Re: billet wheels

I like the superstars, I think they would look cool with the part between the spokes painted black like Chevelle SS wheels, Just the flat spots.

Now I happen to disagree...

Re: billet wheels

I'm a huge fan of the superstar wheel. If you are going to drive it, id go with the 10s simply because of tire cost...

Re: billet wheels

yeah im in the tire industry so cost isnt to big of a deal, the vintecs were a top choice of mine but Billet Specialties can not build them in a 24" so i had to look else where.....Mr Mitch Henderson has leaned me toward the Vinspeed, ill end up with going with the 10 so the lip doesnt take over the wheel(nice and clean look) They actually will have a sandcasted and painted center in an off white hue and satin cleared when done. just a tough choice.....the superstar is nice and they can to them with oval inserts too but its a little bulky for me. Im just looking for the cleanest possible wheel I can get that fits the trucks profile and sublteness when done.

Re: billet wheels

so whats everyones opinion on the cleanest for that body style 68 trim, 22/24 set up>???? forget the vinspeeds and the others....what would be the baddest thing you can see on that truck no expensese spared on them. lets see what everyone has a taste for.....I know what the pros say but I want/need to know what the group says too.
thanks
