I like how 17" wheels look on these trucks, but I'm not sure how much I like those wheels that you are looking at. I have 17" Centerlines on my '73 and Rallys in the garage. I'm eventually going with the rallys and T/A's. If I were you, I would do the rallys(the daisies are cool too!!).

Here's a pic of my 17's.

**N2TRUX** · 11-13-2008, 09:08 PM

How much for the AR Daisy wheels? Those might look cool if the price is right. Have to give em a blasting and go with satin charcoal or satin black centers.

spoon · 11-13-2008, 09:51 PM

I'd run those Daisys before I ever run rallye wheels... any day of the week. If you have the money, buy some wheels. Don't just settle for rallyes because they look "acceptable." Rallye wheels would probably be the last wheel I ever run. As a matter of fact, if I were gonna buy new rims, I'd buy five so that way I made absolutely sure that I would never have to run a rallye wheel as a spare!

bigblock73 · 11-13-2008, 10:14 PM

The Daisy wheels are priced at $200...good deal in my opinion.

Drool. Do you have five?

killthewabbit · 11-13-2008, 11:20 PM

Daisys. No brainer. If it were me, I'd get the centers sandblasted or stripped, and run them as cast. Those look sweet, and they look like they're the right size too.

joe231 · 11-14-2008, 12:09 AM

heck yeah, those daisies are sweet!
i'd love to find a set of those

**Captkaos** · 11-14-2008, 01:42 AM

Daisy's. Blast the centers and paint they argent or charcoal.

I would jump on those daisy's. that is the style of wheel I am going to run when I finally decide to Ditch the pos chrome ones i have now. Chrome might work in TX and thew south west but it just gets rusty up here. I love the look of the Daisy because it reminds me of stuff I would see on vintage hot rods. I can't stand anything bigger then a 17 which I guess puts me against the crowd right now...................

the centerlines look like they belong on an S-10 IMO. Not a bad wheel just not right for the truck.

bigblock73 · 11-14-2008, 11:53 PM

Nice Joseph! You are making me want to get that drop kit sooner than later.

jdurant · 11-15-2008, 12:17 AM

Man, I love photoshop.

rod86 · 11-15-2008, 12:31 AM

so whos buying them daisys?

jdurant · 11-15-2008, 12:35 AM

Last one.

bigblock73 · 11-15-2008, 01:18 AM

I got the specs on the Daisy wheels from the seller.

Fronts are 15x8.5 with 4" backspacing
Rears are 15x10 with 3 3/4" backspacing

I am a little concerned, and fairy certain, the rear backspacing wont work for my truck. I attached a pic of Yeller with the Weld 15x10 Prostars with 5.5" backspacing...and as you can see, they barely fit in the wheel well. Having only 3 3/4" backspacing will only push them (the Daisys) out further.

Anyone else have 10" wide rear wheels, and what is your backspacing. Pics would be nice too if you can.

spoon · 11-15-2008, 11:05 AM

^^ Looks fine to me. If you need to, roll the renders.

rod86 · 11-15-2008, 11:29 AM

just tub the inside a little so the daisys clear an leave the truck at stock height... that would look tuff...

jdurant · 11-15-2008, 12:19 PM

My 10" wheels are 4.5" of bs. That evens the trackwidth with the front. I think that is about the limit. I wouldn't try any thing less. When I do finally get it lower, I don't think I will have to roll a fender lip or anything with 275s, but if I put the Hoosier 12.5 on there like I should, I think they'll have to be rolled or trimmed just a tad. I'm not sure I would take the guys word for it though. The daisies don't look that deep dish.

jdurant · 11-15-2008, 12:28 PM

Ok, I just relooked at those daisies, and looked at them alot last night. I used the pics you posted to do the photoshopping. I'm almost positive that the guy measured them wrong and doesn't really know what bs really is or how to measure it. I bet he measured from the front. There is just no way--they aren't that deep dish. I think they will work perfectly. I don't know how close the seller is too you, but maybe you ought to bring a tape measure and check them out yourself.

Jeff I have to agree with Joseph here. They just don't look that deep dish to me. I say go take a look for your self.

2bits · 11-15-2008, 03:59 PM

Yeah take a cruise over there and try it on for size. For $200? definitely worth the try as long as he isn't three hours away.

bigblock73 · 11-15-2008, 05:52 PM

He is located 60 miles north of where I live. I am going to pick them up Sunday evening. I am also picking up a set of clean plain steel wheels as well from another fella...so we'll see what happens.

Thanks for the help everyone!

bigblock73 · 11-17-2008, 12:01 AM

Welp, it looks like I wasted my time and gas...the backspacing is off for my liking (and the guy did measre correctly). Right now, the rim alone is about flush with the fender lip. Add a tire, and they will stick out...no good. Pics for reference.

SO, anyone need a set of vintage AR Daisy wheels? I will sell the for what I paid...$200.

cochino12 · 11-17-2008, 12:10 AM

that sucks, see if you can trade them for a set of centerlines?

f.monroe · 11-17-2008, 12:16 AM

Jeff , I might want them . What would shipping be on those to a business address in Bryan, Tx 77808 ?
