codyruane Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Below are a few pics that I just took. I am trying to figure out what to do about the rims. I bought the truck with them on and was trying to figure out how to improve on the truck. With a new baby and job transfer my funds are greatly limitied and would rather place money toward performance rather than looks. So what does anyone suggest. Deal with the American Racing rims as is? Paint them? Just try to suck it up and get some decent rims down the road? So many choices, not enough money.

silverado777 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Well I think it would look better if you painted them black. But all in all i would just keep and eye out for a set of rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bag Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yeah if $$ is tight just powdercoat em or get a set same size you have so you don't need to buy new tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funceca88 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 if you black out the wheels it would look better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatTallCanadian Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Yeah those rims are hurtin.. I would probably remove the bug deflector too, its kind of an eye sore for me, the previous owner of mine had a set on the poor girl, pulled em off the day i bought it.

Yeah I am pulling off the deflector. I know I need new tires soon so maybe I should just suck it up and put on some rims with them, I will never be lowering my truck as I prefer the stock height and have a ton of pot holes locally, so I might just try to get a decent black set of 22" and throw on some decent tires. Guess I better start saving as I would rather put a few hundred towards a few rims than painting ones I don't really like in the first place.

We have horrible potholes here in Edmonton too but I can't resist the temptation of lowering my truck so I'm goinna do it this summer Just make a game out of dodging the potholes haha. You could even just get SS replica rims and that would be a really nice improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
