Ive had welds on a few trucks. They just give it that muscle look. But I have always prefered 15x7 in front.

Re: Wheel Suggestions for a 1980 c10 swb stepside

Wheels is like underwear,... everybody has their preferences. Me, I like Rally rims, Ansen sprints (ET Slots), Torque thrusts, and Cragar SS, or Genies with a baby moon cap. ( Yes, I'm old school ) Does my choices give away my age too bad??? hahahahahahaha

Man thats a really clean stepper. Check our Vendor Marketplace for suspension and wheel deals. I would consider 18's or 20's if you want to turn heads

Have you considered www.wheelvitiques.com ? You can get some stock style steel wheels any width and back space you want and use your stock hub caps. BTW did you just pick that truck up off of craigslist? I seen one just like it with a six and a four speed granny for sale in Houston.

Re: Wheel Suggestions for a 1980 c10 swb stepside

i know you said you want to stick with 15 inch rims as i did on my project as well, but i stopped into a local rim vendor and they showed me these rims which look awesome on our body style trucks.

http://compare.ebay.com/like/2807158..._lwgsi=y&cbt=y

just throwing it out there.

i like 15" wheels myself, but the wider tires for the rear are getting harder to find. and i agree with ken, 18's and 20's if you wanna stand out.

factory ralleys with 275 60 R 15 tires. Cragar ss's look cool too. they come in some of the larger hoops, but they are pricey

Are you planning to drop the truck? If so, I would personally do that first and THEN worry about wheels and tires. You'll have a much better idea about what direction you want to go, what will fit, etc. once the suspension is where you want it.

We are running a special on Showwheels this month. Not sure if that is the design you are looking for, but they are available in 18", starting at $576/set depending on finish during April.
