They all look great. If you paint your crew--and then put on color matching old time hubcaps--you will have one of the nicest rigs in the country. In other words, what is incongruous to me is an old truck with modern looking rims--my eye does not then even see the great tires.

The first ones pictured look tough with that rig up in the air like that. I would go with them thats just my opinion.

i would save the slots for a 2wd and street rubber
personally, i'm partial to white spokes... shiny, sharp, very affordable... and the enamel needs freshening up about the time the tire sidewalls start checking

I like the slots. Have you driven it much with those tires? Knew a guy who had them and they were hard as rocks.

Yes they are hard tires . They get flat spotted from sitting and for a couple of miles they are pretty shakey . After that they run out pretty good . The ones on the slotted mags are new tires . But they are the same tire that are on the other rims .

I guess that there is always a different opinion. I like the second set, the reason being I like the look of the solid bright wheel with the the dark relief of the hubs in the middle.

Slot / Mag look just looks better. The Solid wheels just don't seem to match well. Seem out of place. The mags... look mean and clean.. love it!!

Depends on the look your going for, I really like both. If you want eara correct the slotted mags, if you want a little more modern, the centerlines.
