I mean Colorado.  Anyway, I want to put Moons on it and figure I'd just get a set of cheapo steel wheels, weld on the tabs and go.  Maybe not. . .

Plain steel wheels are $200 each for the truck.  WTRoyalF?  I could buy fancy wheels for less than that.  Maybe I should just bondo the wheel tabs to the factory aluminum wheels.  Or maybe one of youse guys will come up with the greatest idea since doorknob grease.  I loom forward to your suggestions, and no, Jerry, don't go off on a Foolish Friday rant, you hear?  I'm serious.

Jon,

I you have not already, I would call Moon and ask them. As they may make snap on Discs for those type of wheels, instead of screw on. And they sell direct over the phone.  Just a thought.

I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

. . . and Moon and Chico are great SCTA sponsors.

Snap-on discs?  Put your ear close to the wheel and the cry out phony!!!

But if you're going with 6-screw-ons on new wheels, consider moving the valve stems to the inside.

The first time I ever had 'em I used the screw-in type.  Noisy - more than with Dzus buttons, and - too many times I'd find a screw had loosened/corroded/let go and whoops, there goes a disc passing us on the Dan Ryan freeway in south Chicago.

I'll see what Moon has to say.  Thanks.

I had the same problem with the screw-ons – and seldom checked the air pressure.
