wayno Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 You have to have a photo hosting service to post photos here, like photobucket, picasa, imageshack, ect. Since we cannot see your truck, we have not a clue what to tell you about your wheels, I like stock myself. Welcome to Ratsun B) Quote Link to comment
Datsun1017 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I have a photobucket. Every time I try to upload it says server cannot be contacted. Quote Link to comment

Royal Sierra Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Paint an orange line between the red and silver and itll look even better. I love those wheels. Totally has a 90s og mini vibe Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Totally 90s. Looks like 90s Blazer/Jimmy rims. Ride looks clean. I would search the site for the Show Off Your Truck Wheels thread and look at all the posts. They usually post sizes and such on the rims. Find something youi like and then hit CL in your local area.

Datsun1017 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Update on the truck. Finally got it home about a week ago. I took bench seat out and all the carpet out. Most likely gonna do the paint a flat army green color and do the interior black. Gonna start sanding tomorrow. Father in law has a paint booth at his shop so I will be painting there. Looking for front bumper!!! Any help to where I could find one? Truck has no brakes at the moment ordered new master cylinder last night. Quote Link to comment
