Like turkey said quality is not an issue.. 15x7 12 series smoothies bare medal and I had them powder coated..(Wheels Vintique) but buy them at Summit!! A whole lot cheaper in cost and shipping... I saved close to $150.00 that route...

Well I got it done, went from Pro Street to Old School. I could not be happier with the look. I liked it before but I love it now. 15x7 on the front and 15x10 on the back. I'll post up better pictures later when I can.

before and after

Rally America makes smoothies in custom offsets. Real good prices too. Have done business with them several times over the past 5 or 6 years. Good people to work with. no charge for custom offsets.

Brasshead now that looks sweeeet...good choice.. Did you order them bare medal and had them painted or powdercoated???

Re: steel wheels
 
Thanks for all the kind words. The wheels are Wheels Vintique series 12 smoothies. The front are 15x7 with a 4"back space. The rears are 15x10 with a 4" back space. I am running a 4x4 S10 rearend which is narrower than the factory by about 3". The rear wheels just clear the fenders, I had to bend the wheel well lip in to clear.


The color is antique white from Sherwin Williams straight out of the rattle can.

I ordered the wheels from summit racing and they come primered gray, great service, fast, and free shipping.

The wheel centers are 3.2 inches.

The center caps are 52 chevy from wheels vintique also from summit racing

Looks great! They are really hard to beat for the money. I went with a 15x7 & 15x8 combo painted bright white.

I actually like their Series 62 steel wheel better.
And they will take a dogdish hubcap.

The Series 64 wheel is chrome,... like the old school chrome reverse wheels.

Lowlife I agree with you on the series 62 wheels, but I was told NO six lug options in that series... which sucks. I've kinda been on a rant of sorts here lately at the lack off decent six lug wheel options. If you look at the 17" summit torq thrust, they stay back ordered all the time. So I think there is enough demand for six lug wheels with some backspace options. Anyway rant over. Thanks
