      DPE wheels

      The wheels for my chevelle are here and I managed to get them mounted fri and got them stuck under the car. They are 20x10 4in bs on a 295/40R20 rear tire. The centers are brushed and clear powder coated the tires have been shaved....no writting on them!

      ride hieght will be 1in lower than in the pic for 5in of ride height in the rear

      How do you get the tires shaved? (just curious)

      The wheels look great - they're pretty similar to the ones I was thinking for my 65.

      thanks for the hook up w/ryan tony.....I really like the wheels! We have a lot of projects going right now and I have been working on other things in the shop. Since it is my personal car it kinda gets put on the back burner...as you can see in the pic it is in the back corner of the shop, only one light back there...lol

      hopefully by the end of the show season in will be close I should have it out towards the end of the year on done and ready for the next year!

      not sure what exactly you mean by can you tell.......you mean sanding marks etc etc, they are very smooth, with tire shine on them you can't tell they didn't come that way!
