The Wallet Eater getting new shoes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

XXL · 08-31-2009, 04:42 PM

They're on the way.

Many of you have come to know and love the Wallet Eater's current set of shoes, with their "character" (some use the word 'dirt'). But it's time to get some wheels that better fit my widened bed and PB DM. New wheels and tires should be here in the next few days. Pics to follow.

A special feature of the new ones is that they're chrome. I've been biatching about having to polish wheels for too long (as is evinced by the fact that the current wheels haven't been polished in quite a while-- I'm leaving the grime on them as a sort of protective coating to the metal underneath).

Hint: This is not them--

**N2TRUX** · 08-31-2009, 06:21 PM

I can't believe that is not them pictured. Those would look so "tight" with your Lambo doors.

I am glad you decided to go with the 30's. I think it will pull the whole theme of the truck together.

ebfabman · 08-31-2009, 07:03 PM

Are they the kind that keep turning when you stop?

AceX · 08-31-2009, 07:05 PM

Those new wheels are "hot"

bedsled71 · 08-31-2009, 08:12 PM

smashingchuck · 08-31-2009, 08:40 PM

You gave into MTV and bought black chrome wheels now didn't you... don't forget the emblems.

baggedcten · 08-31-2009, 09:03 PM

^^^The "DUB" emblems?

ERASER5 · 08-31-2009, 09:48 PM

XXL, I know you are just teasing because there is not a single cone nut on those rims!

Longstep70 · 09-01-2009, 11:40 AM

You're getting these aren't you? You could change them from chrome to dirt and back again with a click of a button.....

Then you missed the classic hookup... which is why I'm getting new wheels for the hooptey. Once I'm rollin', I suspect I'll have wimminz following me like the Pied Piper of Hamlin.

joe231 · 09-01-2009, 03:17 PM

guess I better go back and watch it all

EDIT:
just finished watching.......
WOW I gotta get me some of those.....better not tell the wife though....she won't ever let me cruise

Tx Firefighter · 09-01-2009, 03:32 PM

Check out the prices.

There's cheaper ways to get the wimminz.

bigbadjohn84 · 09-01-2009, 03:45 PM

joe231 · 09-01-2009, 03:48 PM

12-16K to get hot women in foreign sports cars to chase you down sounds reasonable to me

I'm sure the professional athletes and rap stars will love 'em......

probably won't want my kids seeing what they put on them though.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-02-2009, 12:11 AM

Ummmmmmm you can kick the old worn out grimey wheels my way..... I cant believe you are getting new wheels.....

I'll shoot you a note when I get the new ones on to see if we can work something out. If you do want the old ones, you'll need to rest your elbows... 'cuz they're going to need some major cleanup and polish.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-02-2009, 12:34 AM

wHY WOULD i NEED TO CLEAN THEM MY RIDE ONLY WARES OUT THE SPACE FROM GARAGE TO DRIVE WAY HAHHAHHAAHH ERRRR STUPID CAPS..........................

joe231 · 09-02-2009, 04:57 PM

smashingchuck · 09-02-2009, 05:04 PM
