96 Impala SS wheels on 73-87 trucks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

87chevy.com · 10-30-2007, 09:52 PM

Im going page by page on one of the picture threads and i cant find any (except for a fuzzy white one from 20 ft away).
if you have these on your truck or have pictures could you post them. ive seen some in person years ago after i sold my 1st 87, and now that i have a 2nd 87, i think i want those wheels.

17" fit pretty good with a 60 series tires, and i like 5 spoke designs.. so we have a candidate.

I had a set on mine for a while, then a few other guys around here bought them after seeing them on my truck. So I sold mine and put the ralleye's back on mine.

bigblock73 · 10-31-2007, 06:37 AM

I visitor of 73-87.com just sent these to me of his truck, haven't had time to add his truck to the readers rides section...so here you go for now.

poolboy65-ls1 · 10-31-2007, 09:30 AM

Those don't look that bad.

454HO · 10-31-2007, 10:49 AM

I have a set for my truck, but not sure if I use them.

Pyrotechnic · 10-31-2007, 01:53 PM

For some reason I like those better without the center caps on these trucks.

454HO · 10-31-2007, 04:28 PM

It's not hard to charge the Impala logo out for something else if you like the raised style cap. OR, there is a smooth faced cap with a Chevy bowtie logo on it that fits this wheel.

Hopefully these images (lifted from impalasuperstore.com) come thru...

Stock cap with leaping impala

Smooth cap with bowtie logo

Jonboy · 10-31-2007, 07:03 PM

I think the smooth cap is off of a 98-up (or so) S-10 with the ZQ8 suspension.

87 STEPPER · 10-31-2007, 08:42 PM

Here's a few shots of my '87 with them i didn't like the look and it sat wayyyyyy! too high with a 3/4 drop i aslo didn't like how it handled with them either.

Thats JMO.
