Re: 17" Spares?

Thanks for the replies guys. joedoh, holy cow. Never thought of modifying a wheel. I know a guy who MADE is own for a dune buggy, but I'm not that talented.
I'll probably just start saving for the vintiques, as you guys suggested. And you're right Ogre, the 15's are a lot cheaper. In hindsight, I probably should have done what joedoh did, and used the blazer brakes.
Apparently a lot of the ratrod guys use spare steel wheels, but usually older 15s. At least, according to another forum.
joedoh, I've been thinking about doing the Blazer brake swap on the rear end, or really a whole 4x4 rearend with discs. Any idea where I can find one of those in town?
