I did a thing... Now what to do.... Vintage KMC wheels

Yeah. Those welded rings are not “fake”. They were intended to strengthen those old wheels against impacts. That’s why the welds are so nice and why they are front and back.

Coolest wheels on this site by far. Can’t wait to see pictures of them mounted.

I you paint ‘em black, we can’t be friends.

 

Current I don't like shinny

 

Are you into dull women?

 

Exactly what he said. They had them made for an old SEMA show truck in the early 2000s. They were mounted but never driven on.

 

Yup, I spent 30 minutes inspecting them, because I knew a bent flange was a deal breaker. They were from a SEMA show truck and never driven on the road.

 

Really interested to see these mounted. There’s a lot of peer pressure in this ‘Overland Fashion Show’ we call Tacoma World to have everything muted and looking all military. Takes mojo to step out and do something different.

 

Subd. These are sweet. Get em on already!

 

Sometimes

 

It's going down Tuesday or Wednesday OP delivers. Best deal I could find was $1271 mounted and balanced. These tire dealers are good at enforcing MAP pricing I guess.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing these mounted up for real

 

Thanks! Tires should be delivered today, so tomorrow install is looking good! It's like Christmas eve.

 

Whaaa whaaaaaaaa

Stupid simpletire.com delivered 3 of the correct tire and 1 255/70r18. How does an order puller pull 3 correct tires and one much smaller mismatch? Ugh. Not happening this morning. Maybe this afternoon. I should have just negotiated and priced locally I guess.

 

On the plus side, I did make a first pass at polishing one. It's pretty fun, in a weird way I missed it since I haven't had polished wheels in like 7 years.

 

Buzz kill.

Those fvcking welds are incredible. Just insane the skill and time someone put into those, and now $300.

 

Fresh polish really brought them back, can’t wait to see there is n the truck.

 

Ok, since I had to wait I got them all cleaned up. Machine polish with that magic ball, hand polish and jetseal. Tomorrow morning we try again.





I love the lip

 

Those are cool ass wheels.

 

Stuff stamped on inside of back lip.

 

Blast from the past! Those look great and cleaned up really well.
