Who has updated their steel wheels?
 

Sorry bout the title, couldnt think of any other way to describe what Im about to ask for. My latest kick has been scanning through the different trucks on the net, looking at ways people have customized their steel wheels. What got me going on this was a spring 2008 issue of hot rod deluxe. The last article in that mag was about pairing different combinations of painted steel wheels add-ons such as trim rings, spider caps, and regular center caps. So thats what Id like to see pics of here. Has anyone done anything like that on our ralley wheels? sorry if this is kinda confusing. Its one of those "its easier to show ya" things... but I cant find anything on that mag online, nor can I get my scanner to work with my netbook.

I've seen people paint the steel body color and use the chrome beauty rings and center caps. Looks good.

Re: Who has updated their steel wheels?
 

I painted my OEM rims semi-flat black, same as my truck paint. I will be putting some rings on them and possibly some spider caps on as well.

Here are some pics of custom oem/rally wheels.

Ive always loved the steel rallys, had a set on my 91 before it was totaled. I sand-blasted them down, primed and painted them body color of my truck.

Hey on that first 60' model black truck (the one with the low pro tires) What size are those wheels? I am assuming they are the 20" spare wheel for doges or somethin... Where do you get them? They look sick!

Thanks!

Do some research on the Porta-Walls, they're not recommended for use with radial tires.

Re: Who has updated their steel wheels?

I love the spinners. Where'd you get them?

Re: Who has updated their steel wheels?
 

Here's mine, painted the yellow/orange caps the same color as the rims(coating in a can) and painted the center bowtie and ring red, goes nice with the red grill emblem and I had the chevrolet on the tailgate painted the same...

Re: Who has updated their steel wheels?
 

i wish i knew.the previous owner gave them to me in a box when i got the truck;)

Re: Who has updated their steel wheels?
 

I put the Vette/Camaro style Rallys on my truck back in the mid 90's, painted to match the body, with truck centers.

The black ones I just put on my 77 are 88+ Rallys, powdercoated gloss black, with chrome centers and black lug nut covers.

Re: Who has updated their steel wheels?
 

I like to see the painted steel wheels put to use. I've got a set of the 15x8 rally's sandblasted and primed, almost ready to go on my daughter's truck.

Re: Who has updated their steel wheels?
 

Here are the steel wheels that were on my truck. They're just painted the same color as my truck with a narrow ring and Chevy truck center cap. If you get the car rallies you could add a moon center or something. Attachment 549425

Re: Who has updated their steel wheels?
 

I've seen the sport truck pics before........ Anyone have more info on these wheels?

Re: Who has updated their steel wheels?
 

I had an old set of 8 spoke wheels that i got for free. I thought i'd clean them up a lil and use them as winter wheels. I just painted them to match the body, added trim rings and GM center caps with spinners. The were nothing special, but actually had a few guys ask me if i wanted to sell them. They were 15 x 7's and 15 x 10's.
