91 style 4x4 blazer rims on my 04 4x4?

Painted black? powder coated?

Think it would look good?

I think i might do some photoshop to see.

I also found some LS style wheels that have been powder coated already.

Very clean looking.

What do you think these would look like?

And how would they fit up?

bright red truck/black wheels FTW!

I like those swirlies but like warthog said, they'll stick out. The '91 wheels should fit perfect though

It looks like they are 98-05 2 wheel drive wheels. They measure 15x7 if thats the case. They should fit your tires no problem but will stick out a tad. I found the year size info here:
LMC Truck Parts - Page 96
I would say if you can afford it go with the powder coating.

4wd backspacing = 6"
2wd backspacing = 4.5"

therefore the 2wd rims will stick out 1.5" further than your current wheels. It's a pretty sweet stance, but I always thought those rims were 16x8... Must just be the ZQ8's that were.

Powder coating FTW

300 is a lot higher than I'd pay. keep looking and I bet you can find them for less
