GM Rallye Wheel Question and pic request
Hey,
Looking to spruce up my wheels, have been running the 4WD rallyes for quite a bit. Since I used to have no money and kind of relied on used tires for my rig, the beauty trim rings have done a number on the painted surface of the wheels. See the first link for a pic of this type of wheel. http://www.stocktonwheel.com/light_truck_wheels.htm The wheels I have are 6 lugs and are the 4th picture down. I am looking to take these wheels down to bare metal and either powdercoating or painting them a darker metallic shade of gunmetal grey. Either I am really stupid or just a glutton for punishment, but I put in a drop kit and kicked down the extra $100 for Early Classic to run the 6 lug front discs. Seems like the aftermarket is pretty much tailored for the 5 lug wheels and I am up a creek. I really like the fat whitewall look, but am not really into the full blown rat rod type flat black paintjob. What I want to do is keep things simple and run some sort of "spider cap" over the 6 lugnuts. In my opinion less is more, especially with wheels... Here is an example of a spider cap. http://www.hubcapmike.com/spider-c8056.html Does anyone know of someone who makes these for us 6 lug folks, or am I still up that creek? I was hoping to not have to do the poor man's spider caps with the bullet and the specially tipped lugs, but is that the only option I have open to me? PS--Anyone have any photos of a truck rallye with an other than stock color? Would like to see what it would look like in a color other than light silver. Thanks.
