Vannin' Home Forums General Discussion Readers Rides Wheels & Tires... need opinions (pics!!)

I want to get some new wheels and tires for my GMC but I just cant decide. So tell me what combo wheel & tire you think would look best, if any of these. Here's my options... [b]WHEELS:[/b] - Cragar S/S (15x8 front, 15x10 rear) - Slotted mags, same size - O.E. pickup or truck rallies, same size - Chrome smoothies, same size [b]TIRES:[/b] - Mickey Thompson Indy Profile S/S' G60 or L60 front, N50 rear or... - BFGoodrich Radial T/A's 275/50 front, 295/50 rear Note: I already have a set of slotted mags, but they only have 3" back spacing, so I would need flares.

I would use those slotted mags, I always liked the way they look. I would also go with the T/As.

Well, If the GMC is the dark one (I think so), I would use the slotted mags with M/T's very a sweet vintage appeal. Flares will only add to this effect.
If you are discussing the white one, I would go with the Rallye's and T/A's as I think they would be a better combo for that paint....
What do you think???.....

I like the S/S and M/T combo. The Mickys have a wider look and I'm a sucker for Crager S/S's.

I am a slot freak I would go with them it is a bad habbit but I also hord them when I find them

I would use a newer style and slightly larger diameter rim. After all it is 2006.

Well, as Ken pointed out, those rims are all kinda played out, but if you're going for an old-style van, they're all a good pic. Here's my pros and cons for each.

Cragar S/S:
Pro: Classic wheel, everyone has em
Con: Classic wheel, everyone has em
steel wheel, rusts

Slots:
See above for Pro and Con
Pro: aluminum, needs polishing, but won't rust

Ralleyes:
I don't like them on anything

Smoothies:
Pro: not quite as popular as the first 2
Pro: Cheapest of the 4
Pro: LOTS of chrome, look good polished up
Con: Steel wheels, rust
Con: Cheaper wheel, rusts faster
Pro: You live in Washington, not Ohio

So there you go, I don't know if I actually answered anything or not.

I like the Cragar S/S

Me too!
