Re: steel wheels

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.

Re: steel wheels

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.

They snap over the nubs.
Any 1/2 ton dogdish hubcap should work.
Even some passenger car caps.

Re: steel 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
