Re: Finally 67 SS wheel done! Pics

That looks great! I'm a fan of car wheels in trucks. Many don't realize but the factory truck wheels are no bigger than most car wheels from back then,either. People must have started getting fatter in the '70s .
I've used those vinyl leather-look covers with the holes. I have one on my '72 that's been on that wheel since the '80s. Since wheels got fatter and cushioned you don't see these as available as years ago. But,at one time I had a leather cover and it had no holes. The lace was hidden,too. Hopefully someone still makes those.
