Opinions?

Im wanting to do something about my stock TBSS wheels. While they look great stock, its still nice to do something a little different. If I went with aftermarket, 22's would definitely be my choice, but 98% of the wheels are wayyyyy to bling for me, or over $3k for wheels and tires which just isnt happening. Powder coating is probably the route I will go, and Im curious what you guys think of how this looks. Black is too played out, and I really dont care for it on a white truck after seeing some pics. Im thinking more of a hyperdark color.

Stock, polished aluminum.

Quick photochop of a hyperdarkish wheel. Too much work to find a white truck pic and do both wheels, but you get the idea.

Whatcha think?!?

If you can find a nice looking set of 22's, I'd go for that just to be even more baller. Otherwise go with the hyperdark.

ive heard 22s look real nice on these. remember tho, they WILL slow u down and fuck with ur handling...

Go with hyper black, just like my wheels!

Black Chrome?

Black Chrome?

I dont even know where to get it done at. Will most likely have to ship the wheels off somewhere for a week or more. Powder coating can be done and have the wheels back on the car next day. I think I would like the hyperdark better than black chrome anyways

For some reason I can't get enough of the stock rims. They just make the truck. Anything else and it looks like a regular Trailblazer with rims. Go dark on the factory rims.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

agreed. are you thinking of black chrome powder coat or get them anodized?

hyperdark or gunmetal

someone chop em white... im not saying its a good idea, i just want to see it..

 

[red gtx]

hyperdark

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

How about this?

How about this?

i like that... but what about opposite... fill in the spaces in between the spokes.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

ugly. one color or dont bother.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

I like the black spokes, but its going to look goofy I think once its done. There really is no hard edge between the spokes and the outer part of the rim. Its a smooth radius and you will completely see the tape line. Im going to chop the hyperdark again, leaving the polished center cap and lug nuts, and hyperdark the bowtie in the center.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

There we go.

i like the spokes colored, what about performance mods,

There is plenty of performance stuff on the truck, and Im kind of at a dead end until I put in a built transmission.

 

[woa_its_j3ff]

personally I'd get hyperblack or gunmetal.

or you could save at least 1200 dollars and just have all your stock ones powder coated.

*edit*

Missed the part about 22's. that's straight gangsta but also straight fail if you're trying to go fast

Keep the stockers and throw some sticky tires on 'em for track purposes :dancingnaughty:

the replica wheels IIRC are only a few pounds heavier than stock. which is not bad considering the up size and width. with a modded truck, even stock for that matter will put out enough power that the slight wheel size difference wont matter.
