has anyone put nice wheels on their van?

[bensurdi]

I have a ford e250 that i want to put some nicer wheels on and would like to see some of your vans that have upgraded wheels!

check out "wheel skins" @ http://www.wheelskin.com/wheel-skins.html, cheap enough, and not too "showey"

Idk, why attract the "wrong" kind of attention?


Personally I'd rather have plain Jane wheels versus NO WHEELS!!.... ...Besides, I have much better, more important places to put my money.

I did 20 years ago on my first 2, but never again its not worth the money. Gas was 89 cents then too.

I have nice STOCK wheels and HUBCAPS on my van. Bling wheels are TACKY and unprofessional on a work vehicle and will cause your customers to question your emotional health.

Unless you run a church van in Bawb's hood.

Stick with stock rims and tires.......just keep them clean, and use a tire black to keep the tires looking good. Just spray on and leave......sometimes rinse.

22 inch rims cost $2600 bucks

 

[joeynbgky]

there not really on there yet. just sitting next to it, im thinking about it. I wonder if the low profile tires can hold the weight

Check your sidewall ratings for the weight specs, Joey.



Even if they can, judging from the pic at the bottom, the treads looking a little worn down, not very deep. Time to get some replacements.

They'll look sharp parked next to your 14' wide trailer :-)

Seriously, go for minimalist on everything but the artwork on your van and for that spend good money, get professional help and make it wow viewers. If they are looking at your wheels they are not looking at your graphics/lettering.

What Ken said.

Along with chrome bumper and grill, you can have a clean look that sets you apart from the riff-raff. We do take the "Savana" off of the rear doors since it looks clunky against the lettering.

Centerlines, $330 each, rated for one-ton trucks and will take the stock 235/245 tire. They get moved to new trucks when the old ones are sold.

PS: Joey's wheels would definitely end up on someone's hooptie.

Nice trucks Bryan, very clean image!

Even the building and property are very clean, looks like quite an investment in asphalt too!

Wheel skins, over stock rims, like $89 a set of 4.

If it wasn't clean, customers might laugh at our tagline.

PS: We use wheel simulators on the delivery trucks. The big ones are way too expensive.

 

[Mark Saiger]

Yep

Everyone comments on the nice looking vans we have with nice wheels.

 

[bensurdi]

Thanks guys. Mark you definately know how to draw attention Nice set up.

I'm thinking the wheel skins is a good call...

I couldn't find hubcaps to work, so I went with the wheels. www.deltasteamway.com

Brand new? Dang, the top of the tire in that pic doesn't look too deep in the tread dept. I just slapped some Continentals on my Explorer, and the tread looks way deeper then that. But, they are suv tires.....never had a set of the low profiles. :mrgreen:

Only thing your missing out on it feeling every bump in the road.

I used to like low pros, now I'm into stretched tires. On cars of course. Vans need them balloon tires.

I like the Alcoa dually wheels myself.

I like the Alcoa, but choose to go with simulators at this time...ordered from Pacific Dually.
