heres mine, scored for 175 with tires on cl, needed some work.

before



after some sanding and rusty primer,



and then some rusty gloss black,



not on the truck yet, still working on it, but they look real nice...

 

i've been looking for a set of jackmans for years...for my f250 or my jeep.
some of the coolest wheels ever.

that frog hair add is classic!!

 

If you have some aluminium spokes, get them polished up and paint the center cap and lugs to match the truck?

The set I have are 16.5, but still old school cool IMO.

 

you are the man!!!

those things are awesome.

so uh, them wheels, if your ever in the market...

 

here you go 73ferd.....get your shop on..

you just became my new bestest friend

 

Well between the alum slotted mags/alum hurricane fin/alum spokes/and jackman steel spokes that I have for my trucks I am good on rims, but I will always take a new FTE bud.

Not to sure on their pricing but at least you know where to find some fairly close to your side of the world.

 

those jackmans are $900+ ouch. back to looking

prolly never find a set of cyclones or turbines in 8 lug for sale either, i mean affordable. ha

thanks for that link. i can still dream

 

WOW I never checked their prices, never though they would be that much. I think I pretty much stole mine for what I paid then.

I'll keep an eye on my local craigslist for ya, I have seen a set of 8 on 6 1/2-8 lug -9.75x16.5 hurricane fins for like $200.

I did not know they were so hard to find, cause I see them all the time since 16.5 tires are getting hard to find and $$ if you do find a set, except for the HUMMER MIL 36's and 37's take offs.

 

16.5 is expensive. but really i like "period correct" styling on the old steel.

reminds me of when i was a pup back in home in va. those trail trucks and all.
they were the coolest things ever. before beadlocks and winch down suspensions.

funny thing is, at 4wheel parts 16.5 boggers are cheaper than tsl's.

i cant take it anymore...im going for a quick lap of our local mudhole.

 

Well like the saying goes......it didn't happen without pictures!

 

It's funny, I didn't think much of the rims when I sold the truck, but I now wish I would have taken them off. I only paid $50 for the set The bad thing is that they are hard to come by-especially for that price.

For tech: They have 1/4" centers and are fully welded around each spoke. I heard they break, but all mine were good. They are really heavy though.

 

returned from the quick lap lol

Awesome, and thanks I'm a little to far from my rigs for a quick lap. (work related outa country) I like the strap in the back all ready to hook up to a chebby and give them a yank off the wet grass, lol.

 

yuppers. i've pulled many a truck out of the "honda hills" our local mudhole.
i think we might have.

i do have painted wagon wheels
