Any Slick New Wheels Out There

Seems that I run boss 338s on every truck I buy. Going with chrome 20s this time on my 72... what to go with this time any ideas?

Re: Any Slick New Wheels Out There

Billet wheels are killer and I've found a lot of good billet options but I've tried them before and I just can't stay on top of them to keep them looking how they should... have rallys on her but there in bad shape and if I'm gonna spend the money I'd rather have chrome... 4.5/6 drop somewhat started today

Man, I just want some steelies. I think they've turned to gold. Could buy some pretty awesome rims for what steelies are getting. Waaaaah.

Re: Any Slick New Wheels Out There

Check with billet wheel manufactures, some are starting to clear coat the entire wheel to save people from spending countless hours polishing. You could always pick a billet wheel and have the center brushed and clear coated, than youd only have to polish the lip.

Ever tried Zoop Seal? You have to polish first to the luster you want because Zoop Seal is not a polish. It is a corrosion inhibitor. That or clear powdercoat.
