rims, opinion

[lightning666]

The red one is mine and the black one i just have pictures of. I got 20s in front and 22s in back. I was thinking of changing my rims to the 02 style with some nitto drag radials. I want to change cuz of the weight of the wheels but I'm not sure about how do they look. Just want to get some opinions.

in my opinion, since you asked, i think the 01/02's on chrome would look killer. the gen 1's are on of the only vehicles where the stock rims look better than aftermarket ones

I'm a fan of the factory Gen 1 wheels, but if I had to pick a wheel from the pics above.....I would go w/ the Gen 2 style that is on the black Gen 1....

I like the 01-02 rims as long as they're silver they look like crap in chrome imo.

I kinda like the '99-2000 Gen 2 wheels on the Gen1's. I do agree that to me the stock wheels look best esecially in chrome or polished. Your red truck looks freakin' awesome!!!! What lowering kit do you have? I have the Steeda on my '93 Lightning.

I think the 02 rims look better chromed on a lightning, But hey if you wanna sell your 20s let me know i may be interested....

I might be going to sell them to buy the other ones, they are 20s and 22s in the back with nitto tires very low miles on them. The truck is always in the garage with some other tires so that it doesn't mess up these tires cuz they were really expensive. i only take it out about once a month for cruise night and it goes right back. I have a tire shop thats why i swap them on and off all the time.

if you get the 01's in chrome that would look awesome on red.

I've been trying to get my hands on a pair of the 2nd gen. rims to fit my 1st gen. lightning, any ideas where to find them?

I really like the look of red truck. I wonder how it would look with 18's / 20's in stead of the 20/22'? Has anyone ever put the 03 Gen 2 rims on a Gen1?
