I don't know who did the blue/white twotone but it is just as nice as the others.

did you convert to 6 lug or use adapters?

I was thinking about these on my 80 and converting to 6 lugs....dunno how the back spacing would work though....

but I found some different wheels I'm picking up next month.....

ksbrktracer · 07-26-2009, 04:27 PM

silvrbreez · 07-29-2009, 09:00 AM

Didn't catch that. I think I kinda like it that way.

JohnC · 07-30-2009, 08:10 AM

That does look kind of cool. I didn't catch it either.

watahyahknow · 07-30-2009, 09:59 AM

think he should turn the headlight buckets too from left to right and 180 degrees te finish

menace121978 · 07-30-2009, 10:15 AM

good eye funk! i really like that... ive been back here to look at that at least 5 or 6 times!

**N2TRUX** · 07-30-2009, 06:43 PM

Anyone have the article handy on the yellow and white Hills/LMC truck? I looked at Hill's site and it doesn't have the press coverage any more.

I am curious what size tires it has on it. I'm pretty sure those posted are 22's but need the tire size.

StrokinRat · 07-30-2009, 08:17 PM

Hey N2trux. I happen to have the street truck mag that it was first featured in sitting beside me. The rims are 20 inch Billet Specialties Vintec Dish. As far as what size the rubber is, it doesnt say. Hope that helps

StrokinRat · 07-30-2009, 08:59 PM

I found the rubber size in the new street truck mag. There Falken p255-35-zr20 on front and back.

texasfunk · 07-31-2009, 12:04 AM

thanx, i saw it too, and at first i didnt like it much, but it grew on me, haha
