Keeping up with the Jones!
I would like to give my 72' a little make over probably in the next 3 months by changing the wheels, I really like the look of " Original 71's " with the Intro's, but I'm leaning towards the Intro "Vista" rim, Is anybody running Vistas on a 67-72 short fleet in a 20' or 22' series? And if so can you post some photos? Thanks in advance.

Re: Keeping up with the Jones!
I think its the other way around, the Jones struggle to keep up with you

Re: Keeping up with the Jones!
The one thing I'd recommend would be either a stock wheel or a matching wheel to the rims when you get them.

Re: Keeping up with the Jones!
Nothing a'tall wrong with that truck! One of my favorites on the site in fact. Intros would be killer on there too though. I just ordered a set of Billet Specialties for my truck and I'm planning to get the steering wheel to match or in your case I might look at a blue Corvette three spoke wheel for it (?) .. just a thought. Even a rosewood wheel off a 69 Camaro would be nice with the wood in the door panels.

Re: Keeping up with the Jones!
I don't know Rene.....that thing is about as perfect as it gets.....you really think you can improve it?!?!?
I love 5 spokes, but I understand wanting to change it up a bit.

Re: Keeping up with the Jones!
Thank you very much for that compliment buddy. coming from you with all those beautiful trucks really means alot. Now back to the topic, if you really want to change it i would go with 20 and 22 combo, IMO. but it does look great as is also. Good luck on your choice and cant wait for pictures.
