Ok, if ya been followin, you know what I grabbed for wheels..
the VW corrado ones.
I wanted retro steelies with spyders.. you all know that's a no-go for our odd wheel hub size and bolt pattern..
so... heres the update.. and as close to "spyders" as we are going to get.
First, chrome long bullet lugnuts...this gets me halfway there
I am simply going to weld steel rings to the wheel around the hub (2.25" tubing as its close enough to the 57.1mm hub hole) for a mounting surface..
then paint the centers...
now for the centers...
I found that 2.25" alum fence post caps are widely avail in many styles. I found one that (to me) is PERFECT).
so the alum caps will push over the weld-on steel rings.. Ill JB or epoxy them as I dont need to take em off, as they arent pushthru caps... and dont affect the hub grease caps that area already there or the hub nuts on the front at all.
anyway,
heres is how it looks but will be POLISHED.
heres the steel rings..
Heres two photoshop's of the wheel colors Im debating on. Ive settled on these two, but haven't made my mind up of which (black truck)
oh and I got my tailgate in!!!!! hows THIS for retro rod???
