New 23" bling!!!!

[RollinLS]

Dropped them off wednesday. Got them back this afternoon. Hows this for a polish job?

Took these in the garage tonight. Didn't have time to get pictures in the daylight. Will get them tomorrow and post them.

WOW, major improvement! Well done.

 

[marcredd]

Turned out really good.

Throw some rubber bands on those baby's, cut your fender wells out and put those on the LS! Just kiddin, those turned out very nice.

$65 a wheel. I asked about doing a set of car wheels. They said they have to be bigger then 19.5"s. The Sentas are 20"s. Considering the turn around and price. Something to think about.

I knew they would turn out awesome. Man those look good. Who do you use? It might be well worth it for me to have some stuff redone by this company.

 

[RollinLS]

McCoys Polishing. They specialize in big trucks.

 

[centason]

Money talks. I'm sure they could polish up some old BBS meshies for me.....

@ Rollin

You looking for some rubber for them little rims ?

Saved you some ...

Just got back late Thursday evening from Nova Scotia, Canada.
Round trip was 1974 miles ... was in the hammer lane, overtaking
some 4 wheelers, when this thing went off ... like a grenade.

Bend the mud flap hanger all to sh*ts ... three hours on the side of the road.

... still plenty of thread left on it, if you want it !!!

Peeled it like a banana.:lol:.... I have been fortunate enough that I have only had 2 blow outs(1 rear & 1 steer) in over a million mile driven. Had 3 punctures over the years(2 at residence and 1 at a T/A).

Need to find some heavy duty aluminum wheels for the front. I can put 15,600lbs on my front axles. 16ply, H-rated Bridgstones on the front. Gross out to 7600lbs per tire. Not sure if standard aluminum wheels can handle that kind of weight. Looking into it for the summer purchase.

 

[RigsLS]

it's the front steer blowouts that make you appreciate life a little more.

haven't had that experience just yet ... and hopefully never will.

rims look good, shiny side up.

 

[RollinLS]

Forgot one. I had a steer blowout a few years ago near Leavenworth In. Passeengerside steer. I felt the belt snap. Took me a second or two realize what I felt. Then POP!!!!!!! Blow the hell out of the sidewall. Lucky for me. I had already reduced my speed.

 

[RigsLS]

yeah, I never drive with my thumbs on the inside of the steering wheel,
on a front steer blowout, it can pretty much rip your thumbs right off
if it decides to head for the ditch.

I've had a few flats now, mostly on the trailers, two on the truck itself,
mostly from picking up crap in the parking lots, yards or job sites.

This was my first blowout on the drives at high speed.

wasn't that bad ... mostly felt sorry for the 4 wheeler beside me when it happened,
plus all the mess that was coming up from underneath the furniture wagon,
spraying all over the road, bounching of the cars I had just passed.

when it blew, first thing I thought, oh damn, there goes the drive shaft or rear end.

I look in my mirrors, lots of dust and all cars braking hard,
I pull it over and put it in the rough.

Made some phone calls and crawled in the bunk.
