Jvsapp · 02-19-2010, 03:00 AM

coming along really nice.... can't wait to see the finished product

smbrouss70 · 02-18-2010, 09:09 PM

Which ones did you get? You know we want to see pictures, and we KNOW you have opened them and probably mounted them on the suburban... so give 'em up already!!!!

jmedero · 02-18-2010, 09:29 PM

It's the 14'' celica suppers right?

**lolife99** · 02-18-2010, 09:36 PM

OK we need them un-wrapped,...

nickp51chevy · 02-18-2010, 09:43 PM

What a tease....

VA72C10 · 02-18-2010, 09:43 PM

Man, you LOVE doing this to us...just like when you took the crewcab for paint.....evil man, just evil

67ChevyRedneck · 02-19-2010, 12:09 AM

After all the time and money you've put into the burb, you're just going to slap some white spoke wagon wheels on it?

72BlckButy · 02-19-2010, 09:05 AM

We need some more info... don't leave us hangin'!

gcburdic · 02-19-2010, 09:42 AM

Happy bday to your wife Rob....(I'm not even gonna ask about the wheels, because I don't care....really, I have no interest in those stupid wheels, I mean I don't even wanna see just one of them....really, I'm not sayin I'm just sayin')

splehigh · 02-19-2010, 03:36 PM

Nicest burb I have ever seen. Cant wait to see what wheels you chose. I'm guessing maybe the polished Coys.

VA72C10 · 02-19-2010, 04:08 PM

Now, that's just wrong....tease us here then post in the CPP thread

Thanks! I got the fittings and hose at NAPA. I used a weatherhead adapter, 16mm male 5/8 inverted flare.

Good choice Rob! Where's the zoomed out shot?

**lolife99** · 02-19-2010, 07:17 PM

Good choice.
What backspace on the 20x10's?
We still need more pics,...

smbrouss70 · 02-19-2010, 09:01 PM

OK, that sucks. I ordered my Grey Coy's on Jan. 4th and haven't seen them yet. This past Saturday you posted that you were still undecided on wheels and you get them in on Thursday?!

By the way they look perfect on your burb.

I've still got the front end tore apart redoing the brakes and the bags. PLUS, Coys sent me the wrong backspacing on the rear wheels. I told them that I needed a 5" backspacing and they sent me 5.5", which would be pefect if I had a 71/72 rearend and not the narrower one....

. I suppose I could swap the rearend with my 68 (it's got the wider one), but I really don't want to go through the hassle. So, now I'm wating to see if they can find the correct backspacing to fix the problem.....

. On a good note, supposedly they fixed the problem with the front wheels as far as the dust cover goes. Either that or the CPP hub and rotor makes a difference....

It really caught me by suprise also. I ordered them on the 9th and got a call from the UPS guy yesterday saying he had them for delivery. To bad the backspacing on the rear is wrong,

Coys seems to take it upon themselves ,to send out whichever wheels they want to. I have heard of this happing before,... and hate it.
Why would a company do that?

nickp51chevy · 02-19-2010, 09:45 PM

There it is.

Those are probably my favorite style of wheels. When will you give us a full shot of the Burb with the wheels?

smbrouss70 · 02-19-2010, 10:09 PM

I think I'm going to call on Monday and make sure they know which backspacing I want. Hopefully, I can avoid that problem.

I don't know keith, I don't quite get that either, maybe he was hoping that I would just run spacers. When I spoke to them the first time they said a 5.5" BS should fit. I told him I didn't think so and that I wanted to re-measure everything (for the 10th time

) before ordering. So I after veryifying my measurements, I called them back and told them that I did indeed need a 5" instead of a 5.5" BS and even explained the differences in the pre 71 rearends. Fast forward to yesterday, as soon as I unpackaged them I knew they were wrong, but I put them on the hub just to see. Sure enough they rubbed on the inside. So I call them up and tell them the mistake. He then tells me that he had 5.5 on the paperwork and I said I didn't matter what the paperwork said, I know what I told him. He said he would have to find that backspacing because he doesn't have anymore on the shelf. The clincher was when he told me that they NEVER had a problem with running 5.5" BS on this year model of truck. Maybe it's the difference of the burb and the truck, I don't know. I do know that I'm not running spacers....

I agree and I would also send them an email with your exact specifications, just in case there is an issue after they arrive.

That's why you got, what you got.
The sad part is,... these wheels are the exact same, except they mill an extra 1/2" off the center hub, when they make the 5.5" backspace wheels.

It's not like the 5" backspace wheels have 1/2" more dish on the front side, because they don't.
They cast them all as 5" backspace, and then mill the extra thick hub for the 5.5" BS orders.
Pure BS (not backspace) in my opinion.
What do you do now?
Break down the tires and ship the wheels back?
I would make them send a UPS "pick ticket" and send you out another set, with tires.
