    Very nice wheels. I'm getting the same ones for my 84 Chevy truck soon.
    Good looking and not a bad price.

    I bought a wheel and Cooper Tire combo and was amazed at the care installing the tires on the rims. There was not one mark or scratch on my new wheels. They were also carefully wrapped for shipping. Great professional job.!!!!!!!!
