Re: wagon wheels?

getting any centerline smoothie or wheel vintiques or something and have them cut out would prolly be your best bet. especially to use the stock centercaps.

i had also thought of using the stock dodge 20" spares. you could weld up all the holes, cut out the triangles with the plasma, and reshape everything with a diegrinder. as far as lug pattern, since you are baggng and need the clearance id have the rotors and axlles redrilled. if you can give up an additional 1/4" or so, then you mght wanna just leave your stock bolt pattern, and have some 1/4" plates (like donuts) welded to the back of the wheels and spot-weld thru the stock dodge pattern holes to the plate and have the wheels themselves redrilled so u can use chrome lugnuts and stock chevy centercaps. maybe chrome powdercoat the lips and paint the centers?
