My 72 Super with 2002 aluminum wheels (You be the judge) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-07-2003, 09:54 PM

Well after much discussion, some heated,,, I thought that I would temperaraly mount a set of 2002 wheels and tires that I have on my Cheyenne Super to see what they look like on one of our trucks. See for yourself.... What do you think? Good, bad.. They will fit though, although I am going to need to cut a big hole in the center caps for the rear wheels so that they fit over the axles.

**70cst** · 03-07-2003, 10:53 PM

Hey WES
WES...
Those wheels would look much better on my 70cst...I tell you what.
You ship them to me amd I'll put them on my truck and I'll let you be the judge. HEHEHE
Oh yes...They do look sharp
Regards,
70cst

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-07-2003, 10:55 PM

Solver · 03-07-2003, 11:24 PM

Wes If you still have the pictures in regular size if you get a chance would you email them to me?
Kind of hard to tell on a smaller picture and I assume you had to size them down to post.My email is solver@evertek.net
If not I still appreciate the effort you went to to settle this debate

dat · 03-07-2003, 11:29 PM

Thanks a ton Wes! They look GREAT!

Is there any way you could post a close up picture of the front wheel wells? Just the front fender would be fine... I just want to see what the actual spacing looks like.

Also, what size tires do you have on them?

Nova_Cobra64 · 03-07-2003, 11:31 PM

I think those rims would look much more at home on a lifted 4x4 with huge tires.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-07-2003, 11:40 PM

Sorry those were the only three that I took and I shrank them. I will take more pictures tomorow when it is light ouside. Solver I tried to make the pictures larger and they didn't turn out verry good, but I will email them to you. I will also email you new ones once I take them. WES

Hooter · 03-07-2003, 11:46 PM

any rubbing or back spacing problems?

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-07-2003, 11:53 PM

Here are more that were taken just now.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-07-2003, 11:54 PM

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-07-2003, 11:56 PM

Last one.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-08-2003, 12:00 AM

No rubbing or back spacing problems that I know of.... They are smaller than the wheels that were on my truck befor and I didn't have any issues with them. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

casey · 03-08-2003, 03:34 AM

Hey Wes don't leave those beautys out side at night they'll get cold, nice trucks!

**GMCPaul** · 03-08-2003, 04:59 AM
