Color-matched Steelies - Yay or Nay

What say you TW?


Inspired by this.


And this.

 

I like them depending on the truck itself.

 

My truck is the first pic. Did my best "photoshopping" the wheels.

 

Yes, but the lug nuts and center caps need to be black. Needs a little contrast.

 

Omg I love the white steelies. Throwback and shout out to Yota 4x4's roots. Love it!

 

Don't like the white ones. It looks like a county work truck.

The other trucks are unique and have an "overland" look to them.

 

With some aggressive tires....yes.

What he said.

 

The white one is posted on Expedition Portal. A member described the rims as "NATO style."

 

I am going to do white steelies on my white truck, if I can ever find a set.

I am going for the UN look

 

Aggressive treads are coming. With black center caps.

 

OP, just remember, you can't trust the opinions of these 2nd and 3rd gen owners... They're in newer gens because they don't love the first gens the way we do .



I kid I kid.

Hahahaha, hadn't seen that one yet! Funny!

 

Never color match wheels. Unless your truck is black. I'd say black, chrome, or even bronze on those wheels.

 

The first truck is mine. I was playing with Fireworks to see what it would look like. I still have the stock alloy wheels on it. Taking delivery of the steel set today, but they are black. The color-matched look is growing on me.

 

Where did you end up buying them from ?

 

An eBay seller. I was getting impatience with trying to find some locally at a reasonable price. Of course, now that I've said that, some will come up on CL.

 

Try it. Worst case scenario is you don't like it and repaint. Black is a good go-to universal color, too.

You could plasti-dip it too (it's removable), but I don't know if they make it in silver...

i considered going to steels, but only if would have been able to get 15's to fit. It was purely a cost thing since 15" tires are a bit cheaper (usually) than the metric 16's. Only wat it was going to pencil out is if I got cheap steelies and painted them (probably a lat black).

Never pulled the trigger on that, though.

 

Thanks

Never bought anything on eBay or have account
Will check it out
What tire size you going with

I also have the same Leer as you and also going body colored steelies

 

And here I was trying to be original.

I'm looking at something between 32 and 33. I'd consider something just below 32. I'm trying to avoid the inevitable cutting and hammering that comes with larger tires. I've been looking at 235/80-17 to 285/70-17. Something in there would work just fine for my needs.
