Help me on my wheel selection!... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I think I have broken it down to either these two wheels...

What do you guys think.

Of course they are both from the Cast collection of Boyd Coddington wheels.

Contemplating on going 20x8 in the front and 20x10 in the rear.

SweetandLong68 · 05-29-2004, 11:34 PM

they will be going on my 71 which will have a 68 front clip on it soon along with a 4/6 drop from ECE.

#1 and here's some more damn characters!

gr8scott51 · 05-30-2004, 12:04 AM

First one is 6 lug, second is five. Which do you need?

dinnut · 05-30-2004, 12:13 AM

both can be had in 5 and 6 lug. i vote for the magneato

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 05-30-2004, 12:21 AM

Go with the magneto....

saulgoode · 05-30-2004, 12:40 AM

magneato sounds cooler and looks cooler

pritch · 05-30-2004, 12:59 AM

I wonder how the magneto would look with six holes. It's so symetrical with the five spokes and five holes. I think I wold go with the other.

useRc10 · 05-30-2004, 01:01 AM

yup...#2 magneato

SweetandLong68 · 05-30-2004, 01:19 AM

Sweet... Thanks for all the replys guys.

Of course like "dinnut" said both can be had in either 5 lug or 6 lug.

I was leaning towards the Magneatos myself but thought I would ask you guys first.

I wonder if you can get the Magneatos with a nice deep offset to have that nice chrome lip. Maybe a 3" offset in the front and a 4" in the rear. What you guys think?

thanks again
CHRIS

I agree, but with your avatar saulgoode I'm afraid to not agree.
