Default if you could design your wheels..

if you could design your wheels however you wanted what style or look would you go after? im trying to get in touch with centerline again about buying wheel 'blanks' from them so i could machine it to however i wanted. ive talked to them in the past and they were all about getting me wheels that were forged and turned but no milling done. then no one would call me back.... anyway lets see what you would like because really i have no idea what i would make!

If I could design my own wheel, it would look identical to this but at least 1/2 the price:

^ those are real nice, I think I'd do something along the lines of SS wheels, just a bit smaller, and prolly a little fatter spokes.

I think everyone's wheel preferences make it kind of hard to get a unanimous decision though

everyone does have their own style but maybe we can see some cool looking combos. Doesn't even have to be something sold just for trucks

I a big fan of the boyd timeless and the eagle 219 style wheels. Just wish you could get ahold of them easier.
Boyds

Eagles

I really like the ccw 505s though

The fiskes are a really good looking wheel I just dont think they would look that great on a truck, it would have to a slammed truck to really pull them off. The wheel I really miss is the original stingray III design

I also really like the centerline rapids, just not the rivets but most likely these are the wheels that will end up on my truck with some 33" mud terrains.
