nate Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 That thing is crazy nice! The lettering on the tailgate is as cool as I've seen! Great job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledgehammer Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I like the body paint color with the chrome caps like above. Something like this would be more modern while keeping a classic look of the spokes IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMOKER 1 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Factory wheels and caps with oversize tires on the back would make it scream power! jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyinca Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 This is my choice so far . Thinking 20x10 in rear and 18x8 in front . Going to try to have them put I.H. logo on center cap. Instead of black color inset thinking Bronze because interior will be buckskin. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledgehammer Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I took this at the Half Century of Progress show in 2015. These wheels are similar (just for reference) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMOKER 1 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I still vote for factory wheels! Those mags are really cool but imho it takes away from the originality. jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohio farmer Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 The wheels that you have picked are very sharp, much better than the ones in the picture that Sledgehammer sent. they have that modern look... I would vote for all chrome mags, jmho. Like the old Crager 5 spoke mags, they would have that old muscle car era look. if not going with a more factory look. Some white wheels with IH chrome caps. Just my 2cents. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonyinca Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 Well , after seeing the wheels on the above red truck , I am going back to the drawing board. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohio farmer Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I think the wheels with the grey centers are just too plain for your truck. the ones you had picked are better, more chrome with less black in centers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledgehammer Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 The wheels on the truck I posted are just something to look at. I like a little more chrome also to accent what you have Tony. Some older style mags in a larger size would look very good. Even some oversized steel wheels with white walls and caps would look cool.

twostepn2001 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Whatever wheel you choose Tony I like your idea of the IH logo in the center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyinca Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 I am glad for the input . Thanks Guys. I agree more chrome rather then paint because truck basically has no bling so need wheels to set it off. They make the sample I posted with all chrome ,no paint. I have been leaning to a deep reverse steel wheel like NEW GUY, posted but deeper with a I.H. logo cap with black wall or lettered tire. Guys at shop think it needs new school wheels & tires. (??? I am not sure) however, they do this everyday but admit its the first International. Body guys say," its a conversation piece, people come in and try to figure out what it is, then get curious about it." I am looking for a two piece wheel, So far I like the" Schott Cover loc. wheel." We need a two piece wheel to be able to maximize width to placement in fender well. They will custom build to fit and I am wanting the I.H. logo on them . Rob thinks He can get them to do it.

new guy Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Could get a stock wheel widened and chromed to accept a stock hub cap too...that way you could customize width and backspacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony in mot cases, old school & new school don't seem to jive in my book. Although i am fairly young, I like the old school look. Nothing drives me more nuts than seeing a gorgous muscle car with newer style wheels on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ny bill o Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 i agree with eason, chrome reverse or cragars. i call the 20 inchers stupid wheels. might as well just run like the amish and forget the tire altogether. looking very nice tony. it will be christmas all over again when its done.

lintonxy Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 The good news here Tony is that all of those wheels look awesome: they all suit your Binder but they give it different looks. Personally I lean towards the steelies and hubcaps. They give an understated look that ties in nicely with your painted rocker covers and colour-coded interior. I particularly love the 'International' script hubcaps that were suggested by Sledgehammer When considering wheels, have you considered what you're doing with the interior? You've mentioned the colour, but is that a retrim of the original bench? Or more modern buckets? I would think steelies and hubcaps tie in well with a bench seat; whilst Modern buckets would pair well with the full chrome wheels. Any direction you choose will be winner with that sharp body. I reckon I speak for more than myself when I say this is an exciting build to be watching and I'm stoked for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
