Default New wheels for my Blazer ZR2

Hi peoples,

as some of you have read in the builds - thread, I am planning to totally restore my Blazer ZR2 - frame off.

The wheels of it are in bad condition, although i blasted them already and repainted them. But there is still a lot lose of air due to bad finnish of the material itself.

So, I am looking for some new ideas for "offroad-wheels" for my blazer ZR2. I think about something like the Dotz Dakar.

Can you show me some pics of your blazer with some bad *** offroad wheels - but to be honest, I like the original size of 7x15 inch.

Greets,

Tobias

I

I have 31s on mine. Fallen Wildpeak A/T3s. Been through two snow storms with them so far and pretty much these are going to be the permanent tires on my Blazer.

Ahh you meant the rims.

I use steel Vision Soft 8s with -6 offset.

Yeah,

rim is the correct word, wheel is rim + tyre. I forgot.

Yes they look very nice on the blazer. I'll keep them in mind.

On my 2004 non ZR2

Ion Alloy 186, 15x8, wrapped in 31x10.5 (not in the first picture, those are the cheapo MT's that were on them when I got them... the 2nd two photos are 31" Hankook Dynapro MT's that are currently on it)

I like the spare tire set up on your 4 door Blazer... Was it hard or expensive 2 do? I am tired of having my spare in the hatch cargo area on my 4 door Blazer and I don't want it under the truck like it was originally...

There's a thread on how to do it you can search for. I'd link it but I'm on mobile.

it's not hard at all to do. The hardest part is finding a carrier off a donor lol. Price isnt bad at all, varies from 50-200. Depending on sellers...

I got my from a scrap yard for around the 50$, online used sales sites are between 100-200.
