Re: Help me Decide which wheels ?
X-whatever for the slots. I like the old school look of stuff like slots and turbines on old trucks.
I too am running the 36" hummer tires. I had a set on my ford and really liked them, so when a brand new set popped up on CL, I snagged 'em. Sure they flatspot, but they go well offroad, are cheap, and seem to wear really well on the pavement (compared to other mud tires)

What a mess.

I'd go with the slots as well.

Re: Help me Decide which wheels ?
Probably too late, but the slots hands down!!! Used to have the imitation centerlines like the second ones pictured on my '61 W100, then my '67 W200, and then on my crew cab before I rolled it... I then ran them on my '74 Cummins W200 up until I sold it. I liked them, but not enough to muster taking them off another truck, again, lol!!! Had the same BFG M/T's on them the whole time, too.

I think you should run the Centerlines. (...And ship the slots to me!) I love the look of slots on these old trucks. That's the only thing I'd trade my white wagon wheels for.

BCW, be careful with those old hard tires, especially if you see small cracks in between the treads and side walls.... if you run them they will come apart
They do so much damage to the fender so if there older than 7 years get ride of them. Just not worth it.
The truck looks best with the mag wheels

Re: Help me Decide which wheels ?
Thanks MikeMc , They are new tires but i dont like them when they get a little cold they will shake the truck to peices.When they are warm they ride pretty nice for 36" tires.

Go with the slot mags.
