Re: Locomotive Lugnut

No Coys
No Mob steels

Tough choice really. i like Delmos but.... Kiddo might need new shoes before you could pay off the wheels.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut

Im gonna take the wheels off the Riv and put'em on the truck again to see how they look on there now that its painted. If I go that direction atleast Vintecs are relatively affordable.

Ive just spent so much money on this truck already Id like to try to catch a break on the wheels, if thats even possible. Lol

Re: Locomotive Lugnut

Talk to Boris (member way2lo2).
He had a set of soft lip Vintecs built with a grey center.
That would make them "one of a kind" for your truck,... and fairly affordable.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut

As mentioned on a previous post.... I think Vintecs with a grey center would definitely be a contrast to what is currently available. Plus they're a timeless classic.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut

I decided to save a little money, so I ordered some 20" Vintecs. They're alot more affordable than the Bonnevilles I was originally going to get.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut

Can't go wrong with Vintecs, they are a beautiful wheel and you already know they look great on there.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut

Looks SWEET.

New wheels?
Or the Riv wheels?
What's the specs on the wheels and tires?
