Love the white rims. Are they 15x6 or 15x8 wide. If they are15x8 where did you have them widened?

Re: BBrendal's 1972 K5 build thread
Well here is where Im at with my Blazer. Put the wheels and tires on, front grill and bumper back on, and getting the trans rebuilt next week. Still have to put the lower trim back on and do the interior but it is at least road worthy now.

Re: BBrendal's 1972 K5 build thread
That is one sweet Blazer!
The only problem I would have if I were you, is if it looks better with or without the trim. Sure looks clean without. Would look great with it too.
Can't decide . . . .

Where did you find the center caps? I've had no luck finding a set for 4x4 (openings in front caps for locking hubs).

Re: BBrendal's 1972 K5 build thread
Not yet. But I'm in communication with the guy you connected me with that has a few sets and I plan to buy a set from him if I can move the rally wheels I have currently. Know anyone who needs rallies? They're basically brand new. Just had them powder coated, then I saw your and changed my mind.
