Post pics of your 20" rims!!!

I'm buying new rims and tires for my 71 SWB this weekend and I'm leaning towards the Ridler 645 Black rims. I also grew up around the drag strip so the look of a drag truck I still love. I just want to see what you guys are rolling on. Thanks

Re: Post pics of your 20" rims!!!

I got 20's on the back of my El Camino (18's front). I know it's not a truck per say, but I think they look pretty sharp. They are a "black chrome". I don't know if you can tell but they are not as blingy as traditional chrome wheels.
Don't know if this helps any.

Thanks. I wanted something that was not quite so in your face that it took your attention away from the car. First pic I think is actually the front 18".

First is Boss 338's, they looked good but way to much work keeping them clean. I went to the Ridler 645's in gray with the chrome lip and I like them much better. I clean them like twice in an entire season.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

I do like the Iroc's, the wire is a hard sell though.

Oh, I got it, that makes more sense. These wheels were on the truck when I bought it. I like the looks, but I've always been partial to the Torque Thrusts myself.

2" drop spindles and 3" drop springs on the front, leaf spring flip kit 5.5" on the rear. Front tires are 255/35r20 and tears are 275/45r20. Wish the pics weren't upside down.
