quick pic after a bath today... anyone looking for a nice set of 15" rims check the parts board, selling my old wheels cheap with tires...

Pop's72 · 03-01-2005, 03:43 AM

That looks sweet!!!

ACES · 03-01-2005, 03:43 AM

Those wheels look sweet on your truck.

69 Short Fleet · 03-01-2005, 03:48 AM

Sharp! Where did you get your mirrors? Are those a special kind of peep, or are they the regular type that most guys have only mounted in a different location closer to the bottom of the vent window? Do they clear the A-arms ok? Thanks

5150 · 03-01-2005, 06:28 AM

Those are pretty sweet. What size are they and the tires?

NPilot1975 · 03-01-2005, 10:18 AM

Are those Camaro seats or C5 seats? Do you have any interior pix? I am planning on running C5 seats in my new project. Thanx

GreyHoundSteve · 03-01-2005, 10:24 AM

Those look good. Are you still sitting on the 4/6 drop? I thought you were going with some 18's?

silvertonguedevil · 03-01-2005, 10:32 AM

I need to check this thing out in person. Time & place?

Bowtiefreak · 03-01-2005, 11:46 AM

Looks awesome, What brand are they?

67ChevyC10Stepside · 03-01-2005, 12:14 PM

sorry but i think it looked 100 times better before.....these wheels are flashy and the rest of the truck isnt. just my opinion though so dont yell at me

greasemonkey · 03-01-2005, 12:23 PM

I like it. The stance is awesome.

**Canadian694x4** · 03-01-2005, 01:04 PM

That Looks Sweet! Wheels Look Great!

67ChevyRedneck · 03-01-2005, 01:12 PM

I usually don't like big rims, but that just looks sweet. They go perfect with the drop. Beautiful truck

That truck looks pretty decent to me. It's nicer than my 68 & prob as nice as my 74 which are both drivers. Do you consider any polished wheel flashy or just anything larger than 15" wheels flashy?

FirstGen · 03-01-2005, 01:36 PM

Hey guys,
Thanks for the compliments. I like the bigger wheels personally. The new wheels are 18x8 fronts and 18x9.5 rears. Running a 255/45/18 front and a 305/45/18 nitto drag radial rear. Still have the 4/6 springs in. As soon as I can decide on which brand bags I want these springs will be out.

Mirrors are some I hunted down on ebay for a while. Called a "bent arm peep mirror". Seats are from an early 1990's porsche. Super comfortable and light.

-67ChevyC10Stepside, my old wheels are for sale if you really like em

67ChevyC10Stepside · 03-01-2005, 01:36 PM

no...i love the truck...it's inspiration for mine...i just think they look out of place.....there's no trim...painted bezels and painted grill trim etc....and then you got these wheels like BAM. im in no way putting the truck down....i think it is awesome...every picture ive seen of it is saved in a file on my comp....i just think the wheels are out of place.

twobit · 03-01-2005, 01:47 PM

Sweet!!!!

MandarinSixSeven · 03-01-2005, 02:09 PM

Oh my god, that is insanely nice! Those have the PERFECT offset and backspacing. do you know what the specs on backspacing and offset are?

FirstGen · 03-01-2005, 02:21 PM

fronts are 14mm offset rears are 5.5 BS

Bowtiefreak · 03-01-2005, 02:32 PM

What brand are they or series are they?
Thanks
