    Before making the step to buying new tires for my van I was thinking of a little different look. Not sure of what the wheels are called that are on now, but I've seen they are pretty popular. What i was thinking of were a set of stock steel rims, with spider wheel covers. (they only cover the hub and lug nuts) What i DON'T want is the van to sit any higher, mostly to fit in the garage. I would like to lower it if anything... not much though, stock hight. let me know what you guys think.

    Those rims have the retro look if that's what you're going for. If they lower it the way you want and if they are what you like, then go for it! Everyone has different tastes and that's the beauty of these vans. You can dress them up to your own liking. I would say give them a call and tell them what you're trying to accomplish height wise and give them the diameter of your current rims and the tire size and they should be able to point you in the right direction.

    I'll keep that in mind thanks Vanny. the wheels on now look pretty nice when they are all cleaned up.

    What diameter are the slotted mags you have now? I may be interested in purchasing them when you replace them with the steelies and spider caps you are looking at. I have a set of those on my Dodge, and have really gotten hooked on the look of them.
