jbain Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I was hoping for some pics or just opinions about my new rims. I'm running a 38.5 on a beadlock and balancing is impossible, I can run about 45 and locally it's not so bad but I've been keeping my eye out for some road tires. Yesterday I made a trip to Cleveland and picked up a set of 5x5.5 10x16.5 old school whites spokes. I also picked up a set of 37x12.50x16.5 Radial Wrangler OZ military takeoffs. So should I leave them old school retro white or paint them black? IF anyone had an XJ or MJ with white spokes please post them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incommando Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 White spokes FTW!! lol. Some of our posters have probably never seen a good set in person...fetching my walker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I like white spokes on a white or dark colored truck. I think they are fitting to the time period these trucks were built in. I have used them on a lot of my vehicles through the years. If I could get them in a 17X9 for my Cummins I would be using them on it as well. I say run them!

mnkyboy Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I left mine white for years, a couple years ago I decided to throw some paint on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbain Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 Thanks guys.... I really want to leave them white but I guess my only concern is I have alot of black on my truck and wonder how it would contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I thought the same with mine since I went red/black on a white truck, I think it looks fine like that so yours will probably look fine being the opposite. Now that I'm taking the rims off I'm trying to decide on a color scheme for the new H2s, I'm kinda thinking to stick with the red/black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry about it Chief - you already have a lot of contrasts already. A little more won't hurt. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 white rims for the win! besides, you can always change your mind later. the red/black two-tone would look good too. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbain Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 Right on..... cool pic. I'll proabably go ahead and mount up the tires the way they are. If I hate it I can just tape them off and paint them later.... thanks to everyone for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 What are those front bumper guards Jeff? Factory? Have never seen any like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Not really sure Don....I bought the truck from an old timer, who did a few "mods" to it. You should have seen the homebrew "tonneau" cover on the bed, made from 1/2" plywood wrapped with a blue tarp. Bonus points for the hasp lock/padlock that secured the topper from opening.....drilled right into the tailgate :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 They look a lot like the guards off an '80's GM truck or van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 They look a lot like the guards off an '80's GM truck or van. Agree - was thinking the same thing. Definitely something GM - 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbain Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Thanks everyone.... but I just put the rims up on craigslist for sale along with my Military Oz tires. Found a guy with a 91 Comanche that's been wrecked in the front. he's already pulled the motor and is planning to cut the frame off the back and make a trailer out of it and the bed. I'm trying to talk him into selling me the whole truck as is. So I need the cash.... hopefully I can talk some sense into this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
