Nice! Funny i mounted a set of the exact same wheels yesterday at shop.

chevytruckluver · 11-25-2010, 10:09 AM

What, you didnt order the rear inners?

....those are nice looking wheels

swamp rat · 11-25-2010, 11:46 AM

I want to see them mounted on the truck when you can.

tanman722001 · 11-25-2010, 12:16 PM

Santa I want a set lol

eagleuh1 · 11-25-2010, 01:04 PM

Whats a set of those run? Where to order? Thanks. Look great.

BLAZERMAN · 11-25-2010, 09:48 PM

What size are they?

Jacfourteen · 11-26-2010, 01:21 AM

Sounds like Christmas came early! You better post a pic when you get them on.

chevy72pu · 11-26-2010, 09:58 PM

It will be a little longer before I get them on. They forgot to send the center caps for the front ones.

I ordered them at the Moultrie swap meet last Sat. www.custom-performance-products.com $625.00 four wheels, centers, chrome lugnuts and washers and chrome valve stems. Free shipping. May have been a show special. They are 16 X 6.

Order the inner rear.

Will definitely post up pics when I get them on.

Thanks guys.

Jacfourteen · 11-27-2010, 12:03 AM

Sounds like a great price. Can't wait to see when you get them mounted up.

eagleuh1 · 11-27-2010, 09:08 AM

Anyone know what it would take to turn a 3/4 ton with Dana 60 and regular front hubs to a dually? I like these wheels.

chevy72pu · 04-16-2011, 09:33 PM

Finally getting around to posting "after" pictures. It took a while get them mounted. Original studs were 1/2", new wheels required 9/16". Since the wheels are a different thickness I had to find longer studs that would still fit between the brake drum and hub on the front. Then machine shop drilled out the holes. Put the studs through and used an old lugnut and impact wrench to pull them though. Rears were not as hard (if you don't count pulling the axles out and draining and cleaning the pumpkin), until I started putting the studs in and the machine shop had drilled to holes a tad too small. Saturday afternoon, so I used a grinder to enlarge them. Finally got it all back together. Included on pic with the simulators for a before and after comparison.

bucketObolts · 04-16-2011, 09:52 PM
