Thinking about changing from Detroit steels to these… whatcha think?

Howdy all,

Thinking about going to a deeper backspace wheel so I can drop Tina a bit more. Whatcha think of going from white steelies to these?

P Tina the tan 85 burb

I say go for it. They’ll be a lot lighter. And look great imo. Idk about load rating on them though. Maybe I’m confusing you with someone else on here with a 3/4 ton burb who was towing a good size camper on 20s and upgraded tires for load rating?
But if all those aluminum variants of rally wheels were available and reasonably priced a few years ago I may have used them instead of the big steelies.

Personally like the original look of the dog dishes but I like the classic look.

Personally, I much prefer the aluma rally. Particularly with the centercaps and not with the factory poverty caps. To me, the factory poverty caps don't jive with all slots on the "rally" style wheel... just too much going on.

I agree, doesn’t look right to me as is. But sprucing them up with a center cap and trim ring (except they’re drilled for the dog dish clips) would look slick. I love the look of Detroit Delrays but like this.

I also like the plain steelies with dog dish caps.

Vision Cheyenne 54's for the win. I am looking at getting a set of 22's for my '05 choade bed crew cab and then wrapping it to look like my 84's paint scheme.... ah dreams are good.

I say go for it, I love the way the Visions look. They nailed the dimensions of everything

Much better for future lowering:

The guy at the hot rod shop down the road had a set of the new Vision/summit brand rallies in 15x10 for the back of his square for drag radials.

Not the same as 20” wheels, but man, in person they looked so much better. That and 15-20 lbs lighter than the same tire on a stock 15x8 steel rally.

That front air dam looks dang good. Is it aluminum?

What/why does this pic and the burb both look like weird/open ended lug nuts? The 5lug pic ^ especially.

Because they are open-ended? What makes them weird?

The open ended lugs on the 5-lug truck might be a track requirement.
