Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Nice truck! They had some that came on dodges, just throw some 88+ center caps on them and call it good.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
The first pic is as acquired, the second is an early change. It wasnt drivable yet, but I couldn't bear to look at the rusty chromies any longer!

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
I agree with 68Bowtie - nice looking truck with that wheel change. Curious if the spid is still readable and what that paint color is? Did you already own the 4 stainless caps or if not where did you find them?

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
I agree. Our trucks are OLD! They are supposed to have OLD looking wheels and caps. Everybody and their brother has bling bling wheels on everything from Astros to Yugos. Who wants that...being like everyone else trying to be different by some kind of blingier (it's a word) wheels than the other guy that don't really fit with the overall look of the truck.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
I will throw mine up here, wheels are from a mid '80 van, 15x8. I painted them and cleaned up the beauty bands and centers.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Just got these yesterday and got them painted today. Putting them on tomorrow I hope. Chrome baby moons and trim rings also.
15x8 steelies off a 70's 4x4 Blazer. Got them cheap. Sure going to look better than the ugly black 1990's mag wheels on it now! Im very excited to see how it changes the look!
