What a Difference New Wheels Make!

I just got some new wheels mounted on my 85 Chevy a few weeks ago. I got it all shined up yesterday so I thought I would post some pics.

I ended up going with an Ultra wheel. I am very pleased with the end result, especially for the price. I got all four of them, with new lugnuts, mounted, balanced, everything for a little less than $600.

Anyway, click on the link below then go to the "85 Custom Delux After Paint album." The first 10 or 11 pics are with the old Rally wheels, and the last few are with the new wheels.

I got it at Chevy Duty. It was around $250-$300 if I remember right.

Wheels look good on there. Did you pick them up locally or did you order them from somewhere?

I picked them up locally, mainly because I got the shop that I ordered them from to throw in mounting and balancing. They are available online though. Just do a search on Ultra wheels.

Re: What a Difference New Wheels Make!

Nice.

Still like the old ralley wheels though. Plan on putting some on the old truck after I get all the bodywork done. It is nice but not tops on my list of priorities.

Will have to think about those rims though, they do a nice job on the truck.
