The choices are: The 15x10 Aluminum modular wheels that are on the Patrol now:

OR, should I take this set of old-school 15x8 deep dish steel wheels that are taking up space in my garage, and sand blast and re-paint them to use on the green monster (if you choose this option, let me know what color you think they would look good in - I am thinking the dark silver color that was used on the factory 15 inch Patrol split rims :think: :

Place your votes above, and let me know your opinions... I can't guarantee that I'll go along with the majority, because I can't even decide if it would be worth it to spend the 12 bucks per tire to swap them out if I did decide to try it with the steel wheels... I'm already 300 bucks over my original budget on this project, and I still have a front driveshaft to re-engineer in order to get the 4wd operational... :?

But from a purely styling and aesthetic standpoint, I'm curious which style wheels everyone thinks would look better on this particular rig ...

I really want to make you clean those old wheels up and paint them. I know you will go overboard for sure!

Since it is lifted, I say stay with the Al modular wheels.
