Fa Sho!

 

Sexy wheels. Just waiting for pics now....

 

Well.. after a little mix up yesterday... im here now.. waiting for them to mount them. Then home to paint t the rings. I hope...

 

wheels! i hav mixed feelings.. idk.. what do you guys think? maybe im just not used to them yet? to me, they make my tires look smaller and the wheels not as deep.. either due to the beadlock ring or the giant centercap which i am in the process of getting rid of.. i have pictures of the caps on and off for comparison.. i like them more with them off but still dont like the hub showing.










MY ONE NEW FREE TIRE!!! lol



HUBCAP ON





HUBCAP OFF

 

Out of those two options (center caps) I would run without them. The M/T caps are a little too tall IMO. I would try to find another cap that is plain (no letters or designs) and shorter.
As far as the wheels not looking deep enough, I think that once you paint the rings it will have that "deep effect" you are seeking. Overall I think that they look good and they will grow on you.

 

thats EXACTLY what im thinking Luis ive looked high and low for shorter/flat center caps in my bore size.. and nothing.. anywhere. Im now looking to see if i can have a simple piece of sheet metal cut to match the mounting holes and diameter of the MT one.. paint it black.. and done.

also thinking the rings white will add some depth as well.. glad someone else has the same thoughts as me.. atleast im not crazy. lol...

 

who said I'm not crazy?

Or you could look into doing something similar to this:

well.. guess we arent alone anymore then.. crazy people flock together.. lol

hmm.. yeah thats kinda what i was thinking. mine will use the 3 mounting holes and just cover instead of a push through.

then i could just use some other center cap.. or what i plan on doing.. getting some center cap decals (stormtrooper or TRD ones) and put those on there.

 

center caps off like luis said and i agree once painted itll look deeper. idk know what your plan is for color?? **edit white will look good if you still think they look small wellllllll doesnt hurt to get bigger tires brah!!

 

Thanks dood! Yeah they will be painted white

Just trying to figure out a center cap solution.

Almost wish I would have went with 16's.. but I need to finish these up and see if that will make a difference first.

 

For my own reference

Might do this if I don't like the hubs just painted and not matching.

 

Booooo on the white rings!

 

Boooo too bad my truck
