Coys C5's - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Dingfodgy · 07-31-2007, 11:21 AM

hey- I was checkin' out Coys Custom Wheels and really like the C5 model they have. I also noticed that it comes in a graphite center w/ polished rim version and was wondering if anybody out there happens to be running them or has a picture of them on one of our trucks. I think 18's and 20's would look down-right sinister on one of our trucks.....pending it had at least a 4/6 drop.

Is that what gringoloco is running on his Blazer?

I almost bought a set of those for mine...till I found out were there made LOL.
I know..Im an A@@

1LoC10 · 07-31-2007, 04:13 PM

you would be surprised in how much stuff you own made somewhere else

gringoloco · 07-31-2007, 04:25 PM

Unbeatable for the money, except maybe the Centerline overstocks, of which I also have a set. Not the best pics, but this should give you an idea as to what they look like on a truck. There's a few more guys around here with them too...

matthufham · 07-31-2007, 05:10 PM

i'm saving for those right now, after seeing gringoloco's and hearing how cheap they were a few weeks ago. i'm going to get 20's, and i'm wondering how good 22's will work for the rear.

Frizzle Fry · 07-31-2007, 05:25 PM

Here's you answer

I posted more in my Tahoe build thread. 20/22 looks just right to me.

gringoloco · 07-31-2007, 07:37 PM

That is just BADASS Frizzle! Here's a couple chops of mine on 22s out back- I am sooooo tempted...

**Nobby** · 07-31-2007, 09:23 PM

Here's what they look like on black primer.

BarryB · 07-31-2007, 09:38 PM

Where are you guys finding these wheels?? And how much are they??

Here's mine with 20" Coys c-5 polished...

Need to take some new pics w/ rocker guards gone and new sport bumper...

Deuce · 07-31-2007, 11:27 PM

Gringo....................what size of rims and tires are you running??

What off-set front and back??

Thanks.

Deuce · 07-31-2007, 11:30 PM

Heres a photoshop of what they would look like on a SWB.

matthufham · 07-31-2007, 11:39 PM

gringoloco has this setup

Front: 20x8.5 5.25" backspacing 255/45-20
Rear: 20x10 5.5" backspacing 295/45-20

Will that work on a truck as well??

matthufham · 07-31-2007, 11:50 PM

raiders3581 · 08-01-2007, 12:25 AM

Yahtzee! Late '70 with a 5-lug/disc swap and '71-'72 will be the same. '67-early '70 will want less backspace due to differnt track width. The front drums are ~1/2" narrower up front and the rear axle is 3/4" narrower on each side for the early trucks. I don't think Coy's offers a 6-lug though...

ORDER THEM ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the time you finally decide to get them, 14" will be the rim of chioce.

**Tim Christian** · 08-01-2007, 04:20 AM

Here is a few pictures!!!! Just put these same wheels on my 64 Chevy II

2500HD · 08-01-2007, 09:29 AM

Tim

Do you have specs on the pictures above and do you know if the rear is the late 70 to 72 or the 67 to early 70. The truck appears to be a 69 or 70.

rodstored-72 · 08-01-2007, 10:36 AM

ok guys,
i am going to do it. but i would like to have 18" wheels. so my questions is with my '72 chevy 2wd swb with the 18's would gringolocos backspacing on the 20's be what i would want to order on my 18" wheels??? if not, do you guys know what the best backspacing would be for me??

thanks!! (sorry if i hijacked)

2500HD · 08-01-2007, 10:51 AM

rodstored

they do not offer the 18s in the same width as the 20s. front would be 18X8 with 4.5 backspace. Rear would be 18X9.5 with 5 backspace. 5.5 will work in the rear but the 5 will look more even with the front.
