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.

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
