Who makes this wheel?
Anyone know who makes this wheel. I know normally I am the search king when it comes to wheels. I can't find this one anywhere. Does anyone have a close up pic of this Blazer? I know it was posted on a few sites....

I guess I am slipping in my old age. I thought it was a Boze wheel, but I couldn't find it on the sites I had for Boze. I see they are listed as bozeforged, not bozewheel like I thought.
Anyway, thanks for the link. The wheel doesn't do a lot for me, I was just curious what backspace they were available in for future reference. I see they offer custom backspace, and chrome too....Mmmmm! BTW- Brad, have you been by to look at you baby lately? |

The shop is only thirty minutes away so I see it every week or two. Steve has been doing some body work on it. Giving the gaps on the doors and fenders a little TLC. We have been talking about wheels some ourselves. The TT II's are just for mock up. They will be back on the 74 someday. I am leaning toward a 20/22 combo but am undeceided on brand and style.

You must be getting really excited seeing it start to take shape. I only wish mine was that far along.
The wheels will make or break the deal that's for sure. You also have to keep your paint scheme in mind. I assume you are sticking with the design in your rendering. If so, you will need something that will set off the classic look. The only problem I see with a staggered wheel size is when it's raised up. Look at the Blazer in the pic above. When it's lowered over the wheels, it looks killer. When it's raised up to drive height, the fron looks too small. That may not be an issue on yours, since it will be really low at drive height... After having an 18/20 combo on mine, I realized I don't like the look. I'll stick with 20's or 22's all around when the time comes.... |

no offense if those are what you are wanting... the blazer is nice but those wheels.... look like they should be on an escalade or avalanche or something.... looks like they should have those big ass spinners on them... put spinners on your truck and we will disown you.. jk

I don't care for that particular style either. What I do like is the fact that it is a chrome wheel, and it tucks on a bagged truck. I was hoping they had a style that I liked in the backspace that I need. I promise when it comes time to put wheels on my Blazer, you won't see any spinners or wire spokes |
