A bronco neighbor asked if I wanted some older white wheels. After I cleaned them up a little I started thinking if it would give my rig a cool look. They need a little more TLC. Take a look at the pics and feel free to post up which you think looks better. BFD305 might recognize these. |

Took me a second to put 2 and 2 together. You must be the one that was talking to Haas about his rig. Is Dave offering up some rims? Tough call, they both loog good. Would you leave the steel spokes white or paint them? |

I just looked at some better pictures of your aluminum wheels. I like those wheels, I would stick with them. |

I think the white looks great with the white top it seems to fit. The newer mags look great also but the white spoked steel wheels just seem to appeal better to me. |

I like the white ones better, but I've always liked that look. |

Keep whatcha got. The steel ones are probably the most common aftermaket wheel out there. Can't say as I have seen anyone else with the ones you have on there already. You a "go with the flow" type of guy or "against the grain"? J.D. |

Fine....(i liked the white top white wheel combo :( But since the census here and around my hood is "keep the aluminums" I'll just paint the aluminums white! For sale : 4 Awesome steel white wheels. Great shape "new out of the box" condition (just don't look at the above pictures). BFD305--You have first dibs....going once...going twice.... |

It does kinda look like someone welded a jack stand to the wheel... |

Now that I think of it, that could throw off the balance a bit. |

Ok - Just because I am feeling a bit "contrary" this morning. I am taking the opposite side. the aluminum directional wheels look like they came out of the late 80's and should have a body color center section. Paint the white ones black and  them on. What can I say - it is what I would do. |
