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....

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics

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.

What is the centred bore on these wheels. Stock axles?

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics

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.

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.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics

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.

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics

15x7 front and 15x8 rear truck rallys. Not sure about backspace. Tires are 215/75-15 on front and 235/75-15 on rear. Tires are too narrow on both ends in my opinion. Hoping to find a set of aluminum slots to put on it soon.
Oh and the truck has been lowered by someone else by heating tje coils. Ill be putting new stock springs on this weekend hopefully.
