New wheels installed with pics (56k warning)

[redz 1970 K5]

Here it is... I really like how it flattened the sidewalls of the BFG's out- they were ballooning with the 17x9s. The handling feels better too. I am happy with them. I think 17" is a great wheel size and am happy I stayed with this size. You will have to give me a break on the pics- it's snowing and cold today.

My next mod is gonna be a 2 1/2" - 3" cowl hood and then from then on, its time to focus on the drivetrain.

looking good onthat burb man

Oh, I didn't post what they where.

They are MB Motoring Gunner 6's, 17x10", 4.65" backspacing -25mm offset 108mm center bore.

I chose these because they are a much cheaper and cast version of the Forged Weld Evo Velocity 6 wheels. Those wheels are around $400-450/ea, whereas I paid just under $200/ea for the 'knockoffs'.

Weld Velocity 6's-



MB motoring Gunner 6's



Pretty reasonable alternative I think.

Lookin good, I have the mb motoring on my 99 burb their the Kane style. Let me know how those b.f.'s work, I had problems with them on my 99 tahoe kept getting a bubble in the side wall and I know it was not my driving either since it bubbled on the spare to, blew the tread right off.
But your burb is looking grear and keep the original paint like that grey & white.

Those really set the Burb off. I know your not asking for opinions, but I wouldn't put a cowl hood on it. I think it would take away from the stock looking body and cause the front to look too bulky.

Just my opinion...:

Thanks guys! Believe it or not, the opinions from the group and from others is a resounding no on the cowl hood. Point noted.

I think the $$$ will be redirected to a nice set of headers and a new y-pipe. I really, really want to get into this truck and have been building a decent arsenal to start building the motor with, but it is my daily driver and with 2 kids and 1 on the way, I can't commit to all out weekend projects and get it done, and I can't have it non running come Monday.

I am really happy with it. Thanks for the kind words!
