Quality is not an issue.

Re: steel wheels
 

what size are you running?

Re: steel wheels
 

Like turkey said quality is not an issue.. 15x7 12 series smoothies bare medal and I had them powder coated..(Wheels Vintique) but buy them at Summit!! A whole lot cheaper in cost and shipping... I saved close to $150.00 that route...

Re: steel wheels
 

Thanks for the replys summit is where I was gonna buy from. I looking at 15x8 on all fours. The more I see that wheel (smoothie) the more I like it.

Re: steel wheels
 

Bad A$$ wheels.... Did you buy Coker tires?

Re: steel wheels
 

Yeah, bought them trough summit also. G78-15

Re: steel wheels
 

Well I got it done, went from Pro Street to Old School. I could not be happier with the look. I liked it before but I love it now. 15x7 on the front and 15x10 on the back. I'll post up better pictures later when I can.

before and after

Great looking smoothies, may I ask the color ?

Re: steel wheels
 

What is the diameter of the center hole in the 12 series 15x7?

Thanks,
Steven

Re: steel wheels
 

Rally America makes smoothies in custom offsets. Real good prices too. Have done business with them several times over the past 5 or 6 years. Good people to work with. no charge for custom offsets.

Brasshead now that looks sweeeet...good choice.. Did you order them bare medal and had them painted or powdercoated???

Re: steel wheels
 

Thanks for all the kind words. The wheels are Wheels Vintique series 12 smoothies. The front are 15x7 with a 4"back space. The rears are 15x10 with a 4" back space. I am running a 4x4 S10 rearend which is narrower than the factory by about 3". The rear wheels just clear the fenders, I had to bend the wheel well lip in to clear.


The color is antique white from Sherwin Williams straight out of the rattle can.

I ordered the wheels from summit racing and they come primered gray, great service, fast, and free shipping.

The wheel centers are 3.2 inches.

The center caps are 52 chevy from wheels vintique also from summit racing

Re: steel wheels
 

Glad you got 'em. They look great.

Re: steel wheels
 

Looks great! They are really hard to beat for the money. I went with a 15x7 & 15x8 combo painted bright white.

Re: steel wheels
 

I actually like their Series 62 steel wheel better.
And they will take a dogdish hubcap.

The Series 64 wheel is chrome,... like the old school chrome reverse wheels.

Re: steel wheels
 

Perfect!!! Love it!!!!

Re: steel wheels
 

As promised better pictures

Re: steel wheels
 

MUCH better^^^

Re: steel wheels
 

Lowlife I agree with you on the series 62 wheels, but I was told NO six lug options in that series... which sucks. I've kinda been on a rant of sorts here lately at the lack off decent six lug wheel options. If you look at the 17" summit torq thrust, they stay back ordered all the time. So I think there is enough demand for six lug wheels with some backspace options. Anyway rant over. Thanks

Re: steel wheels
 

I know Stockton wheel is now back .
(maybe with a new owner???)
They can build you whatever you want in 6-lug.

Re: steel wheels
 

That's why I snatched these off the parts board a few months back.
This 67-72forum, is great for finding unusual stuff.

Brand new in the box.
15x6 and 15x8 chrome reverse wheels in 6-lug!

Re: steel wheels
 

Thanks guys, some of my club members think I need beauty rings (the thin rings) I'm not sure, I like as is. What do you guys think?

Re: steel wheels
 

I would have bought those and my truck is not even six lug anymore!!!!!!!

Re: steel wheels
 

No rings...:metal::metal:

Re: steel wheels
 

How do the caps attach to these wheels?

Re: steel wheels
 

They snap over the nubs.
Any 1/2 ton dogdish hubcap should work.
Even some passenger car caps.

Re: steel wheels
 

NO WAY.
Looks perfect now!

Re: steel wheels
 

no rings man that looks tits..

Re: steel wheels
 

no rings

Re: steel wheels
 

I would say no rings as well.

Re: steel wheels
 

I think you should refund every dime they spent on your truck. ;)


I am going to get some WV big ol fattys to run on mine once in a while

Re: steel wheels
 

Thanks guys, I think no rings will be the way to go. It just has more of a truck feel. Now I need carpet!

Re: steel wheels
 

I'm sorry but I disagree, I have always liked beauty rings so I'd put one on and see if you like it. Just my opinion plus it will go with the chrome grille and bumpers on your truck.

Re: steel wheels
 

Hay BRASSHEAD how low is your truck.

Re: steel wheels
 

BRASSHEAD-------who makes the center caps?
