thanks for not baggin on me for the duplicate post too... I will get it together someday!
anyway...
I had the wheels made by Stockton Wheel... the fronts are 15x6 and the backs are 15x12...Chevy C10 Rallyes
got reg old uniroyal city drivers P215 on the front and big Hoosier Pro Street Radials on the back...the tire height is 29 and some change - the width is??? ( really big?) - i forget...anyway - the rims appear stock - they sell em that way - I just had to mix up the paint and squirt em'...I can use my center caps and beauty rings...I am tryin to do an 80's version of a 50's version hot rod ( minus the wide whites...it just wouldn't work on this bodystyle)...that's how my warped sense works at least...

That'll look sharp! Looks like an early to mid-thirties 2door sedan in the background. Is that yours?
