Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

This is what I did to my 8 inch truck rally wheels. For the center I used part of a 72 Chevelle wheel cover and I bought reproductions 72 Corvette trim rings.

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

That looks awesome man, plus its all chevy! So how are the centers attached? Are they held in place by the trim ring only?

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

i know you are posting about you wheels but your pickup is very NICE!!!! reminds me of my grandads.

thank you for sending this in......

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

I cut the centers so they fit tight all the way back in the wheel and yes the trim ring holds it in. Thanks

Now that's a different look. Thinking outside the box as they say. I'm not a billet fan but that would look good in billet too.

Those are SWEET!!!! Now all you need is the back story. Like .... Dealers were given a set of these caps for every 1000 cars they sold in a year. And a new Chevrolet myth is born.
All joking aside they look great. :metal::metal::metal:

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

I don't even really get what you did...but love the final product!! Wish wheel designers were more creative to come up with revamped styles.

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

Nicely done.

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

Those are Fricken awesome! Nice Job, definitely a one off custom

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

I'm impressed!:metal:
Hmmm? I already have those trim rings.;)
They are uniquely cool!
Congrats:metal:

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

Brilliant!

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

Creative use of a variety of parts. Nice.

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

Those look great! Well done.

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

Ah, the optional Corvette wheel cover. I'm not entirely sure I know what I'm looking at, and maybe I wouldn't like it if I did, but I like the way they look.

Therefore, I officially endorse this product and/or service!

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

Those came together really nicely. Great work!

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

That looks excellent. Has a nice retro look to it. I love seeing people make one of a kind things.

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

That is, to me....quite simply the best wheel/wheel cover idea and move I've seen on these trucks in years.:metal:

A lot of that is based on the simple creativity you put into use in making something custom yourself.

Absolutely great work and a great look.....and I love the ingenuity and creativity behind it.
Nothing like being the 'only one' with that wheel cover set-up.....very few can do it given the fact that most follow, very few lead.

Excellent stuff!

All good

X2...And with raised white letters...Awesome look.

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

Those do look good! :cool:

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

Looks Great... and where did ya get those Hoosier tires at?

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

Very nice!!!

I see hundreds of aftermarket wheels, all different trpes, they almost ALWAYS look ugly to me.

Job well done!!!

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

man, that is cool! Nice job.

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

Hey thanks. Those tires were on the truck when I got it.

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

Thanks everyone for all the nice comments. Here is a picture of it outside today.

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

Cool look. Reminds me of things I used to do with my 1/25th scale models.

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

could you post some pictures of the modified hubcap by it self. I love the look and I would like to replicate it.

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

Great job on those

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

Very nice great looking

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

That is nice!!!!!

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

Here are pictures, The one on the right in the one picture is after I cut it and tapered the edge.

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

The reflection gives the appearance of double row of slots. Very cool, I assume those are from 14" caps. I have a set of 67 Buick hubcaps, there 15", too big to modify and the centers were plastic.

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

Yes they are 14"

Re: Pictures of my home made custom wheels, sort of
 

Those look pretty trick.
