My first ride was a 55 Effie. I was 14 and bought it for $300. It was an ex-Purdue University truck (the lettering was hidden under a few layers of paint). I drove it home in 1st gear cause I had no idea how to shift. What a ball I had in that truck over the next few years and how I would love to have it back!!! Would like to see a shot of yours a little more from the side, even if it does have gangster dubs!! http://public.fotki.com/redlinetoys/
Yeah - 18s & 20s - Very Traditional. I'm not against them at all, but don't expect to get much love here. EDIT - looking forward to a side shot, since we are supposed to be seeing your new wheels.... Malcolm
Seems like the money would have been better spent on painting your hood... or even an ass-load of taco bell or something, but not so much on the bling.
from what I see, they fit nice (proper wheel tucking in the front)... would have to see a side shot to before saying they look good or nor
looks like you ruined the look of a pretty nice truck. can you get your money back and pick up some aluminum slots or something like that?
Truck looks cool to me dude!!! Would like to see more pics. If its the wheels you want who cares what everyone thinks.
Malcolm, you love twenties, I've seen your blue chevy. I'm just given you shit. DAVE Hood Ratz!! Jumpin Ship soon?
I'll bet since you came here to show us stuff that is gaudy and generally not to our liking, you know that you'll get a terrible ribbing. Or maybe you haven't caught onto that yet, as you don't seem sharp enough to know that this isn't the forum for shiny monster-crap rims. Yes, I'll bet they cost a lot of money, and the 16 year old girls will really dig on that. Now I know that you have a credit card, and know how to use it! Sweet! Is that what you were going for? If so, success! If not, maybe you should go return them to tirerack.com, and do some thinking about what would properly suit that truck. Hopefully you'll come over to the dark (tasteful) side, and make that really nice looking truck look good, not gaudy. Wow. I'm mean! Ben
Nice truck, wheels arent my thing, but hell as long as he likes it who cares, it would be pretty boring if everyones cars were the same right
The truck looks good in his avatar, so whats with the "rat" hood and "bling" wheels, now????????? Pick a build style and stick with it!
I don't see any "rat" on it...what I can see I like (though I'd spray the hood haha)....I still say the truck lifestyle is the coolest of all...they all get along for the most part...the "trad" guys tear into eachother for the stupidest reasons...forget the keyboard commandos...the truck ooks cool man... so go ahead...anyone gonna bash on me now?....
Damn, easy now. I know what most of you guys like and hell I like it too, but right now this is what I like. I'm glad that there are so many different ideas and such, damn, how boring it would be. B Carlson I pay cash for my things, 4 yr education, and I got you to write the longest post in this forum, BITCH!!!
