18" and 20" steel wheels? - Page 5 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

buckskins4ever · 01-07-2013, 11:41 PM

Personally I dont much care for the look of the solid smooth STEEL wheel. Never did like the moonies look either. But to each their own.

Welcome to the board!

I've seen 20" gm delivery wheels that had to sent back to gm after the dealer installed the chrome wheels but they looked more like the dodge wheels than the 22" posted

I bet someone from the arlington area can get some details on them. I used to know a couple of people that worked at that plant, but that was many moons ago....

I use to work at the Arlington truck plant and I have never seen a set, but that was before the 22" wheels were a factory option.

I bet the light weight Centerlines would help offset the shipping costs of the HEAVY Mobsteel (steel) wheels.

Kieth, you are very right but, a set of MOBs are 998 plus like 80 for the center caps, thats still way under just a set of smoothies. I would still have to paint the centers and get caps for the smoothies.... in my head, the MOBs are cheaper. I am rollin a 383 stroker w/ 4.11 gears... wont have a prob spinning them.

Actually, I am looking onto those Escalade shipping wheels right now. if I can get a set with tires for 1500, I am at least rollin and just need to figure out a center cap... that puts me in way cheaper with the same look. <just how my head works>, I am on a budget with my toys....

Aren't you afraid the wheel width and backspacing will be way off for these old trucks?
And $1500???

thats what adapters are for. I have a 67 so, I have a ton of room to play with in the back... I can always make my wheel tubs wider too.

Sorry, I am not down with spending 3Gs for a set of wheels before tires. The military doesnt pay me that much and I have a family so... cheaper is better! Not everyone has 5 bills to drop on a set of custom wheels and tires.

klmore · 01-21-2013, 10:46 PM

My new wheels.

LEX · 01-15-2013, 09:44 PM

I really like the CENTERLINE Smoothies, just don't like the fact to don't come wider than 8.5-9" unless that changed recently.

You can get smoothies in 10's,... but you have to step up to the cost of billet wheels.

If they're anything like the Titan 18s, there's too much backspacing.
