Decided to recycle some old reversed wheels off my 53 project. Here they are when I got them.

Cleaned and Primed, we also etched them to help the paint hold to the chrome that still on them.

Painted and installed today with some 295/50s on them. Went ahead and lowered the truck 2 1/2" all the way around.

Looks good I love the old school reversed rims. They help fill up the wheel wells in my opinion. I also cannot stand those spindly looking 22"s with the rubber band tires!
 
Love them trucks. I will get me another one day. Looks good.

How do you get anything done in that tiny shop?:D
 
The fronts are way to small, I plan on putting bigger on there. Those were a new set that I already had so I put them on. Those are 205/65s and I want to go with some 225/70s.
 
Got my new rear tires on yesterday the fronts should be in on Monday. The rear tires are 255/70 Indy 500s and going with 225/70 Indy 500 fronts.

Thanks, I will get the fronts put on this week and she will be all set. Wheel wells will be full, now time for some air bags or air shocks to take care of the squat when I hook up the trailer.
