My wheels are steelies, they look like my old silver ones, but 17", and black. They were like $90 a wheel, and I have some center caps to run. If you want ones that look just like factory steels, Wheel Vintiques makes em for about $200 a wheel.

Had a chance to do a few things on the truck yesterday. Here are the new wheels. The made the truck sit almost 2 inches lower between th shorter tire, and added clearance. They turn all the way with no rub, and the rears just barely tuck, just like I hoped!

I have a friend who is a really good body man, and he said that since we had the welder out to put on the pan, we should fill in the bedrails!
This guy is a master!

We also made a mounting plate for my airbag controls and radio. I had another buddy who came up with this concept, and I really like it so far. We are doing a test run to see if we neeg to change it any before we weld, grind and paint it. Also put on my $10 ebay seat cover!

Of course I was excited to drive my truck with all these new bells and whistles, but as it was sitting outside warming up, there was a loud POP and antifreeze went all over. The swivel water neck I got off of ebay flew apart!

Luckily, there was an old neck in the shop, so we stuck it on , and I was able to have my drive, finally!

The wheels look sweet Matt. The water neck blowing really sucks though. Hopefully you can get that fixed pretty quick and take her for a spin.

Looks awesome Matt, glad they fit like you had hoped.

Here is one a little better, but with the old wheels, and another truck I really like with 17" 6 lug steelies off of a Nissan.
