Re: military rims ?

Re: military rims ?

I always remember the army blazers having wide steel wheels, but never thought they were that wide.
Regardless of what they are, if they have the flat green paint, do not sand the paint off, the CARC paint is very bad stuff if you inhale the dust.

There is a pic of a CUCV Blazer in the "plow truck owner" thread in General Discussion.
