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

[rob5182]

You can tell I like the stock steel rims, I have them on both of my rigs.

As promised. My rig before stockers. Hope to find some w/ caps, powder coat and get some stock looking tires (narrow w/ heavy lug on sidewall). Might be a while since I've had limited luck thus far finding a set but consider this a Pre photo!!

Thanks,
Chris

The old school look is great. I've talked to Stockton about
using stock centers and widening to 7in and going to 16in
rims. It sounds good except for the $$$. Anybody
run this setup?

 

[I Tried]

I would like to buy a set of the stock rims and make them beadlocks and put the stock center cap back on them.

What do you guys think?

 

[free2surf]

I think great idea. Let me know if you find a supplier for the stock rims.

Love the look of stock Steelies... Will the rear caps fit over a FF 45 hub?

I've got white spokes... But one day I'd like to pick up a set of stockers.

I think people with the FF rear ends just get an extra set of front hub caps - the cut-outs for the lock outs clear the rear FF.

Funkytown,


Looks very nice. In your second picture I was looking at the front fender and trying to figure out what type of turn signal you had on it..............duh.............it's a beer can ! Do you put led bulbs in that can ?

Anyone ran 33x12.50s on the stock wheels?

The tires that came on it are shot and my buddy has a pair that he's gonna let me get. Will it work or no? I'm not gonna be wheeling it yet. Just riding around.

 

[free2surf]
