ted.thurlby Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I bought a early 87 and it has 5 lug and 6 lug on the rear. I am in the process of restoring the rims due to putting on new tires. I figure after 25 years the rims could use an birthday present. It was a lot of work and I still have 4 to go. Hopefully I plan on doing the hubs. Sprayed clear on after the black and silver. Everything should look as new when I get done. I plan on going to Alaska in June (2013) and hope all is ready to go. Comments are welcome.

ted.thurlby Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Problem is when I'm all done I will have a hubcap on it and the nice rims will never show. But they must be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I wonder if anyone ever made a 5 lug chrome simulator for the front. had they done that I could have save a lot of cash. I know of no wheel simulator that'll fit the 5 lug front wheels. Also, I believe the rear simulators will only work with the 3 hole rims.

Totem Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I bet they would fit the non three hole rims but wouldn't look right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigger camper Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Looks very nice. I was thinking of Doing something similar but I would leave off the old hub caps( they are ugly and I only have them on the rears) They may scratch up your new paint job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
