I'm in agreement with the two of you, here. I've got Pro Comp 1069 wheels on my truck, which are pretty much MT Classic II ripoffs. The other night while talking about wheels with a friend, I punched in 17" 5x5.5 wheels in the selection at 4WP. I went through all 15 pages, or so, and I only saw one other wheel that I would have considered buying to replace the ones I have now... and they were *******ly the same thing. If/when I ever replace the ones on the truck now, I'm going with genuine Mickey Classic II's. I just took the cheaper route last time. I'm in position to get the real deal, this time.

 

Bought my truck in April of '04 and the Mickey Classic IIs went on before the end of May. They still look great and about all I do is hit 'em with Flix once a year. Now the chrome center caps are starting to really pit up and need to be replaced (at about $12 each) and my lug nuts are starting to get rusty as hell, but those aluminum wheels are tight...

 

Enjoy those wheels all you want fella's, they're not an option for me. lol

 

I found a site for ya' Jim and best of all, you get a free chain with every four wheel purchase!!!




just messin' with ya...

 

I know you want a five spoke look but i think an all black set of fuel octane wheels which are eight spoke would look really nice with the sunburst orange. I got the chrome set now wishing I went with the black but I still absolutely love them. I got them from rimzoneonline.com as a tire package and was really happy with the price.

 

LOL. yeah, cause wanting a classic American muscle car style wheel is so ghetto. All those Challenger owners are in for a rude awakening.

Thanks. I'll check out those Octane's, but I'm really stuck on a certain look right now.


I did find out today that Cragar makes a version of their classic SS wheels that will fit our trucks. Not quite what I'm looking for, but it's still that classic muscle look I want.

 

Sweet! I sent an inquiry to Boss about the 338s to see if they had any plans of making it in our bolt pattern. I just heard back...come February, it'll be available in a 22" wheel! Looks like I'm waiting til then!

 

Now those Crager SS wheels on a '73 Nova SS with a 350 & 4 bbl carbs I had in the '80s, they've been around forever. Now those I like.

The Boss' just have a little too much BLING for me, but that's just me, I'm not 16 anymore, I think a 20" wheel on a truck is a waste, so bigger looks even more ghetto to me. I'm now more of the age of functionality over bling...

But that's just my opinion and yeah I'm just funnin' with ya' a bit Jim. It's your truck and your money, make it just the way YOU want it. Hell, if you want 26" wheels with basically rubber bands stretched around them, go for it...
