Re: smothies
Yeah, I've seen some running around and they are period correct for these trucks. You wanting to ditch the ralleys? What size tire you running?

Re: smoothies
more than likely some time. I am running 235 70 in front 275 60 in rear. My other thought was running wider rings and painting the ralleys white?

Re: smoothies
I had smoothies on Lefty for about a year until I switched to 5 lug. the problem I had was the chrome was so crappy they rusted in 3 months. if i can find some 5 lugs i would probably have them stripped and chromed locally. they look awesome on our trucks. JMO

Re: smoothies
I have em on my 69.I think they are pretty cool.I have not had any rust issues.
I forgot to mention that the rear wheels were custom made in Cali.They are 12 inchs deep.

Re: smoothies
You need to keep them clean and waxed.They`re probably the easiest wheel and cap to keep clean.
