mnementh666 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 So yeah, I suck at photo manipulation... :fu: Got bored, and played in gimp for a while... Anyway, eyeing these wheels for the 521. They're relatively cheap and supposedly the right size. 16x8 +12mm So... assuming I'll stick with flat black paint this summer... what y'all think?

banzai510(hainz) Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I assume the ones your getting are 6 lug the photo shows a 5 lug wheel. If 5 lug ,it not worth converting over to 5 lug find a 6 lug wheel find a better truck for those wheels Quote Link to comment
mnementh666 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Yeah, they're 6x139.5, so no worries there I think with paint and some minor details the truck would look a LOT more presentable :D Quote Link to comment
LAYEDOUTB2K Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 are you plannin on lowerin it more? because imo they dont look right for the stance of the truck. i think it would look good if they tuck at least a little bit of tire to close up the gap. Quote Link to comment
irsa76 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 It's funny, normally I wouldn't like those wheels, see waaaaaaaaaaaaay to many 4x4s rocking them. But for some reason they look pretty cool on the 521, even in primer and sitting the way it is. Just looks so Ratsun. Quote Link to comment
73super Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Oh you kids! Buy yourself some classic cragars, jack up that back end for the proper rake, front air dam, fender flares, camper shell with shag, maybe a mural on the side and your good to go!!!!! Keep on Truckin'!!!! :D Quote Link to comment
irsa76 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Don't forget the 102" ball mount whip. Quote Link to comment

Cruzn620 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 man super, the drugs back in the 60's and 70's must have truly been mind altering! HAHAHAHA Quote Link to comment
mnementh666 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Well... The black painted ones are cheaper than the chrome... I figured give 'em a shot and either sell 'em or strip the paint :D So far, it's either these or white/chrome wagons, or try some chevy/nissan takeoffs... I understand the 521 have hubs too big for the Chev wheels, are the disc brake 620 hubs the same? Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I think your truck would look best with some 15" steelies with raised white letter BFG radial T/As. Maybe paint the wheels black, red, or lime green? ratrod style :D Otherwise, eskies might look good, or just chrome pathys Quote Link to comment
Cruzn620 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 on the chevy wheels you have to bore out the center holes for the hubs. that is what i did with my set. i have a buddy at the machine shop that did it for $50. i just took him a stock wheel and my chevy wheels and he bored them to the same diameter.

fiveNdime Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I used a spacer for my wheels to clear the hubs on my 521. I like the wheels but I think they would look cool flat black. Quote Link to comment
tnip Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 i think they look good... but do whatever you want man. Quote Link to comment
pope_face Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 They actually do look pretty good... If that's what you're into, go for it. At least you can get ahold of the wheels you want... nobody can find the ones I want... Quote Link to comment

73super Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 man super, the drugs back in the 60's and 70's must have truly been mind altering! HAHAHAHA Yes, in church they asked us to describe a time when we remember going through a fog in our lives.. I said "The 80's"... that was a foggy time for me. Shame, shame!! :eek: Quote Link to comment
OL YELLER Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Yes, in church they asked us to describe a time when we remember going through a fog in our lives..

Shame, shame!! :eek: The entire decade of the 60's...graduated High School in June 59...next thing I know it is 1972 Been married for 8 years with 2 kids and don't remember anything about those 12 years....;(actually just kiddin, ........ tho the stuff we did in Southeast Aisa (drugwise) was some serious stuff!...think that is how I got thru that period of time....) AHHHHHHHHHH the memories I think...:blink: Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Nope, doesn't work for me, but then, maybe it was the drugs in the '80s. Maybe a hit off my bong.... f-f-f-f-f-f-t-tttt! (kof kof) WoW That's good shit!!!! Now let's take another look...... no,...I still hate them. Hey my hand just flew away!!!!!! Quote Link to comment

I machined my hubs, now I can run any 6 lug wheel I want :D Quote Link to comment
mnementh666 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Well... Sadly, it's all been for naught. I got vetoed by the wife :poop: Guess it's white wagons for me. But hey, with the white spokes, I can paint the truck grey and get away with it :thumbup: Thank for all the opinions guys... Quote Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 They look okay, but IMO they dont flow with the classic look of the truck. Too busy for the simplicity of a 521, but to each their own. Quote Link to comment
