Question Factory Wheel Type Vote In

OK....here is the deal.

I currently have a set of the rather good looking Chrome Steel Saw Blade factory wheels.

But I've scored a set of the Alloy Wheels and was wondering which everyone likes better and if anyone know the specs on the two wheels for another way to compare.

Meaning is there a difference in the off-set, width, backspacing etc.

The alloys "seem" deeper/wider and just from moving the alloys around the feel much lighter which just might aide ol' High O' Silver since she keeps getting on up there in miles.

Just wanna hear what everyone else thinks.....

Thanks in advance!

( and I'll be selling the set I don't keep to help finance new BFGs )

Alloys...
You're talking about the ones with the circular holes in them, right?
That's what I have on my '94 northland edition f-150 4x4. They've been through some stuff, and always came out nicely.
Plus, I've always liked the looks of them. Kinda understated, but still awesome...

I had some aftermarket alloys for a while, ended up going back to the factory chrome wheels. I think I like the chrome ones better.

I got some new chrome smoothies on my 85. The truck loves them.. lots of good coments from people.. I need to get some new picts on the web. I changed from original rusty hub caps..

I don't know if they work with newer style trucks however....

Im a big fan of these


The silver is easy to maintain and looks ok, the polished wheel looks 10 times better than the silver and isnt too bad to maintain.
