Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
The wheel Merry-Go-Round continues...
![]() I was originally going to run some 15's that a friend gave up cheap, then traded for some 20's after realizing that the U-Bolts on the rear would hit before the rim in the event of a flat... ![]() Not wanting to chance that, the 20's were an even trade, although I wasn't a fan of that style wheel, the no out-of-pocket aspect was alluring… ![]() When the boy showed up Father's Day with a friend of his, that has an 85 square body, the friend offered to buy the 20's... ![]() After a day or 2 of thought, I shot him a price and the immediate response was, "SOLD" ![]() I've always liked the old school Cragar SS wheels and needing at least a 17" wheel to deal with the lowering in the rear, I decided to go with the Torque Thrust by American Racing… Going with the 18" Anthracite... ![]()

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Sounds like that wheel deal was a no-brainer. I like the new wheel choice much better, & I'm sure you will too. Hard to beat a timeless 5-spoke!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Agreed, you can't beat 5 spokes with grey spokes and a polished rim, I'm going to paint the spokes on my 20's grey to try to copy this style, I'll just have one spoke to many
