Hey guys...I need some help with Rims. I have tried looking, and most black sets of rims are for FWD cars, not RWD trucks. I really like the look of an all black rim with all black tire. So here comes the poll! What do you think!?


Do you perfer:

custom rims
alloy rims
all back rims
stock rims
stock/aftermarket rims powdercoated black (idea I had late last night)

Post here to defend your vote, butplease vote!!!

While it’s totally a matter of personal preference, I like the look of 18” custom wheels and cast my vote accordingly.

 

Thanks Sigma...do you perfer a particular brand?? I would assume everyones post is gonna be in their own personal opinion....noone can say that the rims you like suck and your wrong.....they can say tghe first half of the sentance...but...yeah!

I have the claw model from Ultra wheel. I really like the design. They were only availible in 16" when I bought them but now they make an 18 so I'll have to upgrade one of these days.

here is a rim made by Giovanna called "Gello" that i think would look nice on a black truck.



hoped that image worked... if it didnt then i have no idea how to do it.

 

maybe this time it will work.

 

There you go Beau.

 

Bad link man.

Anyway, steel or allow, either one is nice. However Steel, even if chromed, will still rust.

Black allow wheels are tough to come by, unless they're painted. If that's what you want though Garrett, we can all search and help you find some cool ones.

What size do you want? Let me know and I'll start looking.

Centerline
Weld
American Racing
Cragar
Keystone

The black wagon wheels, or rock crawlers that I have on my truck are awful. Stay away from them unless you plan on driving strictly off-road. These rims are NOT round and are thumpy on the highway.

Custom 17's. I wouldn't want to go any bigger than that on a truck. It just looks to ricey to me.

 

Are you crazy Joe? I f I were a rich *****, Id pop on spinning 24's...very bling bling.

I like simple 5 spoke designs...usually the ones where the spokes arent straight....much like these

I like that look...but I wouldnt mind having something lightweight and very somple, and powdercoat it black.

Man, you just swing from one side of the tree to the other, don't you!!!!!

Hmmm, I like either something really bland and simple like a all matt black 16" wagon wheel, or something really really off the wall wacko looking like spider rims in a 24". Too funny.

Hehe...thats why I said to call me Mr Peepers!! Im a tree swinger! LoL...I was just saying that I like 24s ...very bling..but what I want are RWD black racing rims...but I dont want to spend a crapload of money....

Garrett,

This has YOUR name written all over them.

You can buy them from 4wheelparts.com right in California.

Here's the link. They don't have prices listed yet because the rim is brand new, but you can call them.
