Heres mine in the works 16x6.5 factory wheels 265/75s and 16.5x10 wagons just to see what the 33s would look like

Just picked up a set for my 69..need to get them sandblasted, painted or powder coated and new rubber..planing on 235/75/15.

dcasalena · 10-25-2011, 12:35 PM

just put new shoes on yesterday, and found some caps and rings that cleaned up real nice for my driver. Needed a lot of degreaser on the wheels, and a little chrome polish on the caps and rings. New lug nuts too.
By the way did you know with enough scrubbing you can get the matte finish off the flat part of these hub caps? Probably not the repop plastic ones, but the metal originals will polish up nice with some muscle and chrome polish.

mtm_seven · 02-06-2012, 12:30 AM

Caprice Steelies with newer centers and also orig hubcaps

295 rear, 245 front

I think they look OK but I'd rather them both be flush with the body rather than sucked in....

love all the steelies! anyone know how big the centerbore is on the wheel this post http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=359.

I don't know how to have the image carry along with the quote.

webfoot · 10-25-2011, 12:57 PM

Just got these blasted and painted, got a real nice set of the later style hubcaps and will (hopefully) soon be getting a set of 235/85/16s mounted on them

**special-K** · 01-10-2012, 06:20 AM

It's funny now that most vehicles come with styled alloy wheels people are considering rallye wheels steelies. HUbcaps are a thing of the past and the only wheel covers come on el cheapo models and they are plastic crap. Wheels used to be so simple.

My new wheels.

cris well · 01-15-2012, 10:40 AM

AustinScott--

I was wondering what those would look like on our trucks.

I thought about using those wheels and rigging up a set of the 88-98 chrome plastic caps on them.

I'd get the yellow off them--solid black or maybe charcoal.

Thanks. Wheels are 16X8 and tires are LT265/75R16. I bought 285's and they rubbed up front and I didn't want to lift the truck.
