Re: Look What I got today
Why couldn't GM have made a spare like that so we wouldn't have to use adapters? I like the look of those wheels.

I saw a guy with the same rims who welded the holes closed and metal finished them. Then put a bullet head hubcap on it. Really looked nice.

GRIMSS is running the same rims, he filled the holes to make them look like the classic solid wheels though. Awesome look.

I thought I had seen someone with 6-lug spare tire rims on a truck. Anyone know what donor may have 6ers?
