What do you think about this wheel in an 18X8 for a 72 swb 1/2 ton Chevy? (picyure didn't post last time)

kroodawg · 10-23-2003, 09:58 PM

I like them, just about what I'm looking for for my truck in the 18
do they have them in our lug pattern and where did you find them.

DanoDMano · 10-23-2003, 10:11 PM

I love them, but wouldnt 18 X 9" be even better??

Bigdog257 · 10-23-2003, 10:16 PM

I like them. I wanted to get something like that for mine but will have to hold off for awhile.

dinnut · 10-24-2003, 12:01 AM

i can photoshop it but not right now. isnt it obvious where he found it. boyd coddingtons website billetwheel.com

BadAssChevy502 · 10-24-2003, 04:23 AM

Go for it I think they are real nice

SEVEND2 · 10-24-2003, 04:32 AM

Look good, personally for me i like Alum rims, solid dish or slotted etc

but i wouldn't turn those down!

72moneypit · 10-24-2003, 10:17 AM

Nice wheels... have that "super shark" look from 30 years ago, but with a modern twist. I was looking for precisely that type of wheel, with the 8-lug 3/4 ton my options are somewhat limited.

**N2TRUX** · 10-24-2003, 10:33 AM

It's an awesome looking wheel. I considered it for my 77 Cheyenne. I couldn't get a decent deal on Boyd billets though. Is that the "cast" version, or billet?

C10Squared · 10-24-2003, 12:25 PM

Yes...but in 20x10 on the rear

*67Fleetsidedream* · 10-24-2003, 12:25 PM

I likem....They kinda have a maltese cross look to them...

mikej71 · 10-24-2003, 12:28 PM

Really cool...

Mike

Rdrdave · 10-24-2003, 12:29 PM

Those are very nice. There is a pic of a 67 babyblue with white top that has them on it somewhere on this forum. I think in the pic area. It has the 18x8 and 20x10s. Looks great. Going to go that route since i like going crazy on turns I need the 18s up front. Keep rollin'

mocwon · 10-24-2003, 02:04 PM

They are from the Cast Series so they are cast. For what I am building cast wheels are fine. The neat thing is that you can buy them from Discount Tire for about $287 ea for the 18 X 8. I have worked a local Discount Tire down to $260 and I am still working on him. They are also available in 20's.

Did I spot you in Truckin this month

It was show coverage for the texas heatwave. I am pretty sure that is your truck. Lookin good.

Pretty good sized pic too.

70short · 10-24-2003, 04:21 PM

SWEEEEEEEEEEEET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lefty&Son · 10-24-2003, 04:24 PM

That's a great price. Can you get the backspace you will need? That was another reason I went with a billet wheel. I needed them to tuck so I could roll with it aired out.

Regardless, you got my vote. I love the look....

Actually that truck has American Racing Torque Thrust's on it....

Thanks for clarifying. My mistake. First things to go when you get old eyesight and brains. Good thing I never had any brains!

I think those are nice looking wheels.

mocwon · 10-24-2003, 08:57 PM

I am told they are available with 5" backspacing which I think will be okay. I want to put an eye on 'em in person before I do anything.
