Vista Twist? Nice wheels!

**kev2809** · 08-16-2010, 04:39 PM

nice wheels, should really set it off. what color is the truck going to be?

dv8customs · 08-16-2010, 05:05 PM

Not nailed down on a color yet but leaning towards a blue or blue/white two tone. Think colors that would have been on cars in the 50's-60's.

justpball · 08-16-2010, 05:45 PM

nice score!

**kev2809** · 08-16-2010, 05:58 PM

nice, vanilla and candy red

i know candy wasnt around back then but that sure is a nice combo

dv8customs · 08-18-2010, 08:44 PM

Picked them up today, just need a little TLC and they will look awesome. As a bonus, with this smaller wheel/tire combo I can turn lock to lock laid out and not hit a thing!

nice...the wheels are awesome. what size/backspace are they?

dv8customs · 08-18-2010, 08:58 PM

20x8.5.... not sure on back spacing. I would have to check it out

ratty 46 · 08-18-2010, 09:15 PM

Wheel combo is right on.

Color suggestion .... two tone blue & white - early 70's chevrolet trucks or square body years. That'd look kick ass.

very nice!!!

**kev2809** · 08-18-2010, 09:33 PM

wheels look great!

dbmx66 · 08-18-2010, 11:15 PM

are you planning on any custom fabrication work in the engine compartment?

3r!c84 · 08-18-2010, 11:26 PM

Nothing planned other than the fenders that are in there now. I would love to use a dimple die on those inner fenders but I don't have one and in my small part of East Texas that isn't something a business around here would have.

breeze85cten · 08-19-2010, 12:10 AM

Those are perfect rims for your ride. I wish I could afford any kind in intros. They are by far the sickest wheel manufacturer. I have a bagged 85 c10 and I am rocking the rallys. Cheap but with the beauty rings it looks sharp. How did you get your front level? Chop up the crossmember?

palposity · 08-19-2010, 09:20 AM

Your metal working skills are so impressive. I wish my skill level was even 1/2 of yours!

ill pay you to do the body work on mine.

Leedogg · 08-20-2010, 04:40 PM

I just read through this entire thread- and have been thouroughly(sp) entertained. You work is penomenal. I want a crew cab dually with this same stance. I was planning a porterbuilt front end, and 2x4'ing the frame, like you, and trimming the lower portion that's left. Awesome work you've done there!

dv8customs · 08-20-2010, 10:26 PM

Broke out some elbow grease today

*BGRAFX* · 08-20-2010, 10:40 PM

Damn! Nice wheels man

*Stitch* · 08-20-2010, 10:43 PM

Nice!!

3r!c84 · 08-20-2010, 11:01 PM

love the wheels... i dont know if you said befor but what engine are you going with?

dv8customs · 08-20-2010, 11:07 PM

Going with a 350, not planning anything special for it right now.
