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

[Megadiesel]

I love old school with no hubcaps.

 

[Downey]

I took a set of stock rims to a small wheel manufacture. They took out the Landcruiser centers (with fingers for factory hub caps) and welded them into 8" wide wheels. Mine are about the only thing I've seen that I like better than your old schools!!!!

Stock wheels are great, and I think painting them gray looks even better. I am deciding that one right now.

 

[luvmud]

Love love love the old school steelies. By the way anybody got a set laying around they want to get rid of???? (disk style please) Shameless, I know....

 

[SouthBostonFJ40]

They're only black from the parts counter. I'd paint 'em gray like they're supposed to be. They'd match the top great.

I know...I'm just lazy.

What size tires are dose?

33x10.5x15 with a 4" SOR lift

 

[73fj40lc]

I like steeles with caps but only with a 31" or preferably 33" agressive mud tire. Without the mud tire it just doesn't like the 40's in the old pics. I guess to me it just looks too tame and looks like it only knows the highway. Like puting a pink shirt with ruffles on a pitbull, just doesn't bring out the true 40 spirit.

Sounds cool!

Pics?

How much did they run?

Can they do this process with old-school drum brake wheels?

[toms42]

I love my stock 16x5.5 steelies probably the only dude in oz that does as over here they get binned regulary.

 

[BigRedFJ40]

Old school here too...... The only way to go

 

[texfj40]

My choice...old school rims on my '71

 

[igotta40]

Mine are painted metallic gray and I added beauty rings a neighbor gave me off an old Pontiac that fit perfectly, and the chrome lugs and caps came with the new KM2 tires.

 

[cruisernerd]

what width of tires are guys running? i have heard 9.5 to be ideal, but are guys going much wider on stock 15's?

 

[Roberto]
