Thats a sweet looking truck. I like it but I'd like to see you photoshop some **** Cepek DC-1's on there.



Or something a little more classic in the wheels. Its a beautiful truck, I just think the modern trendy wheels take away from it a bit. Thats why I like the DC-1. Its a nice balance in my opinion.

exactly what i was thinking. it's a very nice truck. my first f-150 was from that generation and was not nearly as nice as yours. actually it wasn't anywhere close...mine had more rust than good paint on it haha.

i definitely agree with going with something a little more classic. also, you may not even be able to find those wheels in the correct bolt pattern. they are made for the newer 6 lug trucks. finding wheels for my older 5x135 bolt pattern is getting more and more difficult and i believe your truck has 5x5.5

definitely going to be hard to find any modern wheel design in that bolt pattern. good luck though and i hope you find what you're looking for.

The truck is an 84 f150. The tires are Goodyear Duratrac's and they're 265/70R17.

I would go with a more offroad lookin wheel like the classic II or dc-1 with some 285's but that just my preference...nice truck tho!

You've got a great truck! I've got to agree with the other guys and go with a more classic looking wheel for that classic truck!

Man, I just looked at your truck in your sig and I'm really digging your current wheels. I totally understand wanting to change it up as I'm in that same situation, but those are sweet.

just my opinion but..... I think you have a very nice looking truck. if you want to add some rims to it that would be a cool idea but (here's the my opinion part) I think older trucks look good with "older style" rims added. probably because it's what we did back in the day with that truck or whatever but, I'm not a huge fan of new style rims on old style trucks.

Very nice looking truck! I think something chrome with some black accents would look great.

First off, thanks guys! i really appreciate it. It took alot of hard work and lots of $$ to get my baby where it is today, and she still ain't done! I do agree with the newer wheels on older trucks. i'm really picky about the way it looks on my truck though. I will some photoshop work tomorrow with a few more wheels and see what you guys think.

I'm a big fan of the MT Classic II. I had those on my Jeep. Great looking wheel.
