Wheels.

A very personal choice.

I am still in two minds, both are my minds and opinions about the Cragar wheels currently fitted to the truck.
They are 17’s and need to be cleaned for me to really form an opinion, the whole truck needs a decent valet to get it up to scratch.
It comes with a full lowering setup, so the wheel arch gaps on the 17’s can be closed in, tyre sidewalls are 45 profile, and possibly could be increased a bit to change the illusion.
The ride on the 17’s as they are is actually really comfortable, unlike some low profile setups.

As it stands.

What’s in the bag, well, loadbed.

I saw these wheels a few times before on S10 trucks and like them, they are 15’s with a 65 profile.

Available to me.

I think that they would look good on the truck, and allow it to function as well as the Cragars.

Same seller also has an original steering wheel available at sensible money.

Complete with connectors and cancellation gubbins as they would be removed when the sports steering was fitted in the past.

I am also hoping to find someone breaking a 2000-2002 model S10 Blazer for the front grille, which is actually chrome.

Could look good.
