Went back to old school rims, what do ya think?

[77mustard40]

I think black is all that is available from the dealer. You'd have to paint them to get back to the original grey.

I like it troy!

My dealership only had in black under that part number. Definitely want that steel grey color.

I believe the black is a primer, just like the body panels come from the factory.

Pablo and Mustard are correct. You can get the correct grey paint here...

be on my '71 soon, back satin powder coating

 

[NVFJ60]

stock wheels widened to 10" powder coated black. 35"mtr's

winner winner chicken dinner.

This is the exact look I want. I have been looking high and low for a nice looking after market wheel that I can run my 35's on. I love the oem rims and caps. I would be very interested in finding out who widens them.

Finally bit the bullet....

I sold my stock steel wheels in 1973 and went with chrome wheels with baby moon hub caps (nobody under 50 will remember those). I went to the spokes in the 80s and only in the last few did I start regretting the sale of those original wheels. I'm showing my TLC in a car show tomorrow and wanted to get back as close to stock as I could. I got my OEM steel wheels used from Proffitts. They had them sandblasted and powder coated for me and did a pretty good job. Now they are on and ready for tomorrow's show.

Looks good!

I do remember chrome reverse w/ baby moons (under 50!), I had 'em on my '55 Chevy Bel Air.

I never was a fan of the wagon spoke wheels.

stock wheels

Painted mine black. Shown with 31x10.5 tires. Think I'll try 33s the next time.

Before and after. Getting quotes to have the steels powder coated grey.

 

[NVFJ60]

Looking good hogula! Thought I would throw on the top and take another look, now I know the old school are the ones.

Hey bucfan,
What kind of top is that. Brand name? Thanks.

 

[Suntreemcanic]

If hub caps are not in the plan, why could not Chevy/GMC steel pickup wheels be used in place of original equipment Toyota wheels? They are readily available and probably a lot cheaper. They have the correct 6X6 bolt pattern. They could be sandblasted and painted the correct gray and I doubt many people would notice the difference. If somebody has already raised this issue, my apology.

Well got a set of old school rims and tires and ditched the wagon wheels. It is a slightly smaller tire so not sure I like them 100%. The 33's (old ones) did look good, but I think I am digging the rims and caps.

Just did the opposite and painted cygnia white

fishpro..nice 40..i like it with the black rims..more old school look than grey.
