DC-1's. The best of all three worlds: chrome(err polished), black, and spoked.

Lemme add some....





I have a har-don for theses.....personally think they would look better on a wedgewood than a sonic....but that's just my opinion...

Chrome/Polished on a Sonic truck looks best.

well i was leaning towards those eagle wheels, the black ones with the chrome bead lock, similar rim design to the pro comp 1079's but im gradually coming over to just getting regular polished 1079's cause i really havent seen any black rims on sonic blue that looks nice......

If you don't like polishing polished aluminum wheels, save up a little more money and get chrome wheels. Most good chrome wheels today are chrome over aluminum so you don't have to worry about rust either - well worth it IMO.
