Changing the wheels on the daily blazer,opinions wanted

jtcfanof3 · 05-29-2009, 06:28 PM

Got these wheels for a steal,always liked em on first gens.

So thinking bout adding some tires and running em.Want some 215/65/15's if anyones got some laying around!I LOVE ZQ8's,but they just arent matching the theme well anymore since I went flat black.
Whatyathink?
Also like a little more sidewall for a better ride,little taller wheel to help out a soon to be unemployed full time student as well!

Thanks Shawn,but they seem/look like snow/winter tires more then A/S.
Ive got a guy over in INDY selling em cheap as well,Im stopping by and getting a set when Im over that way June 20th......

hrspwr454 · 05-31-2009, 11:26 PM

I think u should let me get ur zq8s.... That's my opinion

jtcfanof3 · 06-01-2009, 04:15 PM

lol,never!

hrspwr454 · 06-01-2009, 05:11 PM

ok ok fine......

then let me get the rallies.... hehe

Daveman2 · 06-01-2009, 05:14 PM

honestly, not a fan. They look really cheap IMO, they're got plastic centercaps. I'd maybe keep them as a set of winter rims or backups or something, but wouldn't rock them every day.

jtcfanof3 · 06-01-2009, 06:01 PM

Ya,see I just dont think the ZQ8's are going well with the flat.The ZQ8's have plastic caps as well.............
Sorry Bryce,I dont know about the rallies,he seems sota attached to em I guess.

pewter_dime_99 · 06-01-2009, 07:46 PM

wait, whats it look like with the zq8s on it again?

jtcfanof3 · 06-01-2009, 09:57 PM

pewter_dime_99 · 06-02-2009, 12:55 AM

oh yeah. i see what you mean about the zq8s not flowing... but i'm also not a fan of the other ones either...

hmm, i think you should trade me zq8 center caps tho!! haha.

99s-teezy · 06-05-2009, 10:49 PM

do you still have the zq8's? if so how much? i know a guy wanting some for his mid 80's monte.

jtcfanof3 · 06-06-2009, 09:11 PM

Will never sell my ZQ8's!
LOL
Sorry

whaaaat? who said that?

and yeah, dont sell your wheels! they are rare and badass! haha

jtcfanof3 · 06-23-2009, 02:51 PM

Ok,its official now,decided Im going to redo the paint. Eastwod said I didnt need to reduce the flat,wrong! Its rough and Ive hated it ever since so.....since Ive got the summer off Im redoing the paint,I just redid the gate w/o a box in it this time. But Im gonna score some tires cheap sometime and roll with those steelie stockers on a two tone flat red/flat black. I dont know if I'll paint the steelies red or not,probably not,maybe black?

jtcfanof3 · 06-23-2009, 04:29 PM

Not gonna do the wheels,maybe clear coat em.........

J_Rod · 06-23-2009, 10:18 PM

I'm digging the red on bottom...

pewter_dime_99 · 06-23-2009, 11:03 PM

hmm. nothing special, but might help give you a better idea than your "rendering" hahaha.

evolution1971 · 06-24-2009, 03:14 AM

I like the red on bottom in Jeff's pics. Sorry Josh but Jeff did a better job. LOL!

Later,
Shawn

jtcfanof3 · 06-24-2009, 09:14 AM

LOL
I am still on the red over black though..........
Thanks Jeff,I appreciate the work!

jtcfanof3 · 06-25-2009, 05:13 PM

Jeff,since you are the PS man,do me a favor and add like a V style dip in the middle of the gate,take out the plate cus its not there anymore!

Same two tone,red on top with a V style dip into the gate about midway down.

jtcfanof3 · 06-25-2009, 06:20 PM
