lightning wheels installed...
...got 'em on today. after searching the pawn shops for a used angle grinder with no luck, i just gave up and went to sears and bought a 7amp/11,000rpm number and ground those pesky weights off the front drums. i've had it up to 65mph with no vibrations what-so-ever. so i'm gonna roll it like it is.

re: lightning wheels installed...
looks good. i think it would look killer if you grille and bumper where silver to match the rims.

Those look great on your truck. Like CCC said, you could get your grill and bumpers powdercoated to match the wheels and that might look good, but the white is still my favorite color for the grill and bumpers. Good job.

thanks mak
i like the white too, but i'm thinking i need to do something to bring it all together.trukcrazy wrote:Those look great on your truck.

no problems yet tony, but your right-the kenworth dealer down the road could probably do that if i needed it.wt4speed#2 wrote:They look great ez.
If you should develop a vibration that you can related to the drum weights , find someone( again more than likely a big truck shop ) that can high speed balance them on the truck that way your are in reality balancing the tire wheel and drum as a unit.

That is a great looking truck. Oh yeah the rims look ok too. J/K they look realy good against the yellow of the truck.

Hmmmm, it looks nice, but it doesn't look like a bump.
All of them I've ever seen have at least surface rust, and pealing paint revealing at least 3 other colors.
Of course, that could just be my poor associations.
