New Wheels and Recycled Tires!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Many thanks to the boardmember that traded two wheels with me so we could both have a matching set of four (4). I finally got them mounted with a set of lightly used tires from craigslist.

Looks good to me!!

I have 4 33 12.5 16.5 that are in decent shape if you need anymore tires...free =)

That thing is looking burly with those big ol mags and tires.

stllookn · 05-20-2008, 10:48 PM

If you had mentioned that this weekend I would have been over to your place in a second...LOL! I'm interested. I have two more sets of wheels that need "streetable" tires. I will buy one new set of tires for the long trips...just not sure which wheels they will go on.

Now that is an embarassing question...LOL! I keep hoping the paint fairies are going to take care of it but they must be on a work slow-down. I have not gotten my seats done yet or my big block put together. The list keeps getting longer so I have to relish in these other small victories. Notice that left front fender? I have a perfectly good one that I could put on there...but I should be working on the big block paint job...LOL!

Thanks for the encouragement...time to go out and fix the tractor so I can mow the pasture!

**special-K** · 05-21-2008, 04:27 AM

You know I love those slots.Looking good on there.

red71cheyenne · 05-22-2008, 03:03 AM

Wheeeewwww! Those are purty! Wish mine shined like that. Still haven't gotten all 20 years of grime off of them though. Nice look Mike!

SWILL · 06-04-2008, 10:12 AM

Very cool wheels. I have found a set of wheels like these, they are advertised as 16.5 x 9.75. They are an 8 lug wheel, and he says they will fit just about any 3/4 ton or 1 ton. I have a 72 c20, will these fit, or is there some measurements I need to make. Couple other questions, what size tire would I use ? I really like the look of stllookn's combo, if you could, what size tire is that ? One other thing, is the wheels were sandblasted, so they look kind of dull ? Can they be repolished, or chromed or something ? Thanks for any input !
