  • older model wheels on newer vehicles?

    I've always had a general rule for my vehicles to only put wheels that were available when the vehicle was current OR a newer gen wheel. If for no other reason so that nobody would think I didn't know WTF I was doing.

    Some styles just don't work on some body styles.

    But there's a super duty wheel that was only available in '04, and I've seen it on some 05-07 trucks, and it actually looked pretty cool. I'm seriously thinking about hanging a set on a 2011+ truck.

    I've been thinking about putting a set of 05-07 20's on, but the 04 18's have a wider offset.

    I'm thinking the 10yr gap and the obscurity of the actual wheel might actually come off as intentional vs. a faux pas.

    I always liked the mustang Bullit style wheels for their throwback style, but they were still a modern wheel, so that doesn't really count.

    Any examples of the older wheel on a newer vehicle that works aesthetically?

              I myself love old school muscle car wheels that have been upsized to 18in or bigger on newer muscle cars...look on point to me.

                  Who cares if anybody else thinks them a paux paux? If you like them, then roll them.

                        roger that... my only delima now is that mine could really use a little refinishing.

                        I suppose I'll just hang them on the truck when I get it and see what's what. Feels odd going to an 18 vs. a 20. Especially since I have three sets of 20's w/ fresh rubber on them just chilling! LOL But I think the retro wheels will look cool

                            I think so too. If they were still available, I'd snag a set. But they don't turn up very often. They would look great on your convert btw.
