Default Santa Claus came early

Weld finally decided to build some wheels. Here is a pic of what will be going on the rear. 15x10 4" b.s. Should have them on in the next week or two after the rearend gets narrowed.

In the meantime the centers will be getting powdercoated black.

How much are you narrowing the rear end? And if I may ask who is doing it. I am thinking of having mine narrowed in the near future?

Carlos, you narrowing 2.5" per side or 3"? Should tuck in nicely. I wanted to get a set of those, but where so backordered I went with Bogarts Welded Floyds instead. Look good though.

Not really sure how much I'm going to have it narrowed yet. Pyle Bros in Baytown will be doing it for me though.

I said 2.5-3" based off having only a 4" BS, if not then it would probably not be enough BS and cause rubbing issues.

I'll probably be selling those pretty soon. If the centers are the same I think I will switch the black centers on to the new rears. That way I don't have to pay to get them powdercoated again and the buyer can decide if they want to keep them with the gold finish or not.

I wouldn't put those on the car. I would hang them on the wall in my house next to pictures of the family.
