I bought a set for my 69 camaro. Was thinking about some for my 70 GMC Custom. What do you think?

**N2TRUX** · 01-29-2010, 12:05 PM

I like them. Calssic look at a fair price. Too bad they only offer the 20's in a an 8.5

nuke1 · 01-29-2010, 02:08 PM

jdry68step · 01-29-2010, 02:40 PM

68Stepbed · 01-29-2010, 04:05 PM

OOOOOHH!!! Me likey in Chrome too!!

DZL1 · 01-29-2010, 04:11 PM

Same wheels that I was thinking about buying. These or the Boss 338's. Wondering if these have the same issues the 338's have.

I like those & Yes, they are fair priced too.

rogergodding · 02-01-2010, 05:54 PM

What size tires are you planning on?

clos69 · 02-01-2010, 06:05 PM

I think 18's would look good on one of our trucks. 2" front and 3" lowered in the back. I like the chrome ones the best. Discount tire will run specials on rim tire combo and bet my local tire guy $250 on my package for my Camaro. Shipping was free.

nastyc10 · 02-02-2010, 12:39 PM

Those are nice wheels! 18's will look good.

culp7 · 02-02-2010, 12:59 PM

Post pics when you get em on the beast

Smoke_Dog · 02-03-2010, 01:55 PM

Like them!

love my 72 · 02-03-2010, 06:42 PM

I can dig this but i don't think the company was thinking about our trucks when they tooled up for production (20X8.5 is not the first choice for the rear of our trucks) leaves me wondering

if there are any fitment issues on the 1.25 rotor hub

19723DR · 02-03-2010, 08:28 PM

I've got Old School's on my 71 Cheyenne. No fitment problems with the hub. I do wish they made a 20/10.

Front 18/8 245/45/18
Rear 20/8.5 275/45/20

love my 72 · 02-03-2010, 08:50 PM

^^ Very nice, Me like!!!!

Is it safe to assume that your truck is running 1.25 rotors?

19723DR · 02-03-2010, 09:30 PM

I think they are, but I am working out of town so I can't go out and check. I'll look in to that when I get back Sat.

RBC67 · 02-03-2010, 10:15 PM

Good choice! They look good on the old trucks.

ready2go69 · 02-04-2010, 10:39 AM

Here is a pic of my 69 Camaro rims sitting beside truck. These old school rims are very nice 17".
