Re: 18 Inch rim upgrade/Questions

...unless 00BlazLT doesn't want my rims. I was thinking about just keeping the silver version of my JS5s for the winter and use the chrome in the summer - how hot would that be??

Re: 18 Inch rim upgrade/Questions

That is a damn fine looking Blazer you have there. Once i get some new rims i will post a couple photos.

Maybe i will take a couple before and after shots for the heck of it. The weather is supposed to suck here this weekend so it may have to wait til early next week.

Re: 18 Inch rim upgrade/Questions

Thanks, the wheels turn it from an ordinary stocker to something that turns heads. Amazing that a wheel can do that.

In my opinion, 18s would be the highest I would go as well.

Anything bigger and you will lose your ride quality seeing you will have to go with a skinnier sidewall to keep the right diamater.
