Our trucks with centerlines?

I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of our trucks running centerline(or any variant of) wheels similar to these?



I have a 79 long bed and was kicking around the idea of running these but cant decide if they would look good or out of place. Opinions and pictures are welcomed.

I have Centerline Smoothies on my Magnum. love the look and ease of cleaning. The main draw back is if you have to brake often, as in downhill driving or drive continuously fast around corners. This tends to cause the brakes to overheat with not much ventilation to cool the brakes.

^^^ what he said. Brake cooling is hampered, which is why I dont recommend them

I've run these for 10 years and never had any brake problems and the driving has not been easy, not saying it couldn't cause probelms but that I've never experianced it. I like not having brake dust on the rims also.
