Need opinions on what wheels to buy. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

REPO1 · 10-22-2004, 08:53 PM

I have been looking at wheels lately for my '70 Chevy shortbox. I am including the 4 choices I am looking at. I am wanting 20" to go along with my airbag suspension. (Left to right ACF75, 211, 312, 308)

67chev · 10-22-2004, 09:10 PM

312's....that is what I am going with also...only in 6-lug (311's). Good choice!

john@thepier · 10-22-2004, 09:13 PM

211 is my choice it will give that old truck a nice hotrod look JOHN

**Canadian694x4** · 10-22-2004, 09:14 PM

I picked 312's but it's hard to picture it without a pic of what your '70 looks like...(hint, hint)

My truck is in 1000 pieces right now. So the only pics I have are of the paited frame.

I do have a picture of how the truck will look, right down to the slammed stance and woodgrain trim.

My pic is the 312's - Are you ordering online and if so from what website?

Dave Reed · 10-22-2004, 11:21 PM

1st pic is my choice. How much are these so I can start saving up?

Jimbotronics · 10-22-2004, 11:32 PM

Not taking away from Rep01's post but what do guys think of this style?

REPO1 · 10-23-2004, 12:42 AM

The Boss rims are not that much actually. I am buying them locally from a tire shop in town.

djracer · 10-23-2004, 01:52 AM

I love the torq thrust look but they are getting like camaro's and nova's everybody's got one.

Brainchild · 10-23-2004, 02:28 AM

I like the first ones,look nice,and they aren't on 1/3 of the vehicles in the US.
