Love the white rims. Are they 15x6 or 15x8 wide. If they are15x8 where did you have them widened?

They are 15x8 inch. That is the way they came stock. You see them alot on the military Blazers.

I was able to get two from another board member and then I found 2 NOS ones on ebay. They are kind or spendy and rare but I was able to put a set together in about 3 weeks ( I got lucky!) after starting my search.

Looking GREAT!!! the new tires and wheels/caps REALLY make it!!!

jonesky2 · 06-27-2011, 12:01 AM

fantastic!! hows the clearance with 33's? do you have any lift or is it stock?

BBrendal · 07-15-2011, 02:48 AM

Well here is where Im at with my Blazer. Put the wheels and tires on, front grill and bumper back on, and getting the trans rebuilt next week. Still have to put the lower trim back on and do the interior but it is at least road worthy now.

**Shock_Me** · 07-15-2011, 11:35 AM

Wow I love the look of your Blazer! Well done!

VA72C10 · 07-15-2011, 11:51 AM

Awesome!!!!

OLD K5 · 07-15-2011, 11:27 PM

Man that is just not fair. That blazer looks Amazing. Solid work.

**Tom Vogel** · 07-16-2011, 09:18 AM

PERfect!

el3m3nt3l · 07-16-2011, 01:38 PM

Looks great.

imdarren · 07-20-2011, 01:48 PM

That is one sweet Blazer!
The only problem I would have if I were you, is if it looks better with or without the trim. Sure looks clean without. Would look great with it too.
Can't decide . . . .

I do like those wheels. I'm looking for a set for myself. What are they called so I know what to look for? They're not just rallyes are they?

Where did you find the center caps? I've had no luck finding a set for 4x4 (openings in front caps for locking hubs).
