I went over to my neighbors up the hill, I call it the “compound”. He has the proper tire equipment to remove the funky ass worn rubber tires from the rims. It took about 20 minutes or less to remove the old rubber.

The Compound Commander has every freakin’ tool you need to work on cars, truck or motorcycles. He’s a former car racer so he knows his shit very well.

Found out that one of the rims was not the same size as the other three. The single widest rim is 14×6″ which means the others are less wide and must look hell of skinny when mounted.

All this effort because of the goofy looking 1994-1997 S10 truck wheels that are on the La Bamba now. sometimes I look at it and it doesn’t bother me, other times it looks ridiculous.

I think the safe bet is to go with either traditional steelies or the era correct street rod look.
