Titan wheels ?

Anybody here have em ? I am thinking about getting some, see them on craigslist now and again.
Wondering about mounting my pressure sensors and which lugs to use.
Ideas ?

Can't say that I've ever seen that one. Are the bolt patterns even the same? Check the center hole to make sure it will clear your axles/bearing assys. Also make sure the holes for the lugs will clear yours, (14mm). What are you going to do for center caps?

Honestly, and this is my personal opinion-I mean no dissrespect, I prefer the nicer GM wheels to those.

They are not uncommon on the Fullsize chevytruck forum. Its either hone the center or press fit due to being very tight but they fit. I've seen them.
I'm o.k. with the look and its a bit differant. I like the GM wheels but not much in 18's. And the price is right the one's pictured above are on CL for 295/all 4. Saw a set of 4 last week for $200.
The GM alloys are mostly 20's too cartoony for this old fart.:lol:
I'd really like body colored 18" custom offset Vette rallys with police caps but they are like 295 ea. or something like that.

I have them on my 78 Datsun pickup, 6 on 5.5, will fit on any 6 bolt stuff.

We'll I got some, 5 total. $150.00 Not the style I prefer but I like them.
And these are 17" which keeps things simple.
Next thing to figure out what to do about the Nissan nameplate. They come off easy enough. Maybe I can find a Chevy emblem that fits over the indent where the logo was?
Ideas welcome.

Chevy or not you'll have something outside the box for a nice price. I'm sure you have no problem finding a Bowtie to cover the hubs. So no 18's on the Olds?

Thinking about filling the "Nissan" and just paint the center rib black.
18's on the Olds? Thinking slots would be good. :c2:

I say fill the logo indent and body work the centers then order the replacment stickers for the 73-87 rally caps and center them on and you have your chevy logo. Wouldnt look bad. I am a tech at nissan and another tech in the shop has titan wheels on a suburban. They fit but the center is press fit if it were me i would try and file the wheel down or bevel the edge

Deleted the NISSAN letters the best I could. pretty funny as the filler drew in the paint and you could read NISSAN until I went over the Krylon with Hammerite. Much better. Right after the Hammerite the letters came out almost like glow in the dark:lol:. Then it blended and hid the letters very well.
Not pefect but good! I'm happy for now.

Tried one on tonight and I like it. Someday I'd really like some 18 or 19 Centerlines but its not in the cards so my craigslist cheapos will have to do.
Tight fit, didn't want to come off. I read that on FSC. Seemed like the socket fit o.k. but I noticed the lug holes with some chipping. I did not notice before. Have to keep an eye out for that.

Only had one mounted as I did not want to get too far and find it did not work. Pulled the spare and had that tire mounted on the Nissan spare.

I will go through with it.

Hey thanks,
Getting them installed today @ work. More pics soon.
They are a bit lighter so I'm thinking a 1/4 mile time drop from 22 sec. to 13 flat? :lol:
