if they make them to order maybe they don't have to put the logo on?

rogergodding · 12-05-2010, 07:37 PM

I bet they would do them without.....

Spoof · 12-05-2010, 08:52 PM

The logo is a deal breaker for me...otherwise I'm interested

chevy truck crazy · 12-05-2010, 10:48 PM

Hmmm I like them alot.. even strangely I dont mind the name on the spokes, would rather have them not but ya. For the price thats not to bad. Id luv to see a pict of one of your trucks with them on..

Bennett68C10 · 12-06-2010, 09:59 PM

I actually like these alot and don't mind the name on the spokes, i have been looking at them for a couple of months debating on whether i want to drop some serious coin on rims or go with something like these that are alot less pricey. Something i found interesting is that Centerline seems to be using the same wheels but with a Centerline logo where the ShowWheels logo is. Oh yeah and the Centerline versions are more pricey for some reason.

For what it's worth, I asked them if they would do some without the logo and got a "no". "They are pre-cast" or whatever...... I'm thinking that if you make em.... you can do them however you want...... I don't mind the lettering though.... maybe we'll end up with a set... $153 for 18" wheel is not bad...

trkfrk · 12-07-2010, 12:42 AM

They're nice. They look just like a boss 338.........

Spoof · 12-07-2010, 12:49 AM

I don't want to presume to know better than someone in the industry...but IMHO those little logos are going to add up to a lot of lost sales.

I would have bought a set of the 20's when they came out if not for the logo...

muckyp · 12-07-2010, 12:56 AM

I like the look, they just don't make wide enough!

danman987123 · 12-07-2010, 02:00 AM

20x10....i think that is pretty decent wide....i know i wish i had a 20x12....but the 20x10 looks good

67C10BUB · 12-08-2010, 07:08 AM

They were selling these at the Pomona, CA swap meet for $850 for a set of 20's. Not bad.

**special-K** · 12-08-2010, 09:35 AM

They probably put their logo on the spokes so you know they're not the wheels they're copying.Weld Racing does the same thing with a (very) similar wheel.

AusMarty · 12-08-2010, 09:56 AM

They are quite popular over here, don't know where they are made though

Here is a ebay link for 18's

Nobody has these on their truck? I am seriously thinking of getting them, but they only come in one backspacing. I would like to know if they would be OK. They are:
Front 20x8.5" = 5.25" BS
Back 20x10 = 5.5" BS

Also curious about this. What BS have others here run with your wheels (18's and 20's)?

ivanuf2 · 02-01-2011, 08:54 AM

Sorry not leyends, they are MB Old School Wheels

Those look very nice. What backspacing are you running? Did you put spacers on the back or just get a different BS?

I can't find any wheels on their site called "legend series". Is that the brand name?

Those wheels are the chrome MB Old School wheels sold by discount tire direct. I like those wheels but they only come in 20x8.5 and i want to run a 20x10 in the rear.

Bennett68C10 · 02-01-2011, 08:55 AM

Lol i thought they were, very nice wheels your truck looks great

Backspacing is perfect for a lowered 71-72. The rear would be better at 5" BS on a 67-70 'narrow' axle, but could work, Will be very tight on the inside at the wheel tubs.
