New Wheels before and after....

Freshly installed new wheels and tires....haven't even cleaned them yet but couldn't wait! The "Slicer Dicer" wheels are history!

Sweet looking 67! Those rims are much better, although the "Slicer Dicer" name should stick around...

Sweet! Looks much better. Glad you like them; there's not many things worse than not being happy with your truck!

Good move! It went from ghetto cruiser to hot rod hovercraft!!!! The truck/rim paint combo is a nice touch.
