I saw another truck with the same hole, but I'll need to dig it up.

Okay, which wheel do you all like? Wheel 1 is a classic GM style and I like the look the best but I don't like it's size at 15". Wheel 2 is similar but a bit more retro/modern looking and is 14" which I like. Both have a 2.5" dish. Let me know what you think.

1st wheel for sure!
(make sure you use a 67-68 camaro hub)
The '69-up hub is larger than the diameter of the truck steering column.

I actually had the second wheel in my daily driver '91 S10.
Leather on the wheel looked like crap in a year.
Pretty disappointing considering what it cost.

Cursory to-do list so far:

1. Install seat belts
2. Fix turn signal switch
3. Fix fuel gauge
4. Fix dash lights
5. Fix or replace grill assembly
6. Add some tunes
7. Adjust headlights

Maybe by the time these are done I'll know what I am going to do with the suspension and drive train... ;)

I would add some 20" Billet Specialties "Mag-G" wheels and a simple air bag job and call it done!

I have connections on repro 3 spoke wheels, I can get really nice ones for wholesale. Let me know.. (it would be a black one though). Might save you a little. $.

Black is fine with me, are they like the one above?

Re: Project: Shiro
 
Yeah. Like the one on Keith's truck. Original type repro but they are very nice quality, I have had several. I'd put one on my lawnmower if I could.

I want to say they are $220 but let me make sure. Are you in a big hurry for it? I will be going over to my friends shop probably the weekend after Christmas. I can pick one up for you. Shipping might offset it .. thinking maybe you might find a coupon somewhere.

It would come from Chevy World Parts in Bryant AL. Lynn Welden, I have known him for 25+ yrs.

Couldn't agree more. Simple and clean.

He has it on his site for $219.95. It is available on ebay for $236 shipped. I think I may just order it through his site. unless you can get a better deal than that...;)

I do like the Dagger G's but I don't think I'll be doing any air suspension.

Just make sure you get the correct hub.
Most of these kits sell the larger diameter '69-up hub.

Yep, 67-68 Camaro should do it.

Maybe call him and tell him Chad Coley referred you, he usually cuts me a deal on stuff. That way you can request the 67-68 hub. Most of the time they come with the larger hub like Keith mentioned. I'm not sure where he's getting them but it is a very nice quality reproduction wheel.

He sells about everything for our trucks. Just an friend from my first gen Camaro days.
