What rims are these?

Hey guys I just got a 66 c10, and I ran across a truck on YouTube called green tiki, not sure if he's a member on here or not but I love the truck especially the wheel and tire setup, I would love to do the same on mine so can anyone tell me what the rims are exactly and center caps along with what white wall tires. I'm guessing they are the solid steel rally wheels but not sure on center caps or what kind of white walls! Any help is appreciated thanks guys

Chris

Those look like Wheel Vintiques Smoothies to me. Summit Racing has them.

Re: What rims are these?

I second the wheel vintiques smoothies, the caps are absolutely camaro disc rally caps with a bullet added to the center.

based on the tread, I would say the tires are bfg 2" white walls from coker.

hope you werent looking to save money, that is a popular combo right now and they dont charge less when they sell more haha.

From Wheel Vintiques:

Wheels
http://www.wheelvintiques.com/index....re-finish.html

Arrow caps
http://www.wheelvintiques.com/index....ullet-cap.html

Trim rings from their catalog (but not in their online catalog)
Go to page 11.
Item #3005-15
http://www.wheelvintiques.com/view-catalog

Looks like you can go up to 17" wheel with trim ring and center caps.

stick to close a zero offset or if they only list backspacing, add an inch to the wheel width and divide by two, and stick close as you can to that number for 7 and 8 inch wide wheels.

definitely should come in cheaper than billets, my 22" billets were 4k without tires. they are super high quality but I live on a dirt road, my advice is go steel!

mobsteels are also an option, the 20" set of steel wheels is $1500 or so with caps and rings, they look just like the vintiques and you could run that same cap. My friend just bought some and they took his original caps and welded the right lip to them so his original caps fit.





I just checked their website though and it seems to be down or not working correctly...
