Hey man, I moved to Austin about 4 years ago...... not sure if you have seen it, but I built a set of 17x9" steelies that came out pretty good. HMU if you want to check them out sometime. -G "I found your thread on CK5 and made the mistake of clicking on it. About dozen and half beers and 4 hours later I found myself repeating, "You have to be f*cking kidding me" and had to close my computer." -13jraven (67-72chevytrucks.com)

Yeah it paints a pretty vivid picture, I could almost imagine that scene. Gave me a chuckle all those years ago when he first posted it, so I've used it as my .sig ever since. -G

Re: 17" Steel Wheels 8x6.5
I think there is a huge gap in the market for 17x9 wheels for both 6 and 8 lug options.
If someone made an affordable ($250 ea.) 17x9 cast aluminum wheel that replicated the factory steel wheels and accepted the factory dog dish caps, you wouldn't be able to keep up with the demand. Modern tire sizes, lighter weight and still keep the OG look...killer combo. Sounds like an opportunity for Coy's. |
