Nearing completion on my 64 Choptop and I don't like my wheels...sooooooo I want the forum guys to help me out. Maybe a photoshop expert that can put some wheels in the truck.

Options are :
Paint wheels red or same as truck
new polished aluminums
new 5 spoke streeters, torque thrust or the like
your choices


Thanks in advance for the help.

I like ralleys, but they really dont compliment your truck, I also dont think I would paint them red either, some nice chrome TT would work I think.

[porter90]

i agree on the TT's,out of those options. i think chrome steelies or black with chrome rings could look alright too? i just want to say that truck looks killer! do you have a build on it?

I didn't do a build thread but I have been considering it.

thanx

How about one of these two??

[oldtrux]

boyd coddington junkyard dogs would look sick!!!nice truck by the way.quite similar to the 5 spoke on the left.nice brakes are a must though!

Really like your truck. Aren't those 6 lug wheels you currently have or do my eyes deceive me?

When you say "new polished aluminum" are polished aluminum slots in your option list?

Yup 6 lugs they are.
Here's the polished wheels I commented on.

Wish I could find slots like yours!!!!!!!!

Don't let the 6 lugs limit your options, I bought new front disc brake rotors in 5 x 5 only cost 32.00 ea, had the rear axle hubs drilled out, added new 5x5 brake drums, only cost about $200.00. Kieth

First off, DON'T HIT ME!!! Can you go into more depth on this "drilling of the axles" thing for me? I have found several small-bolt Chevy wheels that i could actually afford, but i have the big-bolt pattern 5. And which front rotors should i be looking for to go small chevy up front? Sorry for all the questions, but i have no idea how to do any of this and don't want to destroy my truck. Thanks.

I think black steelies with chrome rings and baby moons would look nice.

Do you think painting the rallyes black and adding centers and rings would work??

Thanks for your opinion

I wouldn't see why not. Kinda a black slotted old school hot rod look with some shine!

I think the ralleys with police style caps would work. Eight inch on front and tens on the rear. Pick a color but definately not red. I'm kind of partial to the ralleys. Unless you want to be different like everybody else stay away from the Tork Thrusts.

[blackmopar]

i think PCing your rims black with just chrome ctr caps would work really well and be your cheapest option probably.

Your truck, chopped with that Gold, screams K-ustom though! A set of chrome steelies would fit the bill or even a set of supremes.

or how about these bad boys?

Yea the paint really dictates a chrome wheel doesn't it.
I love rallyes but they just don't seem to cut it.

Thanx

[Mechanic77]

Just my opinion....but your truck looks like it needs a set of simple ole chrome smoothies, such as....

[srziemkowski]

I think your wheels painted body color with a copo type cap only like the camao or chevelle would killer and tough.

first: put the chrome trim rings on the wheels---see how you like that...

2nd put the small hubcap on the wheel-----see if you like that

3..paint the wheels to match your truck then put the trim rings and caps on it, I think it would look great. Kieth


Or put a set of cragars on it like mine ha ha

One thing about the rallyes with trim rings and caps, the silver does not show up very much. JMO
