    I've seen alot of red trucks. I dare to be different. I like the wheels and tires too. Im keeping the other ones to switch them out with mood. Thanks for the complements

    Even though I have wide whites on my coupe, I think they are getting tired. I'm leaning toward the before pic but with a better paint job on the truck.

    Transformation is a word that doesn't conjure up happy thoughts. White walls take too much time to maintain. Truck looks fine, I'd find some blackwalls and rims to match the bodywork.

    It's a classic car. It's suppose to take time to maintain.

    Keep the whitewalls on it and it needs nothing but road time. Leave it as is.........

    The five spokes look like they belong on a late model Tahoe. The wheels and tires you chose to replace them with are much more worthy of your classic truck.....very appropriate.

    The whitewalls look nice. I hate a tire that doesn't have a sidewall like in that first pic. Looks like O rings on a wheel, JMO.
