I think you should look on craigslist.org or ebay.com for some cheap, decent, local rims that you want. Then add the picture on your post so someone can photoshop those particular rims in instead of just random ones that you may not like.....

I'll work on it and have them to you by late tonight or tomorrow afternoon. Your truck pic will work, but a bigger one will work better!

I know the vette rims look sick on the older s-10 s-15 pickups... imo it's all about making them look right and in proportion with the car... ex: big gaps, if they aren't flush with the fenders... that kind of stuff is what makes rims look bad... so if you get those vette rims to look flush with your blazer... man that'd look BAD ( good )

As promised!

Tried to do wheels somewhat close to scale to give you a better idea.

1 - 18" Chrome Dumanis (I think they were called?)
2 - 20" Chrome Dumanis
3 - 18" Chrome Z06
4 - 20" Chrome Z06

I've done better (the Wife said off the computer by 10:30 and I just barely made it! [sm=yeahsmile.gif] ) but this should give you a good visualization.

Let me know what you think, or if you find any other rims you like. Enjoy!

I like the20 inch Dumanis if it's getting lowered or the 18in with bigger tiresif it is lifted. The vette rims just don't look right.
