Re: wheels

Re: wheels

After searching for about 6 months for some 15x8 six lug steel wheels with hubcap clips.
I finally decided to get my stock wheels modified.

I called around for a place that repairs rims.

I found one local and had the rear rims of my 55.2 reworked to 8 inch wide with 4inch back spacing.

Cost me $60 each.

My hub caps and chrome rings fit up just fine.

Maybe you can do the same.
