OBS aftermarket wheel help!

Recently picked up a 97 ECSB Z71 Silverado, it is the dark hunter green color. Anyways i'm plannin on crankin the Tbars a bit and runnin a 285 or 295 tire on a 16x8 wheel. The windows will be blacked out, but I cant decide whether to go with a black wheel or polished/chrome. If you have an obs with aftermarket wheels post em up but here are a couple wheels that i've looked at a bit, tell me what'd look best! Lou

Re: OBS aftermarket wheel help!

The 2nd rim. Out of the choices, it is the only decent looking rim.

Re: OBS aftermarket wheel help!

There is a reason many people stick with the same old stuff, they almost always look better than the newer designs. And the older stuff is usually cheaper.

Re: OBS aftermarket wheel help!

Personally, I like alot of the older American rims and alot of Cragar's stuff. Mickey Thompson Classic IIs aren't bad either. I have DC1 rims because they were very cheap at the time and I hadn't seen too many with them.

I have older black AR's on my truck

DC-1's I dont care for. I've seen very few vehicles that looked good with them
[
BUT that may because I see them mainly on 99-02's and I hate those chevy's passionately, except the HD's, they're

the DC's on your scrambler dont look too bad
