Need opinion....
Hi Guys - just need an opinion, which look do you like better, the old school muscle (with 15x7 Torq Thrust D rims), or with the new school muscle look(with 20x8.5 Foose Nitrous Rims)?
The new rims are defintely awesome, but does the over-all look work for the ranchezzy. I've aksed a bunch of people and I am still torn. Personally I like the new rims a lot, but does the new rims take away from the muscle? What I do not want is for the Rachezzy to look like a Scraper, hoo ride, or a car our of a rap video. My attempt is to try and give it a new school muscle look....

RE: Need opinion....
Well,,,
I think there may be a generation division here:).. The more important thing here is what YOU like.. I personally like the muscle look.. It draws my eye to the whole car as a solid mass, sleek look'n and clean to boot and they compliment each other.. The wagon wheels draw my eye to the wheels (first) and make the car look like its just sitting on top and tall.. My opinion,, and it's just thatan opinion,, is that there are too many rapper look a likes and sort'a resemble Barbie cars to me..Don't get me wrong,, I think it looks nice both ways, but a VERY NICE looking old piece of american iron like that doesn't cross the 'decades' well.. Again, my opinion.. Are you planning on keeping the spoked wheels as well?? If so,, then no big deal,, enjoy it both ways!!BTW.. Nice look'n Ranchero.. Have any more pics to share,, interior, engine ect.. Anything special in the build? |
RE: Need opinion....
I really appreciate your perspective. To tell you the truth I have asked a ton of people and your perspective hit the nail on the head. I am going to end up keep both sets of rims and just swtiching the looks when I feel like it. Most likely, summer months will have the 20's and rest of the year it will have the Torq Thrust D's.
Thanks for the props on the Ranchero, I bought it in August 2007. I did a fewmods (new paint job, tinted windows, tune-up, new steering wheel) mostly cosmetic things because the car mechanically is complete. I lucked out becuase the work the person put into the car is great. A ton of upgrades on the engine, components, exhaust, transmission, etc.Here arefew things on it: 351 Cleveland MSD Coil blaster Mallory Ignition Upgraded Cam Gear Drive Completely redone customer interior C6 Tranmission Cobja Jet Heads 650 Double Pump Mallory fuel pump 2 custom gas tanks in bed Here are some more pics: |
