20" 5-spoke - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**gregfull** · 07-03-2008, 12:20 PM

Hey all,

My son and I are building him a 68 short fleet, we should be putting 5-lug axles and rotors on it within the next week. He likes the look of the Intro Vista or Vista II. I payin the bill, so I don't like the price! Does anyone know of a 5 spoke, with exposed rivets, something really clean looking? He doesn't like Coys, Torque thrusts, or Cragar S/S look alikes. Any help would be appreciated. I know, this thread is useless without pics. Hope to post some tonight of our progress.

I have always liked these, almost bought them for my silverado.

I want to put these on my 72. The Budniks are a little pricey but well worth it. I have a set of the mercury 5 on my 89 FSC.

Dingfodgy · 07-03-2008, 05:45 PM

Here are some that I actually kinda like and they are affordable to boot! ($800 to $1100 per set).

I have always lliked these wheels as well. I do not know if they come in the correct offset or bolt pattern, but I do like them. I think they would look good on our trucks

This is what they look like on half a truck! (20x8 front 22x10 rear)

tdave00 · 07-04-2008, 01:31 AM

Here's a similar wheel. $215 a piece for 20's.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-04-2008, 01:35 AM

I like those jet v's also...

VA72C10 · 07-04-2008, 01:48 AM

Interested to know about the jet V's as well. A google search didn't work for me...but it's late...

GMF238 · 07-04-2008, 02:00 AM

Thanks for those rims tdave those should be in our price range also. but i just cant seem to find those jet v's anywhere.

bouncytruck · 07-04-2008, 01:18 PM

I don't know where to get the Jet V's, but I'm sure if you contact them, they'd probably help ya find out how to buy their product.

I am planning on doing that, just checking to see if there was a link someone knew of where i could get an idea of pricing.

VA72C10 · 07-04-2008, 01:36 PM

I'll post up any links and/or pricing i get when i call next week if no one beats me to it.

GMF238 · 07-04-2008, 01:40 PM

I just might do that.

Riveted1 · 07-04-2008, 01:41 PM

Just a little heads up... you need to make sure the wheels you buy will fit over the front hubs. Many of the newer wheels will not fit w/out grinding and or spacers.

I found a place online last night. The a 20 x 9 set runs about $2,600 with tires. Each wheel is about $475. Considerably less than the Intro Pentia they appear to copy. I'll have to look up the website again.

matthufham · 07-06-2008, 02:13 AM

i would love vistas, but i couldn't save up that much. for $750 for 4 plus shipping i got boss motorsports 311's (312's are same, but 6 spoke) a branch of eagle alloys

they only have 20X8.5's. got em on ebay, nowadays you can get these with free shipping sometimes. needed a 2 inch spacer on the rear.

Here is the link to a Pro Wheel vendor with prices: http://www.thewheelconnection.com/cu...Pro-wheels.php

VA72C10 · 07-07-2008, 06:02 PM

Thanks for the link. I've been looking around at a lot of wheels and have a link to a guy that's been very helpful...I'll post it later tonight.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-07-2008, 07:34 PM

Thanks for the link...
