I would say the last set suit the theme the best.

[Jordan White]

Hmm I would say both look great and also go well with the theme, though I would lean towards 6 since I like the look of 5-spoke wheels!

Option 3 is still my fav, but option 5 is pretty awesome too.

 

I printed a similar set of wheels, and most likely be putting them on a Lightning.

The last ones would be my 2nd choice. But i think they are a still a bit too modern looking. The old style are still the better choice. They just fit the lines and truck style.

Very cool project, Anton! You've got me wanting to build a model of my two-door Tahoe now......

Thanks! Nice looking truck!
 That size on the wheels works really well. Is that “16?

[Hoffman]

Thank you, Anton! Those are 17x8's, Vision Legend 5. I adapted American Racing "Daisy" center caps. The tires are 235-65-17's up front and 275-65-17's in back. Lowered.......a bunch. Lot's of work! ?

[Chuckyg1]

Just found this. Cool build and well thought out. Watching where this will lead to. Where did you get the cone filters?

Nice setup! I can see that it’s lowered allot! Great work on it!

Thanks! The cone filters are printed by @Ghost_33 I think he bought the files from cults 3D.

Thanks for the info!

[Mattilacken]

So I think I have decided.. I gave the C5R wheels my best effort but still when looking at them straight ahead they look bad. The Pegasus 23’s are to big, so I will go with the Nismo’s or I guess I call them Advans. 
This is almost ride height, the tires will just be touching the edge of the body so it’s gonna be perfect when done right.

I LOVE it! Keep it coming! ?

[Jonathan]

Really cool build so far.

[Mattilacken]

Super stoked about this update.. 

my designed lights came in the mail today!

[iamsuperdan]

Most definitely an improvement over the kit lights!

For sure right! Could probably have made the edge of the lower light a bit thicker but will look god when painted and clear glas being put on.

[Mattilacken]

Made some needed adjustments to the radiator support. Starts to look good. I think I will make the lights a bit more shallow before putting it on cults.

[slusher]

Grill and lights upgrade look great!

[Mattilacken]

Not Mitch progress lately so every time I get some bench time it feels like progress. Got the lights glued in and started filling with CA and baking soda from behind to get a strong fixation 

[Oldcarfan27]

I like the lights, what will you use for the lenses?

What's your Cults name? I'll definitely purchase those headlight files when they're ready!
