Kieth, you are very right but, a set of MOBs are 998 plus like 80 for the center caps, thats still way under just a set of smoothies. I would still have to paint the centers and get caps for the smoothies.... in my head, the MOBs are cheaper. I am rollin a 383 stroker w/ 4.11 gears... wont have a prob spinning them.

Actually, I am looking onto those Escalade shipping wheels right now. if I can get a set with tires for 1500, I am at least rollin and just need to figure out a center cap... that puts me in way cheaper with the same look. <just how my head works>, I am on a budget with my toys....

Aren't you afraid the wheel width and backspacing will be way off for these old trucks?
And $1500???

thats what adapters are for. I have a 67 so, I have a ton of room to play with in the back... I can always make my wheel tubs wider too.

Sorry, I am not down with spending 3Gs for a set of wheels before tires. The military doesnt pay me that much and I have a family so... cheaper is better! Not everyone has 5 bills to drop on a set of custom wheels and tires.
