The rims are from an LG 33 roadster, tires are what came with the truck. Thanks for the look. Ernest

I thought those wheels were from an LG release. I guess you took a knife to the truck's wheels and cut out the center?

Actually I used a drill bit just smaller than the rim's diameter, then I used a round file to enlarge it to fit the rim. Ernest
