layinrocker65 · 06-29-2007, 12:55 AM

well i finally bit the bullet and ordered some new wheels for my truck. Got 22" centerline smoothies.

ordering the disc brake conversion with drop spindles tomorrow so I can lay these out with out a problem.
Going to order the conversion from pauls GMC because they seem to have the cheapest price. If any one responds
to this before tomorrow afternoon, do you know where I can get a cheaper drop spindle/ disc conversion.
If not no problem.

1LoC10 · 07-18-2007, 06:48 PM

sweet

layinrocker65 · 07-18-2007, 08:01 PM

god damn it! I opened the boxes and and the polish had some blemishes in it so I called centerline and they are going to send me a new set of wheels. Will post some pics of the wheels in alittle bit.

layinrocker65 · 07-18-2007, 09:10 PM

layinrocker65 · 07-19-2007, 12:49 AM

new news. Got two of the wheel polished out so only two need to get replaced. Then I was all happy until I went to go see what they looked like on the truck. Pulled the old 22 off and put the new smoothie on (just rim). Well should I say tried to put the smoothie on. It would not go on. I finally took out the center cap from the wheel and it went on. The stupid people at centerline assured me that the wheel would fit but they were wrong. Now I will have to machine down the rotors for the cap to fit over. I will see what centerline says about it tomorrow.

gostranger · 07-19-2007, 06:17 AM

all i have to say is that thing is sick!! i cant wait to see more pics!! of your progress nice job!!!

Well I was going to machine my rotors down to make them fit. Since the only other smoothies I know of are intros that are $3600. I talked to centerline today and they said that they will take them back and refund me all my money. I guess I am on the look out for other wheels now. Im not mad really that they didnt fit right now. The guys I talked to at centerline were very nice. I think I will just go back to looking for a simple 5 spoke like I was looking for before I found the smoothies. but i guess i will sleep on it and decide this weekend.

Frizzle Fry · 07-20-2007, 01:37 PM

Some pretty good prices here

layinrocker65 · 07-20-2007, 01:57 PM

If you mean that there are 22" smoothies on that site I cant find them.
