I am probably just going to go the same size all around. Makes it easier to rotate.

**joedoh** · 08-07-2015, 10:12 PM

final change, for me anyway, 15x6 215/70 and 15x7 235/75 steelies with buick caps

the new owner ordered 15x8 and 15x10 wheel vintiques and coker wide whites.

**LostMy65** · 08-13-2015, 05:06 PM

I've always been one to favor the look of deep dish wheels and wide tires, but I'm really liking these:
(probably a lot less expensive too)

trying to decide if i like the wood fencing

par4tom · 08-13-2015, 07:33 PM

I think it looks cool! Leave it on for awhile, if you get tired of it, then take it off.

**LostMy65** · 08-13-2015, 09:29 PM

I like it, too.

rudyyloverboiii · 08-14-2015, 12:28 PM

I third that. Will b doing it to my 64.
Someone should start a thread. Or is there one already?

Running some Detroit steel wheels, 20x8 front w/ 245/35r20 and 20x9 rear w/ 255/35r20. Both front and rear rims have 4.5" backspace.

**PGSigns** · 10-16-2015, 01:53 PM

I vote for the teal also. leave the trim rings off at first and see what it looks like and if you think there is to much green put them back on. Or have a pinstriper put a duel white pinstripe on the wheels to tie them in.

Fine you guys have me convinced! I found a plasti-dip that looks really close to it, I think I'll put that on at least two wheels just to see how it looks, then look into getting them paint matched. Hopefully updated pics coming soon....

Grizz1963 · 02-04-2016, 07:32 PM

Started out like this.

Currently on while I work on the truck.

Roll around wheels painted red yesterday made me grin too.

And the future......

Not yet decided if it will be black walls or skinny white walls.

scoot_mcgrute · 02-24-2016, 01:21 PM

15x8 rallys with 235/75-15s. Stock height for now but I have some 2-3 drop springs to go in soon

jturner18 · 11-20-2015, 10:39 PM

These

This may be a stupid question but I don't know that I've ever had hubcaps on my vehicles. Will these rims accept hub caps? If so what kind? I don't know if they are original, my spare is the old split rim type. When I bought the truck it had 3 out of 4 beauty rings so I removed them & have since painted my wheels when I sprayed the truck.

howdy. i'm pretty sure you've got the same wheels as I have on my 1966 C20. Mine had the original "dog bowl" hubcaps when I bought it. I wasn't a fan at all, so took them off.

Started with slotted aluminum mags.

Recently switched to steelies.

Thinking about really polishing mags this Summer to see how truck looks with new lettering and other upgrades.
