	So I got the wheels home. Unpacked and rolled them around back. A few random pics and my observations. Firstly, the need a clean to remove the “glide soap” from the tyres. Front and back. Powder coating allround. Only mounting faces left fresh n clean out the blasting cabonet. Thomas told me the cabinet took 14 minutes to do a complete wheel. Front side. Note the way the light actually plays and lightens the dark Anthracite Rear faces. Love the dark rim, great for brake dust and road grime cammo. Also tried it with a repainted centre cap in place. Then mocked them next to the truck. They are quite a lot taller than the 17” Cragars. Around 45mm so a gain of 20-ish mm All done. Nicely stashed indoors. You don't want them to get wet now, do you ? I must be honest I wanted to fit them but failing daylight was my excuse. More later.

	Very very nice result! I'm personally having a hard time deciding on with or without centre caps. I'm leaning towards without as I love the dark anthracite...

Thank you Greavesy I have a few small challenges to deals with first, including a mother of burnouts, coz it has to be done at least once.

	Ready or not......... 07.00 this morning I was out there, the night had been long, waiting to get up and test fit. Couple of things became apparent, brakes have not worked for a while, pushing and pulling the truck around on the driveway. Also, top and bottom control arms need to be serviced and greased, just like my 1966 C10 grease nipples everywhere. And the turning circle may be impaired by wheels that are too wide, compared to OEM fitment rubber. Then, on to the front and rear hubs. Fronts now show why we have those huge Mexican hats as centre caps. Needs around 60-70mm tall caps/cups up front, there is also space for a spigot ring, or for the cups to become captive from behind. Maybe a spigot ring is not needed, but the wheel is sitting nice and loose. Rears fit tight enough that it needed to be whacked to remove after the test fit. So some flat cap will work here. The truck also came with locking wheel nuts, something I dislike intensely, and I did not get the socket that unlocks it when I bought it. Thankfully I managed to get both loose, one was quite loose, possibly finger tight. So getting decent new nuts makes sense

	Locking wheel nuts are an 80's anachronism. Nobody steals wheels, they either burgle your house for the keys and take the whole car or if its modern read the keyless fob using cheap Chinese software and a lap top outside your house and just drive away. I actually like the centre caps. Maybe some 3d printed centre caps (domes?) which you could paint to cover the hub centres.
	Needs a bigger hammer mate.......

	Wheels look great Grizz. Re centre caps, look at the guy advertising centre caps in the for sale section. He might do some that fit.
