Ive been looking at these wheels for awhile and my friend seems to think that they would be awesome. Oh and they're really cheap!

RE: Opinions wanted - 12/21/2005 12:43:51 AM    9blzr9   Posts: 21 Joined: 12/7/2005 Status: offline I agree about the cragar wheels looking better, and they are about the same price as the AR-767's. I like that the cragar's come in larger sizes too. Thanks for the input. Hopefully I can figure out how to post pictures by the time I get my wheels! By the way......I refuse to put 20's on a blazer, 18's are good though haha. _____________________________ Nick Red '99 2dr 4wd 5sp Panasonic CQ-C511OU stereo, clear corners, polished grille, custom red interior panels (in reply to LittleDan911) Post #: 6

RE: Opinions wanted - 12/21/2005 7:35:48 PM    9blzr9   Posts: 21 Joined: 12/7/2005 Status: offline Y not 20's? Personal preference. To me they look to big for a compact suv. Just my preference. _____________________________ Nick Red '99 2dr 4wd 5sp Panasonic CQ-C511OU stereo, clear corners, polished grille, custom red interior panels (in reply to LittleDan911) Post #: 9

RE: Opinions wanted - 1/22/2006 8:48:33 AM    85FSBSilverado   Posts: 64 Joined: 2/3/2005 Status: offline Sand blast stock wheels. Mine are like that style factory on my Bronco. Got a spare wheel, sandblasted it, painted it, and found out it was barely too small for my truck. But the rim looks nice. I'll try and get some pics up of it. At least I had a friend sand blast, and paint was $6. Rim was $15 at a junk yard. You get some old wheels, have them painted, they'll look real nice. I hat that painted lip on those wheels shown. You can get a whole set for like $200+shipping, though. JCWhitney. _____________________________ David Rusk Hess (55) 12/23/05 - RIP '85 Blazer Silverado with a 305 and 33" tires.

RE: Opinions wanted - 1/22/2006 10:33:01 AM    swartlkk Posts: 15276 Joined: 5/1/2005 From: Waterloo, NY Status: online Another problem you may run into is the backspacing. Factory 4wd rims are 15x7 with a 5x4.75 bolt circle and 6" backspacing. The only ones for any of them listed above that match the bolt circle have less of a backspacing meaning the wheels will stick out further on the sides and could cause problems at steering lock. _____________________________ Kyle- 04 Rainier My Restoration Projects Please Do Not PM for Tech Help (in reply to 85FSBSilverado) Post #: 11

I want these... ...or these... ...in either a 26" or 28". I called and checked prices on each and 26's with tires would be about $11,300 and 28's with tires would be about $12,500. Looks like I'm either gonna have to settle for some cheaper ones or wait a looooooong time, lol. I can get these... ...in a 22" for about $3000 and a 24" for about $4000 _____________________________ 1997 GMC Sierra Z71 Vortec 350 Spark It or Park It In Loving Memory of Matt Jones 12/30/85 - 11/06/05 (in reply to 9blzr9) Post #: 12
