Re: 1980 Chevy C10 - Ugly but Functional
I really like those wheels, but yeah, at nearly 40 lbs a corner, I got a little concerned. But I haven't weighed the stockers, so maybe it's not that far off? Dunno.
That "Olds" gold looked good and there might be some options to go with paler gold, or a darker bronze gold that wouldn't look as "gold medal-ey" as the rendering. How ever you decide to do it, it's a nice way to add definition to the picture. |

Thanks guys. I am sure the wheel/tire package will be quite a bit heavier than the small stock rallyes Ive got, but it gets me rolling for cheap and I doubt tires will last me too terrible long with the LS swap and a drag strip 15 minutes from my house I'll see how far I get with the paint job this spring - if it ends up just getting primed then the wheels will stay black, but if I get to where I paint it white, I think a darker gold is where I'll go with it. Probably slightly darker than what the rendering shows. I like a dark but still bright gold against white (akin to the 04/05 Subaru WRX STi - I daily drove one for 80k miles in 2004/5 but it was black with gold wheels.) This is basically a "getting it running, not right" year for my truck, so its a good time to experiment, hah! |
