Coolest Wheels for 1970 CST - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Back in Black · 01-24-2005, 02:56 PM

I am in the process of restoring my Black 1970 CST which I purchased when I was 18 yrs old (now 35). It will have a sleeper 383 (appears original on outside), turbo 400, and 3.40 posi (formerly 3.07). The truck will be black as original, all the original chrome trim, with the original black interior w/buckets. I am having a hard time finding some wheels that would look good on my truck. Does anyone have some pictures of similar trucks with some nice looking aftermarket wheels? I am leaning towards aluminum for less weight, but steel would be fine. Not sure I am a fan of the ralley wheels for this truck. If they were orginal, I would consider it, but they are not. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks

Jason

I had two trains of thought when i decided to build one of these truck... i was going to go with a 71 or 72 and do it in black with slots or buy a 67/68 and do a full custom. I ended up going with the 67 but i love the looks of some slots on a black truck.

I like aluminum slots, American racing torque thrusts or torque thrust 2's, or Weld Draglites. Just my $0.02

Black but not full side pic
These are the new style Chevy pickup 454 ss rims.
I do have them full side on a red truck pic if you need

HeavyD · 01-24-2005, 11:51 PM

Solver those slots are awesome! What size are they? 15 x8?

Brainchild · 01-25-2005, 12:19 AM

My vote goes for slots too,sharp truck.

Peregrine · 01-25-2005, 12:26 AM

you want slots, I got slots! If anyone knows what year vette these rims came off of, please tell me, lol

muddpile · 01-25-2005, 01:10 AM

They look like they are off about a 1978 model or somewhere in that region.

Solver, thanks for the wallpaper!

Solver · 01-25-2005, 02:47 AM

Thanks Dion
and yes Heavyd the slots are 15x8's

4x4Poet · 01-25-2005, 02:47 AM

I'm a fan of matching the number of spokes or slots to the number of lug nuts. I like the radial symmetry.

1971 Cheyenne · 01-25-2005, 02:56 AM

Slots, defiantely Slots, especially if you are going for the subtle sleeper look, definately slots or ralleys, and you don't ralleys so whats to decide?

Back in Black · 01-25-2005, 10:15 AM

Your right that is a cool CST. I like your wheels the best so far. How much did they cost. Are they 15" ?

Does anyone know is factory aluminum off a new Chev SUV will fit on a five bolt truck.

Back in Black · 01-25-2005, 02:28 PM

I like those rims. I bet they are hard to find. I wonder if they still sell them at GM.

Any idea whether 15" rims from a newer Chev SUV will fit our trucks? Mine has been converted to 5 bolt

weasel29gm · 01-26-2005, 04:46 PM

Since yours is 5-lug you have alot of options. TT'2 and Crager SS are my favorites.
