Re: looking for new rims

They look cool. You will need 4 wheel disc brakes with new rotors to make them look real good. Lot of stuff will show behind the rim, so trick out the brakes. The stock drums will not look that good.

Re: looking for new rims

Re: looking for new rims

Do a search here on Boss 338's. You will find those to be pretty popular.

Re: looking for new rims

What am I reading wrong? The price is $648 apiece! That can't be right. The American Eagle website shows them for $160-$208 apiece...

Re: looking for new rims

at one time there were some issues with these wheels fitting certain rotors. the problem has been taken care of according to their website. but there still may be old stock out there. do a little research and it may save you in the long run

Re: looking for new rims

personally i enjoy the look of factory rally wheels on the 73-87 trucks, however i don't think i've ever seen a 'torque thrust' style wheel such as the coys, or boss', or american racing's look bad on one of these trucks lol. Cool wheel!
