Put the Steelies on Today
Finally got around to putting the steelies on the 70 today. I am getting used to the look.

Re: Put the Steelies on Today
On a little side note, I think the Christmas wreath in the background could use some water

Re: Put the Steelies on Today
When I put those white ones on the blue 68 stepper, I swear the guy at the tire store had been diggin coal or something. His hand prints were all over them. That's the only thing not-so-good about the white wheels. Maybe powdercoat is different, I just used Duplicolor cans.

Re: Put the Steelies on Today
Thanks guys. I would have preferred it if they were 4" backspace instead of 3" as they increased the track width by 2".
Shawno72 - that isn't a Christmas wreath- that is a grape vine wreath that my wife assures me is a year- round decoration on the old barn. Who am I to argue. It is sagging in sympathy with the barn. Rochlow - they are 15 X 8 with 3" backspace. Only work on 70 and below (drum brakes) as they hit the calipers on disc brakes. Agent 915 - that light was one of my Carlisle "must haves" a few years ago. Then I had to get an electronic controller and mount it. Rarely turn it on now. the grandsons like to see it when they are riding their bikes.

Those 76-91 caps are pretty easy to find...and still reasonable.

Re: Put the Steelies on Today
Looks great!
Powder coating these wheels is the way to go IMO. The clean up is sooo easy.

Re: Put the Steelies on Today
Thanks all. The caps were the later model (yellow) and I picked them up at Spring Carlisle. They aren't perfect but will do for now. I painted the rings and bowtie to make them look year correct.
FLDBRED - stock height 31 X10.50 X 15's Vectorit - I had them blasted and then I just primed and painted them. Powdercoating would have been better. Tim - I like the look - just the backspace that I wasn't sure I liked.
