Is this what you meant by 80's style? Hard as **** to find a pic btw:

And I love these, the Z71 OBS Tahoe wheels:

Yeah, those don't look near as good for a stock tire IMO. Thanks for the opinions, guys! I'll probably stick with the smooths (that's what I have on right now) until I get some new rims.

HOWEVER- those Tahoe rims sure do look sweet. I don't think I've even seen those before.

I see the 80s style every day lol. I have them on my Diesel but i also have a set of 6 "Sawblades" But i have like 3 fake lug caps and 2 smooth caps. I would prefer to have a full set of smooth caps.

See, here's the thing.

The "sawblade" rims are fantastic OEM rims. They just compliment the trucks so well.

I prefer the "exposed 6 lug" design on the 1992-1994 trucks. It gives a nice bit of contrast.

However, I also really like the 1995-1998 "smooth" ones as well, but the center cover and rims HAVE TO HAVE the same finish. They look terrible with a nice shiny center cap and a dull clearcoated wheel.

The 1988-1991 "4x4" rim looks good too, in it's own right. Not as eye popping or enhancing as the sawblades, but a heck of a lot better than hubcaps or the basic steel rims.
