well due to the PO melting the front springs, the camber was way off, and i had just blew 450 on new tires and didnt want to ruin them, so i had some old rallies with road huggers in the back, just painted em red, bolted on some new center cabs, skinny trim rings, and called it a day, i am also looking for some dif rings, they are skinny, and dont come all the way out, they just kinda sit inside the lip, does anyone have any info on these? i will try to get a pic later if possible, for now, heres mine

Dang! I love the look on your truck. Work very well.

that looks sick

Scootin 81 C20 · 11-28-2009, 12:41 AM

I like that look. Are you looking for the fatter, deeper trim rings or skinnier ones? If you want the fat ones, I have 3 that came off a Chevy truck or 'burban.

got a few daytime pictures, i am not very satisfied with the center caps, imt hinking about either some bullet caps, or wheel vintiques new spider caps for 5x5, and some hot rod rings depending on the look after the center cap change, i rlly want some baby moons but i dont think anyone makes something that will fit these truck wheels, anways,enjoy!

that color really pops! I wouldn't cover up too much more of those rims. that color looks great with the beauty rings and caps.

spaseghost · 11-29-2009, 11:27 AM

take that pinstripe from the fender all the way back. that would look freakin sweet. still love your truck though, good job man.
