Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Don I love this wheel choice I think they are one of my favourite wheels



I will try and paint the ones I got in the same style with a dark grey spoke and polished rim

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

Would personally love some slotted mags, but needing 17's or larger kinda negates that thought...

The wheels pictured above are the wheels that I have on my Blazer. They are made by American Racing and are named after the original Ansen Sprints. They are 17x8 in front and 17x9 in the back. My wheels are a 5x4.75 bolt pattern but they do/did make them in 6x5.5 and 5x5. It looks like they are phasing out some sizes and bot patterns so if you want some 17" 6-lug slots, you might want to do it quick.

Here is a link for the 6-lug wheels on Summit's website... http://www.summitracing.com/search/d...6%2B4294920326

Here is a link to American Racing's techsheet on those wheels... http://www.americanracing.com/wheels...0691/techsheet Notice that on American Racing's site you can no longer get the 17x8 in a 6-lug.

Here is a picture of my Blazer with those wheels on it...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Not much accomplished today, truck wise… Other than that I did get the Heat and Air setup in my shed repaired... The only charge is a couple of small tattoos for the guy's wife… Then went to the daughter's wedding...

I did get a chance to get the Driver's side Cowl Extension primered…

Passenger side tomorrow after smoothing out the bodywork around the antenna hole that I welded up...
