I'm looking at these rims for my 1 ton 1950. Looks like the perfect solution. I have a couple questions:
1. Does this tire and rim combo and size "look" as right as my 7.5x17 1ton tires?
I'm also curious as to using the original clips for the hubcaps on the new rim. Is it advisable to drill holes in to the rim in order to mount the clips? Or better to weld them on?
Might be a silly question but I'd hate to wreck a rim by drilling and would as much hate to wreck a perfect black powder coat just to install some clips by welding.i have all the hubcaps for this truck and don't need to purchase new ones.
Thanks for the input.
