i must say the 2001 L wheels have really grown on me. i think they look great spinning as well. what do you all think?

 

I really like mine. The best part is that you can clean all of the inside of the wheel, from the outside.

31 lbs vs. 35 lbs, I won't say anymore

 

I didn't like the wheels when I first saw them in photo's, but they have grown on me big time. Today was the first time that I put a coat of wax on mine and a top to bottom detail. And as 01AMR said, you can clean the inside of the wheels from the outside, now I LIKE that!

come on.....16 more lbs? can't you jsut go on a diet? or cut back on a few cold ones? lol

 

Can't stand 'em. Seen them in real life a time or two, in magazines and on the 'net all over the place, and they look too import and futuristic for American Muscle. Just my .02

I love mine!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

Taking the 00 wheels off to clean the inside isn't such a bad thing. It's a good reason to rotate the wheels.

One of the pluses of the 01 wheels is they work with some of the newer brake kits.

I like both the wheels all the same. But in a way the old ones look outdated & the new ones look to futuristic. But I would love to have either one. So it doesnt matter.

 

I don't like the wheels. They do not blend in with the curves of the L.. Kinda like a beautiful woman with a square butt!!!!!

They haven't grown on me yet, so I suspect they won't. Love mine though. Oh, and one thing I do like about the 01s is in the sig.

At first I didn't like them but now that I've had them for a while, I wouldn't want any others. I've had a lot of compliments from folks who like the match of the wheel and body color (Silver). Cleaning them is a breeze too! On the cleaning subject, the new grills are really easy to keep clean.

 

When I first saw a picture of the 01 wheels I didn't know what to think but after seeing them on the truck in person they look great. The top 5 things people compliment me at a show besides the truck as a whole are
1. The lights, epically the rear
2. The wheels
3. The engine
4. The interior
5. The tonneau cover (It's the factory), a lot of people with non-lightning trucks crap their pants when I tell them it was a $150 option, actually the only option.

The more and more I see all the new 2001's everyday those rims are growing on me. I've probably seen more 2001's then anybody else on this site since the shipping yard is right behind me and they are looking better more and more.
