Rollin on 15" Steelies

Last week while driving around I came across a garage sale. Something made me spot and snoop around. So glad I did cuz I found a set of caps and rings for 40 duckies!!

Not really different offsets, but different sizes depending on the year. Those are 88-98 style rallies. They are 15x7's so they won't rub. The early style was available in 15x7 and 15x8. The 73-87 15x7's won't rub either.
