mowerman Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I am not sure about this but I thought I heard you years ago they outlawed chrome rims here I am not sure if that’s to United States or just my area..

Licensed to kill Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I have only seen chrome Dayton rims on a couple of trucks and they have always been from Australia. I LOVE the look with the Mack hubcaps and this is what I was planning for my B61 but alas, I could not convert the rear axle that I am using to Daytons so I am converting the front to hub pilot Budds instead. The cost to chrome the Dayton rims was..............painful (quoted $550CAD each) compared to new Alcoa's for $350CAD.

Popular Post mrsmackpaul Posted January 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2022 We can buy new chrome rims in Australia for aboit $450 Australian I like the look but Im to tight to drop that much coin for some bling As I would need spacers as well By the time I got 60 rims and 30 spacers thats a lot of coin for some bling Paul 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69089-sweet-looking-spokes/#findComment-487579 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark T Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Funny you ask, no. Those were just regular 12 and a quarters. I did have beauty rings on them at one time. That truck in the avatar was inspired by another RW from Canada that had chrome 8.25X24.5s on it and aluminum budds on the steer. His was an awesome truck, he put a ton of money in it and it looked great...and he used it. He swapped the 44s out for 58s and had the chrome rims on it. I didn't have pockets as deep (lol) 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69089-sweet-looking-spokes/#findComment-487587 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see many around here. I'd guess in Australia the weather is much more favorable to chrome on trucks. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69089-sweet-looking-spokes/#findComment-487606 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Remmers Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Changing subject here, but I've never noticed the headlights mounted that low in the fender before. Were all Aussies like that?

Were all Aussies like that? Expand Now that you pointed it out, it looks like the fender is taller. Note the hood latch as well seems the Australian trucks often have the cab higher from the frame and then something done with the hood to accommodate that 🤔 whatever it is, that's a pretty good looking Superliner Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69089-sweet-looking-spokes/#findComment-487625 Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all the pictures of Aussie trucks I've seen I never realized the Superliner 2's had lower mounted headlights as is apparent even in the Bicentennial edition you just posted. I think the pinstripes on the white truck just made it stand out.
