Smoothie Wheels - Whose running them?

Postby Outlaw » Tue Nov 14, 2006 9:34 am

Condsidering purchasing a set of smoothie wheels as my first upgrade. Anyone have any suggestions as far as sizes, etc? I was pleasantly surprised at the low cost. Thank you in advance for your responses.

That's exactly what I'm looking for. What size tire are you running? Thanks!

I'm running 15 x 5 wheels with a 560/15 Coker wide whitewall tire

I powdercoated the wheels black, the hubcaps are baby moons with outer trim rings that have been brass plated.

Thanks for the responses :thumbsup:

I think these wheels look awesome on TD's. I think 15's will be a little too big with my fenders. 14's will probably be just about right. I need to verify how much clearance I'm gonna have with what size sneakers.

Hi Steve
On the last photo of that great looking tear, who are the fenders from and what is the model or product number?
