Not bad- can you get those in teflon coated? What kind of tires are you going to wrap around those?

they're like $200 a pop but hey...

Not sure about the tires, probably a 50 series in the front and 40 series in the rear.

Why teflon? they're going on my '70.

they look good but i think they have a strong resemblance to the factory chrome rims of the late 90's except for the size.

Check out my gallery, I used the old fashioned looking slotted mags from Mickey Thompson. Wanted that nostalgia look. I like the top wheels (DC-1's) for a truck and those look very good on the newer trucks, as for the second picture, those are what I picture on a 67 Mustang, not sure if they would look right on a truck or not.

Steve, that pic is directly off of American Racing's web site.

I just wish those last ones were available in 5x5.5 I might have to buy addapters to the 5x4.5.
