Re: Another 8 lug wheel thread

Finally received the center caps a couple weeks ago. She's a short bed now. Here are some pics. I haven't put the trim rings on yet because they are definitely going to scratch the powder coating. I'm almost certain I am going to put them on it just makes me bit nervous.

Front: 20x8 4.75" backspace 245/40/20
Rear: 20x11 8.5" backspace 315/35/20

Those look awesome, very nice. I think the trim ring would look slick.

I never updated this thread but I did buy the DSW Del Rays. Took about 8 weeks after the order and got them on 2 weeks ago. Tires are 275/65/18

Re: Another 8 lug wheel thread

Those DelRays look GREAT on the truck
(and not to hijack either, but Kev-O that truck looks amazing too.

On my '68 C20 Utility, I stuck to basics (Wheel Vintique' (satin black) steelies, needed to order another (last Spring) and still waiting.
I have a 50thAnn that I'll eventually get to, but still looking at wheel choices.

Anyway, those DelRays look way cool

Re: Another 8 lug wheel thread

I've been going through the website and I agree that those del rays look great. Every once in a while you see something that looks like something that GM would make, but didn't. Pretty cool look.
