Alright fellas' I have been cruising the web and this site all evening. I have an 82 short wide that I need to get some wheels for I need some ideas I like the stand bys...cragar ss and torque thrusts.....but is there anything else out there....I was looking at maybe an 18 to 20 inch wheel.....any suggestions. Examples.......pictures of what wheels your running....I know it comes down to what I like but I want to make sure I explore every avenue before I invest

One of the other members hipped me to these. I like the gunmetal; they are $131 for an 18". Chrome only $178. They are the "old school" wheels from MB Wheels. I priced them through discount tire. They are cheaper than Coys and TT II's. I bought MB Wheels for my wife's truck and they are nice.

Coy's are real popular, but I'm old school towards wheels Cragars s/s and star wheel " what's on my truck", center line auto drag, and factory 71-87 truck rally's and corvette rally's and for tire sizes no bigger than 235/70/15 in front and no smaller than 275/60/15 in back
