It's time I started looking for wheels for my almost finished '72 C10..
I sure would appreciate seeing some of the ones yall chose..I tried "searching" but pulled up everything with the name "wheel"..
I have a '88 C1500 Silverado with 15" American Racing Torque Thrust D that I love but want something different for the 72.
Thanks!

I'm not sure where it went, but ther used to be a wheel/tire fitment thread here. Hoopefully someone knows where it is and can post a link to it.

As for my truck, I went simple with 17" AR TTII's.

I'm rolling 20" Billet Specialties Roulette's...

Here are a couple threads with some more wheel pics in them...

Not mine, but one of my favorite all-time tire/wheel combo's. Of course it only works on a lowered ride. Trying to pimp this setup @ stock height would look goofy IMHO.

I don't want to highjack a thread but I want some info.

I haven't been able to get these wheels out of my head since I saw them on here. It took me a couple hours to figure out which thread I saw them in.

Do you have any idea whose truck this is?!? I would like to ask him a few questions about the combination.

**CC69Rat** · 01-12-2012, 05:23 PM

What color / shade of blue? Is there a theme to the truck? Do you want gray / black / polished / chrome ? We'll find you something !

Budget in mind?

I think Al may have given $100 bucks a wheel or so for his..

..see 68StepBed's truck in post 6 for the color "to be"/ not painted yet..
far as the theme? really don't know what your asking

nothing's being changed on the exterior except the wheels and tires:15" to 17"(17" is tall as I will go)..it's a 72 C10 short bed totally restored..well it was lowered only about 2"..
I'm thinking polished or chrome..but may change my mind..just have to keep looking..
Thanks Rat

Take your time on wheel choice. One of my regrets so far was rushing to get wheels.

I made the same mistake and sold my $2200 setup for $500. OUCH.

Tmwoodall · 01-15-2012, 02:13 PM

The new setup, fronts only for now. These guys were cheap compared to most.
