Default New bling blingin' rims y0.

I just picked these up yesterday for my 96 blazer 2-door. They are 22" Alba 580 force. This truck will be repainted in the next 2 weeks, along with graphics of some sort installed. My dad said they look weird, then again he is more into normal trucks with stock wheels lol.
Anyways, on to the pictures.



What do you guys think?
I will be lowering it around 2 inches as well.

I think it looks good, but I also think it needs some more rubber wrapped around them rims.

Right now they do look weird. They'll look a lot better when it's lowered. Make sure to post pics when you lower it. But, the main thing is whether you like them or not. I personally like the look of 15-16 inch wheels.

Yeah, I think I could have gone with more tire on them. Oh well.

They are off now, lol. We had to put them on because they wouldn't fit in the back with the carseat. So this morning I put the truck on a lift and took all the rims off at my shop. I spent like 3 hours cleaning them from the salt.
But man, we had like not even a 1/4 inch of snow on the ground, and all I did was slide.
A member from another forum I frequent just did a quick photoshop of it lowered. I think it looks pretty good lowered like that.

Now to figure out how to "twist" the torshion bars, I searched but didn't find anything really telling how to.

In the original Pics the 22's lok so small. With the photoshop the look better But my opinion I would lower it a little more than you did. Maybe another inch of two just to let those tires fills the wheelwells. Looks good though

I can only find the X-treme lip kit. Is there any others out there?
