It is more expensive to keep these rims since you need to get new tubes and new liners and extra charge for mounting and dismounting, but your vehicle will be period correct, not many 60's 3/4 tons are these days, and your keeping your '66 all '66. Also, always carry a good spare tire with you, just in case you get a flat and there is no truck tire dealer near by.
I love that look with the big flat ring now ...I guess it took me awhile to grow up.
Hey Factorystock - is that your truck (wheel) in the picture? I don't want to derail Sodly's thread here, but If you have a 60-66 truck I can't remember you ever posting it, and I (we) would love to see it. Don't be shy now.
EDIT: I see that since I type so slowly, 60-66 beat me to the punch. Ha! we're like a mob demanding pictures.
