Re: 18" and 20" steel wheels?
Adam told me $880 for a set of 20's and $980 if I wanted them powdercoated white, which I do. Shipping isn't $320!! Hey, that's capitalism and if he gets it, good for him.

Re: 18" and 20" steel wheels?
I really think it's the caps. I think if you were to do what Delmo did with the old dog dish caps I think it would look good. I'd like to see someone do that or at least photoshop it.

Re: 18" and 20" steel wheels?
Here is my ride a 67 stepper bagged and bodydropped on 22x9 smoothies with 265/35/22 all around. I am wanting to go with some 20 in mobsteels in off white with caps and skinny whitewalls. I want a tire and wheel combo thats a little smaller so I can cruise a little lower without having to air up all the way maxxed out so I can turn without scrubbing any suggestions on tires and backspacing would be appreciated. 22x9 with 5.5 bs and +12 mm offset is what I have now if that helps was thinking of running 265/35/20 and dropping the overall diameter 2 inches from 29.3 to 27.3. Let me know if I am going in the right direction and your opinions are appreciated.

Re: 18" and 20" steel wheels?
I have been talking with Pam over at mobsteel via email and it turns out that they now stamp their wheels in 6x5.5! I'm trying to get some information on a potential 22. Fingers crossed...

Re: 18" and 20" steel wheels?
Really? That's not that bad, for me anyway. I can wait 4-5 months considering I have my 64 in pieces.

Re: 18" and 20" steel wheels?
Will factory dog dish caps work with these wheels or would I have to install some clips?

Re: 18" and 20" steel wheels?
You'll need to drill and tap for clips. That's what I plan to do. Just trying to decide on which caps to use.

Re: 18" and 20" steel wheels?
Ok sounds good. I figured I would need the clips but just wanted to make sure. I plan on installing the original factory caps.

Re: 18" and 20" steel wheels?
Drilled and tapped the smoothies for some old 6 lug center caps yesterday I think some color on the faces of the wheels with polished lips will finish off the look. All the chrome in my opinion is too much bling for me. I am thinking maybe off white.

Re: 18" and 20" steel wheels?
Here is a photoshop with a beige off white color let me know what u guys think. IMO i think it completes the look and goes with the truck better than the bling. I may even go a little darker with the color to kinda match the lettering on the doors.

Re: 18" and 20" steel wheels?
They are tight up front I am running tubular upper and lower arms with bags from airbagit.com no inner fender wells and no hood hinges the hood is pinned. The body has been dropped so the firewall is slanted back from pretty much the master cylinder down in the rear the bags are pretty much in place of the coil springs and the floor raised and the bed dropped the wheels are 22x9 with 5.5in bs and they come very close to the fender. I cut out the part where the spare goes and made a sheet metal part thats like a fender for the tire to go up into and covered it with a jack daniels sign.

Re: 18" and 20" steel wheels?
Just got done reading thru this thread,figured I would add my input. I called Adam about ordering a set of these wheels. I asked about sizes wider than 9". He told me that he could check into it for me. After a number of calls and emails back and forth, he was able to get me set up with a set of 18x8 for the front and 18x11 for the rear of my project. Dont know how soon the wider rims will be readily available,was told mine are only 1 of 2 sets that have been done so far.They are actually widened to 11", not a formed hoop.Was an additional cost for this, but well worth it in my opinion. Adam and Pam are great to deal with,they went out of their way to get my wheels built.
I did not have them powder coated,going to paint them the body color. Modified some hub caps to fit,to get the look I want. So they are not painted,and the caps still need to have the body work done to them.The fronts are 18x8 with 4" bs,and the rears are 18x11 with 4" bs. Here is a quick picture to give you the idea of the look I am going for...... |

Re: 18" and 20" steel wheels?
Very cool, that's the exact same thing I want to do except with 20's. Just wasn't sure how to get the 67 only caps to fit. Do you have a build thread?
