The rubber to metal ratio here is perfect and I like the color of the wheels and caps. I wish my 8 lugs could accept wheels and caps like that. Great job.

I agree that sicklajoie's set up is beautiful and classic, 1971 3/4.

But put other options to "shame"? I think there's room for all kinds.
And I appreciate almost all of 'em for their differences.

Granted, some set-ups look better than others. But I remember when
I first put my 20's on. Boy, was I happy with the look.

As my brother says, "Everybody takes their coffee different".

You're absolutely right, man. I honestly did not mean to insult anybody's hard work. Thanks for putting me in my place.

What's the BS/offset on your rear wheels? Have you had the bed on it yet? I've got some 18x11 wheels with 6" BS and I put a 285/40/18 on it I believe but I haven't put the bed on yet. I'm worried about either the tires rubbing or they're going to look to small, but I found out about the Nitto 555 after I bought these tires. If you have the bed on it can you take some pictures from the side?

Thanks. All you have to do is refinance yours & your wife's vehicles. Or sale a kidney.

BugzC10,
what did you do to restore your rims and center caps ? I have a set that I want to do for my daughter's C10 and I was planning on having them powder coated.

cheers

I sanded, paint stripper, wire wheeled, primed and painted the wheels, inside & out. I would have power coated, but there's not shops convienient. I tapped or re- tapped (cleaned the treads) all of the center cap bolt holes. Only 3 of the 5 center cap bolt holes are threaded, so tapped the other 2 for ease of installation. I scrapped off the original Chevy emblems and stripped of all the OEM paint on the center caps. Polished the chrome center caps. Replace the center cap emblem with some New OEM emblems I found on this site. I purchased some stainless steel wide shoulder button head allen screws to attach the center cap. Installed new ~1.75 Pollished SS beauty rims. Went with 1.75 because the fronts are only 6.5 wide. Considering going with some 2.5-3" on the rear. Finished off the look with crome Gorilla Locking lugs.

exdrocca · 03-02-2014, 04:13 PM

Probably the worst place to take a picture, in a dark garage. I couldn't wait any longer to put a wheel on with this cold weather and all. They are 20x8.5 Boss 313's. They were very budget friendly on craigslist. They came with tires and a good size that would fit (275/45/20) and that are brand new. I couldn't pass it up, and like the design of the rim. The chrome was pitted pretty bad. I sprayed them with plasti-dip and a gloss clearcoat. I never thought I would resort to that, but it covered up really well.

az's1971C10 · 03-04-2014, 11:20 PM

Thanks Bugzc10 for the info, they look great.
cheers

Tommy,
What is the widest 17" ridler 645 you have? 17" x 9.5"? can you post a picture of a set of these or at least one with a tire mounted on it?
Thanks!
Ben Smith
