Wagon wheels? Can’t decide.

I picked up a set of wagon wheels yesterday for $40. I can’t decide if I like them though. What say y’all? My other setup is the factory wheels with hubcaps.

I love those, D windows and Rally Wheels as they all just match the Era to my eye. but for 40 bucks i'd be happy. Maybe its the starkness of white on black to the truck that you don't like.

Always liked white wagon wheels on the RamChargers and our pickup.

Prefer factory GM ralleys if equipped, but if not, 40 bucks is a bargain!

I actually like the stock wheels and hub cap look.

I wanted to propose an idea earlier, but I got busy with work stuff. But here works, lol.

I like your stock wheels and caps better. But I bet those wagon wheels would look much better with a set of knobby 31" swampers on them. So maybe keep them around and find some real aggressive tires to mount on them. Then you can switch back and forth between them and the stock wheels. Best of both worlds :)

Maybe a trim ring similar to this to break up the white?

I have all three options; aluminum, rally and wagon. I like them all but I think the color contrast on your truck may be the issue.
Have you thought of a different color with the factory center caps? Maybe gray or black.

You know, I was thinking the same thing yesterday as I was sitting there studying it. It would look better with some mud grips.

Well, the truck is actually Cordova brown. I know it looks black in the picture, but it’s not. The factory wheels are white, but I guess the big hubcaps break them up a bit more.
