..lol...let do it, my truck got bulletproof in ciudad victoria..lol...jk
i know rios tires and wheels on 23rd street next to the place where junior works had some last week in chrome. If they can get me a better deal than norcal then ill buy them local but i dought it...I talked to the company that makes them and asked if they could sell me bare castings with no coating so i could polish them but they said no..
So my plan is to roll all blacked out for a while then remove the black coating and polish them...not a fan of chrome

I would like a color scheme similar to that. But i like the way my wheels look, so i wanna have a spare set. To change the look whenever I want

Truck looks great man... can you elaborate ( pics ) of where the 305s are rubbing.. I currently only plan to run with dropped spindles on the front so 2" but i may go to 4 if i need to get it level..
Thanks in advance..

Thats fine, i can picture it.. I was concerned you meant like the lower valance or something.. No problem.. Hopefully i can stay with only 2 in the front and be that much better off.. The 305s are considerably cheaper than the 285s here so i will see how it all works out..
Thanks
Thanks

i hear ya, Im working on a 71 C10 short bed with a built 347/T56 and need get some progress going with it. Ive been ignoring it so im ordering the TBSS and will be in mcallen see if i find some 305 40 22 NT420s tomorrow insted of getting billets. If i ever want to change the look of my black truck i can put my Texas Editions back on...
yeah i dont like solid black wheels either, i like to have contrast so you can see the pattern of the wheel.
the ones i have right now are black with machined finish. I would like a color scheme similar to that. But i like the way my wheels look, so i wanna have a spare set. To change the look whenever I want

That's where mine rubs too with 285s, got tons of room at the front, but I don't even need to hit full lock to rub at the back of the wheel well.

wow, so your 285's rub? when i look at mine at full lock it looks to me like the 285/40 will to it for me? maybe its the offset of your wheel?
