Getting new wheels and tires on today! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

messed up c-10 · 11-04-2002, 06:17 PM

Well I was gonna put my new wheels on this week, but now it has to be today because when I came back to school from lunch today I was informed that I was driving on the rim of my left front wheel.

So I call my mom after school and have her bring up one of the new wheels and I put it on after school. So I'm going to get them all spin balanced and put on today. I'll try to post a pic today if there is still enough light.

It will fill back in once I get some taller rubber on it. I would rather not drop it because I still might move to Alaska and I dont want to turn my truck into a snow plow.

Looks like they got washed to me.

look very nice. I kinda miss my rally wheels.

messed up c-10 · 11-05-2002, 01:20 PM

For some reason I always decide to that pics right after I've been through a crap load of mud. I might wash it today and take some more pics. Its not gonna rain today so I should be able to get alot done.

messed up c-10 · 11-06-2002, 12:13 AM

Well I got it washed. It took a long time to get off the layers of dirt off, but it was to dark to get some clean pics. What do you guys think the best wax to use is? All I can get ahold of is the stuff down at the dollar store so I cant get the high price stuff. After its buffed I just need to keep in clean til Sat.

79BIG10 · 11-06-2002, 01:28 AM

Looks much better

70sChevys · 11-06-2002, 10:27 AM

Very nice MUC10! I like rally wheels and white lettered tires....they look good together.

Wax, what's that? LOL I don't think rust takes wax very well. Guess I'll just have to wait until all the rust is gone.
