Black rims

[Bds2710]

Hi thinking about getting some black wheels to go with my white triton just seeing if I should get alloys or steelies
And if people can post pics of there black wheels that would be helpful as well
Cheers

I've moved this post into the tyres and wheels section http://www.newtriton.net/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=36

Might be a good idea to have a browse through threads in that area looking for good info and pics.

Plenty of previous discussions on alloy vs steelies. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. My personal view is that alloys win the argument for everything but price, but others might disagree (and be wrong ).

There was a recent post about a company that was doing custom rims - you specify the offset and PCD and they make them up to suit. Their price and range was pretty good too.

Fridgie, your Triton will look special with the bear wheels.....

Here is a couple, not a white Triton but you get the idea.
The four steel ones are for sale if you want them.

Thanks chasing alloys sorry buddy what sort are wheels are those black one one your rig

[Cowboy Dave]

I think you'll find he painted some silver alloys.

[Bds2710]

Yeah just thinking about just doing that with mine ??

[Homer]

Don't paint them (unless done professionally), powder coat them. Cheap and very tough finish. Should cost you between $60 and $70 per wheel.

[Bds2710]

Thanks or thinking should just bit the bullet and buy some wheels looking at axt series killers 17x9 +20 offset with 265/70/r17
Will look good but the $$$$ where does its stop ????

[Padres Triton]

Here is mine, speedy Grandes in liquid black.

[Brent1]

Ooooh nice! They look great against the white paintwork and no bungee points, sports bar or anything

[Bds2710]

Yeah looks good might use that rim
Now 16 or 17 ???

[myself62]

go 16's if you can, more rubber to use.

[mickkk]

Tyres are a lot cheaper to buy when you have 16's.

[Cowboy Dave]

I'll go the other way and say 17s. There used to be a bigger difference between the two but there are quite a few 17 inch 4wd tyres available now. 16's can look smaller when they get dwarfed by big rubber around them.

[Bds2710]

Yeah still undesure any one else 16 or 17

[Calblitzen]

I have 16's and like the higher profile rubber. I believe you may get more balloning and flex in the sidewall from the 16's vs 17's for the same overall diameter tyre.

Try coating the wheel you have with plasti-dip, google or YouTube it

Looking at the speedy grande black 16x7 ???
