Those look really nice. You could make a few $$ selling those adapters, I'd consider keeping my ralley's if I could run caps like that.

I have 17's now, but I'm wanting to run a larger wheel to have better options for tires better suited for autocrossing.

My current wheel/tire sizes are 17x8- 255/50/17 Front, 19x9.5- 275/55/17 Rear.

Nice looking truck, Chop! Ok, now I'm back to wanting torque thrusts on mine ;) How much drop do you have, and what size tires are you running?

She's still at a friend's garage and working on it every chance we get. Added a new Accel dizzy, new plugs, (need wires) rebuilt the carb, added an electronic choke, adjusted valves, brought the compression up to 110lbs from 60. Trying to get the new fuel gauge operational, gotta swap a new heater core tomorrow, get a new fuel pump, get the gauge cluster (bezel) back in and steering wheel on, get the Custom/10 badges on before we toss the inner fender wells back in place, toss on a set of 68/69 camaro mirrors,..(yep, I took the others back and exchanged them as per your and dg's advice, ;) melt the orange and black paint off the grille tomorrow with "Air Craft Remover"(?) so it will be ready for the bumper dg is sending, ..oh, and get a functional horn..lol.

Just chipping away at the stone and making a little, but steady progress. :metal:

I think I like the black best as well. Red would be 2nd choice.
