single veins on the work truck

The isuzu hombre, (s-10), needed tires. what can i say? i guess its thirdgen inspired? i managed to put an old iroc chin spoiler on the front while bored one day. any way i needed tires and had the wheels laying around. bought some used tires for the back wheels,...a matched set.

I think it's the S-10 rims that are good looking too. Kinda sorta like the single stripe IROC but the dish is somewhat concave. Looks good.
By the way, those rims on your Hombre belong on my parts shelf. (Always looking for quality spares).

Thanks! I only had the steel wheels. they didnt look that aweful i guess, but sure like the IROC wheels better.
Interestingly i weighed the 2 different tires and rims a while back. the hombre's are 15" and steel. IIRC they weighed around 35 pounds, while the IROC rim & tire weighed around 45! i wrote the exact weights somewhere but forget where i put it.

I had read here at 3rd gen that the IROC rim was one of the lightest 16" rims available. Period. The road racing and autocross guys like them for that reason.
