I am thinking about going with some steel wheels, hubcaps with trim rings and some wide whites for my 53. I am sure some of you have this set up as well. Anyone know of the best place to get these? Thanks.

 

I choose Early Wheel in Morro Bay, CA for my reverse steel smoothies, trim rings, & hubcaps because of positive comments in this forum, plus they offered custom backsets at no extra charge.

I placed my order on May 8, 2012 and was told to expect shipment in 2 weeks, but I didn't receive anything for 10 weeks, and finally when my order arrived, the hubcaps were on back order and they haven't been shipped to date.

During this frustrating experience I have placed over a dozen phone calls to see what was going on, only to hear lame excuses. I would never buy anything from this company again.

Coker can set you up with everything on your list. However, be prepared to mortgage the house.

 

I got mine from Early Wheel Co
best price I could find for 16"

 

My truck has what appears to be 15x6 steelies on it now...I am thinking about painting them and getting some dog dish caps for it. It is going to be annoying to spend over a grand for some wide whites. What a rip off, but they look great. After doing some research, I am even considering making the wide whites myself.

 

sounds goofy but look at www.hubcapmike.com
their prices are hard to beat. they have stainless instead of chrome on most stuff. no tires though.

 

Yes, WWW do look good on a truck, even though they didn't come that way from the factory.



I'm running stock 16" wheels with beauty rings and hubcaps. Tires are biasply 6.00x16. I'm not looking forward to the time when I have to buy replacement tires.

 

How did this turn out? Did you find what you needed and if so tell us where.

 

I got my hubcaps and beauty rings from Dennis Carpenter, really like them too.

 

DITTO !!!!!!

 

I have steel wheels on the truck already. I plan to have them sandblasted and powdercoated. I will probably just get the hubcaps and trim rings from LMC. I am going to go with L78-15 tires all around. I have to call Lucas Tire and speak with Maytag to see if he can come in with a better price than the Coker Classics ($165 a tire).
