Cruiser friendly wheels

[cruiserpilot]

Ok, I'm in on this now. I was going to have surgery and wasn't sure it was in the cards, money wise.
But this is happening now. Limited run on 17X9 3.5" BS

Stealth Custom Series » F5 MODEL

A guy from Vancouver decided to see if he could get enough interest and he has. Kind of frustrating that it was buried in the 80's forum, why not do it in the Wheels and Tires Section..??

Gauging interest in SCS F-5 Wheels in new 17x9 size

Anyhow, $195 per. US of course, but this is the best option I've seen for good BS.

Can you make them into beadlocks?

 

[cruiserpilot]

No
HD17 17 x 8-1/2" Beadlock Wheel These price out at $525 US each. Beadlocks or not.
I don't thing these are DOT.

These are actually DOT and cheaper? I wouldn't have thought. But true beadlocks, the best you could get. BUT heavy at 44 lbs per wheel.
Wheels - 6 On 5.5 - 4 Wheel Parts

looks nice on a clean truck, not sure about an older series but 80 and newer sure look awesome!

 

[cruiserpilot]

my truck is clean? who you calling old and dirty? Oh, yeah.....

 

[franken60]

Very true! But yours is the most modern 60 around so no comparison haha. Clean rims though, like the different colour options too

 

[cruiserpilot]

I'm going to get the Matte Gunmetal, then thinking of asking for paint code to match my bumpers.
I think that would look cool! Kind of getting tired of black everything

 

[franken60]

Kind of getting tired of black everything

Funny that's what I'm going for

That would look great with the Jade paint. Ford paint right?

 

[cruiserpilot]

Yes, Black Jade. I was watching the Mecum auction in Monterey as a gorgeous
1969 Corvette 427 4 spd came across the ramp. It was a VERY similar green, I've never seen
before. They named the colour but I missed it, went by too fast. I'm just moving to a bit of a
dark grey instead, just for the sake of difference I guess. It's just paint, so its an easy fix.

 

[franken60]

Painting the whole truck?

 

[cruiserpilot]

No, just wheels and bumpers,

 

[franken60]

Oh OK, I was gonna say! I think that will look really good with the black Jade

I guess he started today to accept the deposits. Going to order within a week or two. If anyone on the island is interested
or going forward, let me know. We might get them shipped together and save a few pennies.
