Best looking alloys on a Gen I truck

Ok guys,


I know some run the old Ford Alcoa's.. GEN III, IV?

Let's have a show of what looks good and what they run.

Hummer H2 wheels



I picked up the set from a buddy's shop after someone got some fancy (and butt ugly) wheels on their vehicle and didn't want these any more.

Got a buddy discount on them too. $60

These may be the older Ford Alcoas you're talking about:

WHat is that rear rim on you truck Papacat?

I was thinking that maybe the stock Ford 16X7 isn't very wide? 235X85X16 tires were on the truck before.
I don't have much $$ so Ford will be my try... car-parts.com shows them $300-400 for a set. Try and get the close place down to $300. Then go order some new Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S tires.

That rear rim is an alcoa 22.5" tall 14" wide wheel. They are dual replacements to save weight and improve fuel economy.

The old crew does look sweet. One of a kind!

Any burnout pics

How is the ride with the 19.5 or bigger tires? I've heard that those heavy duty tires will last forever on our light trucks, what are they class f or g tires? Is it worth the extra cost to go to a heavy tire?
