Talking New wheels I Scored with pictures

I got some 80's style wheels through some horse trading but I can't seem to find anyone who carried them or the design name. They are progressive brand wheels 15x8 1/2 5 on 5 lug. Came off of a 78 chevy blazer.

Re: New wheels I Scored

These are my Progressive rims that I bought new when I bought my truck in 83, Progressives were pretty popular in the early 80's, 15x9's

Re: New wheels I Scored

You need to invest in a Mothers "Powerball" and see if you can bring those babies back to life. If they aren't clear coated they should shine right up...

Re: New wheels I Scored

I actually have a power ball to clean them up. I plan on putting them on my truck. Just looking for the right wheel and tire combo. Thanks for the replies guys.

Re: New wheels I Scored

She was on her way out the door to go shopping plus I just got back from the Air Force NCO academy which was a month long. So I have at least a week's grace period before I get into trouble again. Seriously
