Either a dark grey center,... or a totally satin wheel. (lip included!)

Im leaning pretty heavily on a gray center wheel, or satin finish as you and SCOTI suggested

Kim57 · 11-09-2013, 11:26 PM

It sure turned out nice.

Looks awesome!

**lolife99** · 11-11-2013, 10:05 PM

How about the "SaltShaker" wheel from Rushforth Wheels?

Thats a cool wheel, Im kinda leaning towards the Billet Specialties Bonneville with the gray center. If I can afford them ,they're stupid expensive Ill decide in a week or two.

On the Rushforth Saltshaker - I priced those out last July '12 so it may have changed by now, but just to give you an idea of what Jason advised me:

- Salt Shakers start at $870 each in full polish because they require a
lot more machine time than most of our other designs and each custom
finish adds $75 each.

Love the build

RdoubleU · 11-15-2013, 01:43 PM

Dont know your price range, but here is another Brand other option to consider

Built by Forgeline and Designed by Ben Hermance

http://www.gripequipped.com/

Some good looking styles in there with the right finishes done to them

And the Bonneville-G's are $900-$1000 each from Billet Specialties (in 20's).
But they both look really good!

_Ogre · 11-15-2013, 03:43 PM

ouch on all of those options

my steel wheels cost me $78 each and i freaked on those prices
using billet wheels would have doubled the cost of my build
well minus the motor

Bennett68C10 · 11-15-2013, 04:32 PM

The Bonneville-g's are awesome looking wheels but are expensive. Another really nice wheel is the Intro Vintage with a satin or grey center. They look similar to the Bonneville-G but at a much better price.

Painter D · 11-15-2013, 08:35 PM

Dang, thanks for all the info guys I never even heard of some of the wheel brands some of you guys are throwing out. I want to run the Bonnevilles but I priced them the other day and wow are they high. Gonna check into those intros Bennett mentioned.
, gonna get a price on some Delmo specials also.

72BlckButy · 11-15-2013, 08:37 PM

Delmos would be cool.... color matched (matte) or would you run an 'off' color?

Mattyparty · 11-19-2013, 08:02 PM

Looks like you removed your center x member. Did you leave that out or did you put something back In?

BB72CHEVKT · 11-20-2013, 11:38 AM

The truck looks great!

7deuce · 11-21-2013, 09:53 AM

Delmos are $3350 a set when I called.

With or without hubcaps?

Painter D · 11-21-2013, 05:50 PM

Based on some of these wheel prices chrome steelies and wide whitewalls are starting to look better and better.

LoL.... I had that exact thought earlier.

**lolife99** · 11-21-2013, 07:19 PM

This truck deserves some nice billet wheels,...

jasonhall · 11-21-2013, 07:23 PM

Mob steel has some 20inch steelies

They are almost the same price as nice billet wheels. I think anyways.

ccreddell · 11-21-2013, 08:53 PM

I think it would look just fine with a set of Coy's on there....

54 CHEVY LR · 11-21-2013, 10:24 PM

Looks very clean and well thought out. Looking forward to the completed project.
