM section it replaces.

 

Those silver screw heads definitely look better than the gold would've on your rig
I know not everyone likes the step side bed but it's really grown on me, good looking good looking hermano

 

I'm all about my pro comp vapor 2 beadlocks. Wanted this wheel since it first came out a few years ago.

 

Apologies if this one has been mentioned in this thread already, but I musta missed it. The old Expeditions West Tacoma is pretty well known in some circles, and has been talked about here before. It was owned for a time by a friend of mine who sent me some images. I always liked those Performance Wheels Outback TX 1 wheels on that truck. They're long out of production, alas.





And here's another rerun fershure, but a different view to help people visualize this common combination. When I replaced my 2001 DC with a white 2003 DC a year and a half ago it came with 17" FJ Cruiser wheels. Those went on the 2001 when it was sold but here's what they looked like.
