I have to say that the bullet holes are my favorite, that’s what I used on the Road Ranger and it’s trailer, and a couple others I’m planning. The exception is the Missing Linc.Well I stopped by the old secret parts hordin spot, and got the surprisingly good stock leaf springs from my original 83 ranger. Got them wire wheeled and painted. Even though it's kinda pointless, but now the axle, lift blocks, and springs are nice and black. Got everything put together on the driver side. I still need to cut the pass side original leaf spring free to get it replaced. Then it's just a matter of connecting the main brake line, and getting the conversion u joint. Also thinking about running a set of b2 wheels white, with the black squares around the cut outs, and red pinstriping, I do love my aloy bullet holes but idk these may look good. Idk there is a reason we all go with the bullet holes, i wish i could find another set of chrome bullet holes granted they need love View attachment 97326View attachment 97325View attachment 97324
I’ve never seen that cross wheel, but I think it’s got good potential if you painted creatively. Down here, everybody was throwing away the steelies, and when I was bored and sick one day, I started fiddling around with a couple of them with rustoleum just to pass the day. Here’s what I came up with.
I actually have a set of 15 x 7 Lincoln turbine wheels I was going to use on the Missing Linc, but I like these so much I never got around to finishing off the others.
Only other thought is, I’m not into it enough to know which center caps go with which wheels, I just know the ones I like. If you use the bullet holes, my preference are these:
As always, Hope it helps!
