Re: need help with wheels.
Then use different ones that you can get from them. Use any resource you can to help get it right.

Re: need help with wheels.
I've always measured my own BS, simply because I don't trust anyone else to do it. I like the deep dish look as well , make sure whoever does it knows how to measure it out to get the maximum dish.

I remember when 15's where it, and if you wanted to be really cool, you got 15x10's...lol. Now there are 32's, I saw a Hummer on 30's a few months ago. The guy is a track runner, Wallace Spearman, or Tyson Gay owns it, I forget. Its awesome but huge. Anyways thanks guys. |

Re: need help with wheels.
I think w/slightly different logic so hear me out . . .... Yes, the large diameter rollers are popular & can get a truck noticed. The challange is to build a truck that gets noticed even if it has 15" wheels.
Build the truck & let the wheels compliment the build.... regardless of their size.

I have a Pro Star look-alike. They are a Prime's, Walmart carried them, or still do. They were on my truck when I bought it, 10, or 11 years ago. I don't think they will tuck behind back fenders when I get it bagged. They are 15x8 on back, 6 on front. The back looks close already, and they may fit, but may not. If they fit I'll keep them for a while longer, but they are scratched, dented, and bent up. I don't know when I'll get wheels really. I want them now, but may wait, and make the truck they way I want, and wheel last. I just wanted to make the notch for the wheel diameter I want in the end, when I do get wheels. Very good atitude though. I always liked a nice truck, and nice paint more than big wheels, and dents. A lot of people are the other way about it, but thats why we are all different. I hear ya, and hears what I think about it. If my wheels fit, I'll build the truck first. I have new tires on it, even if I want a nicer wheel, then I can buy, new 15's for fairly cheap, and look great. They aren't big, but they are reasonably priced, and a cheap way because I don't need tires. Most cheaper 22's, with tires, are around $2000. That kinda money will make an old truck look nice. That can finish most interiors, and even some new paint. Last edited by The Big Green; 12-20-2008 at 12:48 PM. |

Another idea is some plain-jane solid steelies painted gloss (enter color of choice). Some chrome lugs & you have a cheap yet clean & detailed set of rolling stock.
