white, definatly /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

 

[Hustler]

I think the white. Here's a question. Have you thought about painting the wheels the same color as the red that is on your CK5?

 

[Esteban86K5]

I saw black also. The white looks to 70's to me. Just like someone else mention. /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

White does not looks so good on it to me. Black looks ok to me, but not great. Black with a chrome ring would look better. For me, I'm sick of the white on my truck. I've got 3 cans of red-orange paint (same as cage) in the shop that will be going on there soon. And if I get real creative AND energetic, maybe gray or black centers with orange rims...

Go with white. It seems that everyone and their mothers are painting their trail rigs black to make them "tougher". /forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif /forums/images/graemlins/doah.gif

There's an idea, /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif I think I'll paint my wheels black so that they look "Tougher" and while I'm at it I'll slap some stickers on the body maybe they will make it go "Faster" and burn less gas. /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shame.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

black rims look trashy
if you could run a chrome beauty ring they look good but the all black rim and tire is too much
industrial grey is an option that I stumbled on that even works on my entirely white and black beater

Thats why i run chrome lug nuts, gives it SOME color.

orange.

That's my choice also /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

Like the white wheels, but the SX tires look better /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif So I /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif ,guess stay with the SX tires and black rims.

 

[Triaged]

I am normally all about black rims but in your case with the 2-tone paint the white looks real good /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

 

[pauly383]

I like both ways Fred. Perhaps a different color altogether would look cool. Try some others like matching your primary body color in paint/photoshop . /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif

personally white rims remind me of a 4x4 from the 70's

Umm, isn't a K/5 a 4x4 from the 70's? It's SUPPOSED to look like that

[/ QUOTE ]


the truck is from the 70's, but the style in which you fix it up doesnt have to be. on the other hand, that truck looks pretty good with white wheels. alot better than my truck did. probly causs hes got white paint on the truck to tie it in.

I have everything but the beadlocks. Black with chrome nuts looks good IMO.
