Re: looking for advice
Pretty sure the 8" wheels take 3" rings & 7" wheels take 2" rings...corn

Re: looking for advice
8" should be what your using there. I would get 3" they look really nice.

Re: looking for advice
Just couldn't find a set of 3" rings that weren't all dinged-up locally. Went with 2" rings, because they're a whole lot more plentiful, at least around here.
Would have liked the wider rings, but the look of the narrower ones sort of grows on you. Click my avatar photo for a closeup view of 2" rings on 8" wheels. Good luck. Dave |
