zeitgeist57 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 With the lowered I-beams I'm putting on Cleetus, I'd like to look into a new set of wheels and tires. I'd like to keep an old-school street rod look to it, so I was thinking of Sprint or Bassett wheels. 15" or 16" diameter, with a staggered 235/265 tire combo. Worst case scenario...I could get basic steel wheels and paint them white. Any ideas where I can get steelies for cheap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRTurbo04 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 cant go wrong with some cheap crager wheels http://www.jegs.com/p/Cragar/Cragar-Black-D-Window-Steel-Wheels/751048/10002/-1rs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Maker Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 These could look pretty sweet on a/your truck. http://www.jegs.com/p/Cragar/Cragar-Delux-Wheels/1575360/10002/-1?pno=2&itemPerPage=30 http://www.cragarwheel.com/images/medialibrary/8D14375948D886042BA6BCF752C9393B.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I really wanted white wheels, to match the red/white paint scheme. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=669&pictureid=6777 Another thing I was thinking of was a set of Moons. http://www.ebay.com/itm/15-FULL-MOON-HOT-ROD-RACING-DISC-HUB-CAPS-WHEEL-COVERS-/230629598080?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35b2986380&vxp=mtr http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/4/640/4449/39099724149_large.jpg Easy, simple, clean look for not a lotta dough and piece-o-cake update!

iwashmycar Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Those Cragars in black would look sick on there. White not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I LOVE the Centerline California Smoothie. Unfortunately, a 20" pair likely cost more than your truck. http://centerlinewheels.com/images/wheels/medium/20060725101340_smoothie.jpg http://centerlinewheels.com/images/gallery/92K1500_500x280.jpg http://www.s10forum.com/classifieds/data/8/P9072023.JPG http://image.truckinweb.com/f/11878871/0901tr_01_z+1986_chevy_c30_crew_cab+right_front_angle.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 So...along those lines, maybe some Moon full wheel covers would look good for cheap? I really am liking the super simple wheel treatment idea...especially with the cost being so dURRtay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 The moons aren't for me, but its your truck.

Easy, simple, clean look for not a lotta dough and piece-o-cake update! If it's the rims which give that car it's ability to drive on the ceiling, BUY THEM! I wasn't necessarily saying black, I just like that idea of the simple wheel design on a vehicle like yours. It really is a shame they don't offer some of their simple rims in many different colors. I don't remember what the current rims look like, but why not clean up and paint the current rims white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I don't remember what the current rims look like, but why not clean up and paint the current rims white? They are the stocker 15x6 steel wheels in white that had silver (seriously corroded) "dog dish" caps that I spray-painted white. Sanding/painting the steelies white again was the original plan. I may try to get wider rear steelies with fatter meats (it does a mean pegleg burnout at pretty much every stoplight, especially in the winter) which would also get painted white. I'm convinced that keeping white steelies all around is the way to go, otherwise I may do Moons as a custom look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
