h0udini72 · 04-07-2004, 04:08 PM

annnnnnnd three:
oh btw its fer my LWB 72

1972ChevyGuy · 04-07-2004, 04:09 PM

I vote 1. The rounded parts kinda flow with the rounded fenders on our trucks

shortymac83 · 04-07-2004, 04:11 PM

I"m gonna go with either of the first 2, with #1 being my choice. BTW, how big are these? 18"?

**Palf70Step** · 04-07-2004, 04:11 PM

I think I like #2 the best of those. Do theymake them in 8 lug or did you change over to 5 lug hubs?

h0udini72 · 04-07-2004, 04:16 PM

no someone told me that on my truck that it had been switched over to a 1/2 ton suspension and i gotz 5 lug now! so yeah...ima go w/ 20s

*67Fleetsidedream* · 04-07-2004, 04:21 PM

Numero uno. #1

Putter · 04-07-2004, 04:23 PM

Number one gets my nod, with number two close behind. Scrap #3 all together.

mocwon · 04-07-2004, 04:32 PM

#1 then #2. #3 is too ricey looking to me.

boraxman · 04-07-2004, 04:43 PM

Out of those choices I like #1.

Go to www.centerlinewheels.com click wheel deals, pick your state, vehicle....they have some similar looking wheels at great prices and shipping is cheap.

h0udini72 · 04-07-2004, 05:04 PM

should i go w/ 20X10 or 20X8.5 , or 9.5? whats gonna work best when i go to bag it?

Bamm · 04-07-2004, 05:08 PM

I say #1, but i like the American Racing Hopsters better. Check them out........Jerry

RON WOODGEARD · 04-07-2004, 05:09 PM

I like no.1 also, with no.2 taking a tight 2nd. NO on 3...

h0udini72 · 04-07-2004, 05:11 PM

OMFG!!! ya'll wont believe this! i just called up Discount Tire in my state, they didnt have the first one's in stock so they called the manufactor about them! THeY ARE FREAKIN $725 PER RIM!!! i bout fell out my chair! well, prolly wont be gettin those

boraxman · 04-07-2004, 05:12 PM

$725 ouch!

Slammed67 · 04-07-2004, 06:20 PM

That's steep.

Try Billet Specialties

20's won't be cheap anywhere, but these guys have a large selection and high quality wheels.

kevin from oc · 04-07-2004, 07:15 PM

Number one for sure!!

Zumo · 04-07-2004, 07:17 PM

I like #1

Not a big fan of the rivited chrome type like #3

jay-dawg · 04-08-2004, 05:22 AM

#1

chevykid1969 · 04-08-2004, 09:09 AM

#1 or #2 but i think no on #3

MrGoodpliers · 04-08-2004, 10:52 AM

I feel your pain... I drooled over a bunch of those big-inch billet wheels, but just couldn't pull the trigger 'cause of the price. I think wheels are very important to the looks of a vehicle, and I'm pretty picky in my tastes. That being said, I thought that I might regret my choice beacause I may have been "settling". But since I have gotten them, I have been very happy-- They look great, and I still have some money to finish the truck. I got them off of the "Wheel Deals" page of the Centerline website for $169 each! They are 18x8 and 18x9.5.....

67ChevyC10Stepside · 04-08-2004, 01:36 PM
