Opinion on these wheels

[Dan Whitaker]

I'm looking at some new wheels for my Mounty.

Here are the ones I'm concidering.

American Racing AR23

ION 171 black center

Summit Racing Series 185

Dan, I added a poll to this, and a picture to help everyone decide

 

[Turdle]

I wonder if the 3rd could be photoshopped onto your truck--they are beginning to grow on me.

if possible, I'd also like to see #1 on there also--they are my current choice, but I'll wait to vote.
Maybe ask Froader for a favor??? he's great at this kind of thing

I really like the looks of the black ones with the polished lip. Go to summitracing.com and look at their US Wheel brand. They make the classic modular with a black center and polished lip. They look really similar to the oncs you've posted, but they have the small quarter size holes. Last time I checked, they were pretty cheap too... I'm thinking $70 each maybe.

Out of the ones you posted, I like the second and last ones... probably the last ones most. Come over to my wheel poll thread and look at the ones I'm choosing between. The American Eagle Alloys 101B is similar in style.

Yea I saw that. I thought it was ironic that we both started a poll at the same time & one wheel was real similar between ones we we are looking at.

I actually have 4 of the last one's, or really similar. They are 15x8's by a company called MB Motoring. Polished Aluminum finish. They were on my Ranger but I traded that in for the Explorer. They looked awesome on my Ranger, but I am not so sure on the X. Anyone got something mounted???

I'll get to that sometime today. Working on the motorcycle right now.

I don't want a polished wheel anymore. They are a pain to keep looking nice.

Summit sells a product called ZOOP that you can apply to a polished aluminum wheel bit runs $100 for 30 sq ft of coverage and only last 2-3 years.
Thats probaly for a show queen & not a daily driver.

I want something permanent. That's why I like the poder coated black center or the clear coat AR23 wheel, but Ive been told that the clear coat will only last for 3 years

 

[FROADER]

I personally like the AR 23 the best.

Here is #2, I'll do more later. Off to work.

 

[Dan Whitaker]

Thank you Colin.

Man I do like the look of the ION 171 w/black centers

 

[Turdle]

I dunno Dan, but hey, it's your truck.

All I know is I'm getting what is on there now!!!
