Default Wagon wheels look good

on trucks that is..





First time I actually think they look good, never seen them on a truck before until today. I think GM just messed up and put them on the wrong vehicle lol

Well thats different.

I like how people put the big 6 lug GM truck wheels on older small nissan trucks. There is an orange nissan driving around here with some escalade wheels and low profile tires. It looks cool.

It's the only good use for the wagon wheels, they've been on my motorcycle hauler for years. Might get them pc'd gloss black.

S10 owners love the wagons, they are a great cheap better looking wheel for those trucks. If any of you guys want to sell head over to s10forums and list them up there.

I daily drive an s10 already got a set of 17s for it though.

My '99 Coupe. It has ugly wagon wheels, hard as rock Goodyear Run Flats, ugly BSM's, it is Black, the hardest color to keep clean, it isn't slammed and dragging it's rocker panels although it is lower by about an inch but still a 4X4 by CF standards. It also has the plain stock GM floor mats, a moderate sounding Magnaflow exhaust system with stock headers, so it won't set off car alarms or scare old women and small children and it has the stock but upgraded Bose stereo system. I think it's awesome.
.....and I have never used any Zaino products.
