Ok people I am still iffy if i like or dislike them. I got my Altezza's about a month ago or so and have had them on for that time. I like that they look different but i sometimes just kind of think they look goofy too. I am not really going for the bling bling look. More of the custom clean street truck that will wax your ass in the 1/4 mile. :D So honestly please tell me if you like it better with the rears stock or with the new Altezza's????

They look fine to me IMHO... better than stock... but I dont know the other options.
 






I think they look fine but I think they would look better if you put a few coats of smoke on em.
 






True! Something to darken the plastic would make it look good IMHO.
 






Yep, definitely needs to be a little darker.
 






I like how your stock ones blend into your paint color. Maybe if you darkened them a little, they would blend even better. Yea, I know they are a little plain, being stock and all, but I think they look real good with your red paint. The red-on-red gives much more clean look IMO.

The Altezzas just "stick out" too much IMO. In your own words, "goofy". The white just kinda clashes against the red.

I vote stock.
 






If you were to keep the altezzas, try to match them with the tint of your windows....

Since we're being honest and all. I think the "not going for the bling bling look" went out the window when you got those wheels. Sorry. :( Not to say they look bad. Actually, they look very good and very expensive... but on the bling bling side. Just one man's opinion.

Oh, I'm with Robb, red blends with stock better. I vote stock.
 






Stock for sure. Tint them a tad and you're in the money. I never have been a fan of Altezza's. They're way too "Look at me! Look at me!" and that's just obnoxious in my opinion.

Man Hartmann that photochop didnt look too bad. lol. I know how you cant resist dropping a vehicle. ;)

Hey X i can see where you are coming from on that point. I guess they do stick out a little much. But i guess my idea of bling bling is like chrome grille guards and chrome rear tail covers and wacky paint jobs on top of really gaudy looking chrome rims. Now that i look back on it though i do like my rims alot, I think that a good set of sporty 18's would fit my truck much nicer for its look and for its racing functionality. Not that i would even dragrace it with the 18's on it either. Thats what my set of black 15x8's are for. But at least the 18's i would pick now would be of a lighter design. Thanks for the opinions guys keep them coming.
 






I have to vote for the stockers also. I have just never been a big fan of the Altezzas.
 






They go with the rims and kinda balance with them; not enough shine on the truck with just the rims.

However, for not being "bling-bling" it sure looks like it!
 






Honestly, I'm not for bling-bling either. I leave that to Jay-Lo.. though there is someone around that has that on their X too. :thumbdwn:

That's just my $0.02 and you're the one that has to step out of it... if you dig it, rock on. It shouldn't get you beat up. :P heh
 






i voted to keep them but i also agree to darken them or something. also i must compliment on the awesome paint your truck is beautiful.

I dont like altezzas in general one bit. I think you should go back to stock and tint them, that will look awesome.
