Finally, My 22s are HERE!!! Kind of... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

muthstryker · 06-26-2011, 03:15 AM

So, I finally got to see the light at the end of the longest tunnel ever. (Had to wait 8 mos for the wheels to be made because I was the first to order them in 22s and they needed a special forging.)

These are the front wheels, I will be getting the rears next week they had a problem in the clear coat on the rear wheels so they were re spraying it. The rears will have a bigger lip.

Pictures do not do these wheels justice, they really need to be seen in person to appreciate the amount of detail in them. I tried to capture it the best as possible with my camera phone..

And a couple of teaser pics of the wheels on the back of the truck.. (YES, The truck is a shelf right now, ignore the stuff in the bed, I bought a 67 Cutlass and its taking up the garage right now and using up my trucks space..)

I think they are going to look sweet, when do we see the final pics with rubber?

TheApocalyptican · 06-26-2011, 03:50 AM

Not too sure if I like the 22's part as I'm not typically a fan of anything over 20's but I'll reserve judgement til I see them on the truck with rubber. The design of the rims however are really good looking. Who makes 'em?

looks sweet I hope to see it and you at a couple of shows this summer

Pop's C-10 · 06-26-2011, 09:31 AM

they look good

muthstryker · 06-26-2011, 11:21 AM

They are made by Rushforth wheels, they are Concept I's. The fronts are 22x8.5 and the rears are 22x10. I wont be getting rubber on the wheels for awhile because I had the wheels made to fit Wilwood 14" disc brakes, and the front wont go on over my hubs. Kind of messing with the cutlass for a little bit. I was just excited they finally came!

As soon as I buy those brakes I will get put everything on right away, still need to get a tranny and have the rear end re built for the motor.

Cherub · 06-26-2011, 11:27 AM

oh yea they look killer, now wrap some rubber around them and get that thing on the road!

muthstryker · 06-26-2011, 12:29 PM

I actually have round glass tables that the glass is big enough, however, that "little woman" is my mother. I told her my idea and she wasn't having it...

It's a lot easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

Good looking wheels.
