Hello All,

My 1973 Canyonlands project is at the cosmetic stage. I’d like to hear opinions regarding wheels. Are vintage vector wheels a possibility? Or should I purchase new Alcoa’s. Has anyone fitted wider rims and tires? Has anyone experimented with custom rims with custom offsets? Anyone tried different tire profiles. I want it to look like the hotrod it is in spirit. What can I say, I’m a car guy. To me it’s more hotrod and less house.

Just finished the audio/video system with 4” 2 way Kickers in the cockpit ceiling, 6x9 Kenwood 3 ways in each seat pedestal, double 10” subs in 3 cu ft box under the dinette, 4x6 2 way Kickers coaxial in the rear. 2,ooo watts total. All driven by 7” in dash dvd, cd, mp3, etc, Bluetooth, nav, 3 cameras. With 2 24” flat screens, blueray player. And a 40 channel CB with PA, come back.
