Nice score. Those are my second favorite next to the aluminum slotted rims I've seen on a few of your trucks.
Are those going on the Blazer?

I don't know lol. I just figured for $60 bucks it was a worth while investment for old school 10"s

I'll probably clean them up real good and maybe coat these ones and save em for a rainy day project.

Speaking of your rainy day projects I didn't forget about that TBI set up I promised you. That suburbans been sitting in the corner of my shop being used for storage. When I rip it apart I'll let you know.

Does nobody offer a repro of this wheel?  I've seen some similar designs, but never this one.  Why not? >:(

I've always wanted a set of them for myself. My buddy's got a set one of his pickup and I love 'em. If you consider gettin' rid of them let me know, I'd love to own them.
Are you just gonna lay there and bleed or are you gonna cowboy up?

Well these wheels had some curb rash and gouges so I cleaned them up and filled the gouged areas with epoxy. I sanded them up and painted them. I'll take more pix of the finished product if the rain ever stops.
