As many of you know I can not stand Black wheels. I just like the look of chrome, polished and satin wheels. I also wanted a little bigger set for the patina 54 Chevy. I tried the 20x8 torque thrust wheels from my slammed 52 chevy 3100 on it and loved the look. While I wanted to buy the torque thrust 2s, I decided that since I already had them on two other cars I should change it up a little. I decided on a wheel that look similar. This wheel is a ridler 695 with a gray center. Fronts are 18x8s and ther rears are 20x8.5. I thought the gray would look good with the patina on the car. I also didn't want to use spacers but the rear end in the 1954 was too narrow as it was a 2wd S10 rear end. The spacers or adaptors are hubcentric and ride great with no vibrations. Titan wheel spacers are great quality. I absolutely love the new look and like the staggered Ridler set up.

Lol. Probably right
Excelente vídeo Saludos desde Durango Durango México ✌🍒
Thank you
Excellent DYI video clear concise explanation of application. Look forward to future work on the 54’
Thank you
She would very classy with black steeleys and white walls but those new ones do go along with ur choise very well sir are they a brushed finished or painted??
Thank you. Painted gray centers
this is good because this is the way I wanted to go on mine. its a good look.
Thank you.
love the old fat fender cars! & congratz on the new garage!
Thank you. Me too. They just have style that never gets old
@@TWAMotorsports just puttin the finished touches on my 20' x 30' shop myself, so hope ull do a few vids on the process of how ur gonna set everything up... because setting everything up, & figuring out what goes where & why, has been the tough part for me... & man that building sure gets small real quick when u put a big ol 71 chevy monte carlo in it (haha) ...& yeah, the classics are classics for a reason, absolutly timeless good looks... couldnt agree more my friend. congratz & look forward to seeing more of the new digs (& hopefully the t.a. to!)
Thanks. Yeah I will show some videos on the set up if I ever get in lol. Its taking forever.
@@TWAMotorsports i know whatcha mean dude, its taken me "years" to achieve my goal of having my own shop/garage... but its taken me this long because ive done it as i can afford to & when its all said & done its "Paid For" so i Thank God for that... but i cant wait to see some more vids man, & hopefully some of the new garage... & thank u for makin all these videos, cause ive went back & watched a bunch of ur ta vids in perticular when im workin on my 98 ls1 formula & theyve been Very Helpful... thanx & god bless dude!
@@heavychevy383 God bless you too and thank you
Those black wheels look awsome!
Not for me
Lowering springs in the rear would look dope
Has coilovers so just need to adjust
Correct, wheels make car. In 1977 I had a work car, 67 Belair 4dr, 6 3 on tree. My buddy totaled his 72 Malibu SS, i took his wheels and tires and boy what a difference!
I agree. Huge difference.
The chrome wheels look great
Yeah I like the tt2 and ridlers
Nice car and wheels!
Thank you
@@TWAMotorsports You're welcome
I liked the black wheels made it look Sporty and I agree with your son, but these also look good
Thank you. I do like this better
Looks Sweet!
Thank you
Looks way better. Cool looking car... Sits perfect as is
Thank you
Mine had old skool ET mags painted white.
I bet that look sweet
Looks killer dude
Thank you
It looks really good with them rims on there yeah just lowered the pack a little bit not too much looks great man good work
Thank you
I’m glad you demonstrated how putting too big of a wheel that is out of proportion can make it look cartoonish.
I love that cartoon look
👍
Looking bad ass sir like the wheels
Thank you
Man that thing is sweet
Thank you
It looks really good with them rims on there lot better than the black ones good choice
Thank you. I totally agree 😎
looking good
Thank you
Just an fyi. The S10 ZR2 rear axle is 3" wider than standard S10 rear and has the G80 limited slip with disc brakes.👍👍
Right. This is a 2wd and I needed the 4wd not the zr2 as it's too wide.
@@TWAMotorsports gotcha👍
Cool look buddy. Nothing like a old muscle car with the new style rims.. that would look even cooler if you chopped the roof down a couple inches. Chop top.. then a sweet black pain job👍🤙. It's cold in my neck of the woods also... Cold damp rain all this week...
No paint plans. This is perfect for me
@@TWAMotorsports is that a compass on top of the dashboard?
No. Old fuel gauge
@@TWAMotorsports what vehicle is leaving next?
@@keilylmm6377 who knows.
Looks good as is with nose dive
Thank you
Man that's sick
Thank you
Looks good
Thank you
So sick i love riddler wheels whats on my obs there affordable and look good. Love that car.... night and day difference 👏👏👏👏
Thank you. That's why I bought them. Cheap and look good
Looks 100% better. Hate black wheels.
Thank you. Me too
I just had my check engine light on. I put the scan tool in and it said p0308. I exchanged the ignition coil from number 8 with number 6. And I took number 8 sparkplug out and cleaned it. Looks ok. 2000 Chevy Tahoe 5.3 not sure what it is. Maybe a fuel injector. Hopefully nothing in the engine. I also have the Chevy lean on the driver side hopping it's just the shocks. Your new wheels look nice. Way better
I'm sure its something easy
@@TWAMotorsports ... Man bro I hope so. I'm going to mess with it some more today. Its getting colder now so it's not so bad. The heat was killing me.
Yeah working in the heat sucks
Killer wheels brother
Thank you
During the video i was thinking man that rake isnt doing it lol maybe another 1" in the rear would be perfect, and you realized the rear needed to be lower also!!
Yeah it will need some clearancing before that happens.
Black wheels look like someone stole your hubcaps. Man that looks excellent, what a difference!
Lol. For sure.
Very cool vid
Thank you
WHAT A BIG BIG BIG DIFFERENCE
That's what I thought. Like a new car.
Omg I'm a 57" fan myself but if I had your 54"
I would clear coat it as is and just polish and re-Chrome all the bright work
Torque thrust on down the road
Yeah some of that may happen over time.
Nice 👌 I like the all chrome looks really good
Thank you
Take the spacers off and put some grey centered torq thrust on now that you know what will fit.
That rear wheel with 2.5” more lip would look killer.
They are special order and would not match the front
I guess I meant all 4 would be torq thrusts.
Killer car.
Just not a fan of ridler wheels.
Keep doing what you do. 👍🏻
Thank you. Pretty close to the torque thrust. I do like the torque thrust more but wanted a change up.
I just got those for my 96 impala. 20x10, and 20x 8.5. Very happy with the look.
I wasn't really feeling the whole car. But damn new shoes on that car makes all the difference. I didn't catch it if u said it but is that like a satin finish? It really matches the dull chrome just right. Great channel keep it up
Thank you. Yeah it completely changes the look. Yeah they are shiny gray centers with a dull polished lip.
Looking good brother!!!!
Thank you
Didn’t like the 54 when you got it. But those rims really set that car off. My favorite car in your stable. Got me looking for.
Thank you. I agree it's what it needed to set it off
Not bad, not bad. DEFINITELY better than what was on it but I was shocked how much I liked the TT wheel on the front. I know you said you didn't want it on everything but personally I like the look/size just a couple "mmmmphs" more lol I might've done all 20s in a grey TT. I know lol Looks good though!
I'm still crossing my fingers for the Detroit Steel wheels...one day
Lol. I did like the tt2 but like these too
I do like those
Those wheels set it off man. The car looks bada$$. Great video!
Thank you
Travis, you knocked it out of the park, the wheels are killers......
Thank you Paul
personally I love the rake and height, sweet ride
Thank you
That thang right
Thank you
It’s looking sick with those wheels
Thank you. I like way more now.
I've been using wheel spacers for 8 to 10 years never had a problem, I do use blue loctite but never had any issues, love the channel
Thank you for that reassurance. I rarely use them.
No burn out to break in them tires and wheels ? Lol nice looking wheels man congrats. Yes lower in rear and mini tub with an 11” wheel on some 315’s 🤷🏻♂️
One wheel peel as if now lol
i prefer the black wheels. but its your car and if you're happy that's all that matters.
I just think it looks weird with black wheels
The car looks good with the Ridler wheels !! I have the similar on my 1969 Firebird,
Thank you.
Totally changed the look. Looks sweet.
Thank you. Yes. I love it
Some new paint would be nice
That will never happen
Travis you are the best at what you do, damn that looks so freaking fresh and cool!!! Thanks for such a nice content, entertaining as hell and always with the perfect specs and safety. Always learning with your videos 👍👍👍🏆🔥☑️
Thank you very much
Have the Riddler wheels in my s10 be careful when washing the wheels the center caps break easy looks awesome !!
Thank you. If you noticed the first rear wheel didn't have a cap because it was broken. Caps are crappy.
@@TWAMotorsports I bought 4 extra on eBay look their if you can’t find them I will send you one 👍
Try that link I sent you
I got it replaced already.
No links will send through RUclips
Those wheels look great. Big improvement.
Thank you Kyle. I love the new look
It looks really good brother 💯
Thank you
Good choice as you said wheels makes your car. I suggested Steelies and caps on a earlier video but I stand corrected those are the right look 👌
Thank you. Steelies might come down the road
Looks sick paint job coming ? Tint?
Thank you. No and no
Bad ass bro
Thank you
It definitely looks better with the new wheels and tires. Since you were buying new wheels, why not use wheels on the rear with less backspacing to eliminate the need for the spacer? You would have more lip in the rear.
Just curious. Not knocking it.
Insanely hard to do so. It's not a standard 5x100 or 5x114.3 bolt pattern. It's I believe 5x4 makes it harder to find wheels for and most chevys don't have stupid low back spacing usually it's like 2 or 3 inches
Thank you. This wheel is only made in one offset or I would have
curious how you approach road side flat when you need to lift the car that high to remove rear tire ?
Call triple a I guess lol
@@TWAMotorsports good answer!
@@ksukat87 lol
Why not go with the 20x10 instead of the 8.5? Not enough inside clearance?
Not enough room or I would have
Hey guy , what's your wheel front backspace...
Rear wheel back space...
Same as a s10. Straight up offset basically
It looks sick!! Great job 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you
How accurate is that speedometer with those big tires? Love those 54"s
Within 5 mph
Same wheels and steering wheel I have on my 72 C10! They look awesome!,
Thank you
That old girl sits so nice and those new wheels are sweet bro!!!
Thank you
Love it.
Thank you
Absolutely, the right wheels make the car. As always, GREAT addition.
Thank you. I agree
Man that looks awesome....good pick on the wheels...👌
Thank you
I love it.... I would’ve went to Air Ride; just so I could lay her out....👍🏾💯
Thank you. Maybe eventually
Super dope!
Thank you
Travis that beast looks like a Freakin' Hot Rod !
Thank you
I put 2” Titan spacers on my ‘16 Chevy 1500. I have 75k on them and still going strong.
That's good to hear. The look well made.
That to nice of a car to be a rat rod. I would paint it marina blue or white. With all that chrome it would pop.
I love the look as is or I would
@@TWAMotorsports I know it's a bad ass 54. I would love to have it!!!
Thank you
Also good pick on the titan spacers. I used spidertrax. Figured if it's good enough for off roading it's good enough for on roading.
I have heard good things from them too
Dude she looks dope. I love the look. Need to invest in a 1/2 cordless impact looks like your using a nut driver with an adapter. But love the look
Your right I do need an impact
I just bought a Milwaukee half inch drive impact. They are great.
I need one bad
Looks good! Little higher in rear looks cool man!
Thank you
Looks good! Definitely a little lower for me.
Hopefully I can do that.
That is bad to the bone baby!
Thank you
This looks awesome Travis ! Great choice of wheels looks really nice
Thank you
Hey I know this video is not on the trans am but I was wondering about your lift. I would prim6use it to work on the TA not storage. What would you recommend for a lift. 2 post vs 4 post. I know that for a lot of things I would have to take the wheels off so I would think a 2 post might be better. Just want to know your opinion and experience on work on the TA with the 4 post. I would be making a garage specificly to work on the TA so the concrete would not be a factor. Thanks for your help.
One of each really. 2 post does it all but 4 post seems more sturdy. Both have there place.
Dude that 54 is perfect with the new new! Never thought I would like rust or Patina as it is more gently referred, but Im loving this!
Thank you. I love the look now.
Looking really clean with them wheels. I almost wonna buy the same set for my Silverado lol.
Thank you. They look good on Silverados too
Your killing it man, wheels set the attitude for cars. I have some Biss 338 wheels on my 72 Buick. Similar to the style you have. Keep pushing
Thank you
How much for the black rims?
$250 for wheels and tires. Tires have less than 5k miles.
I have the 1953 chevy 210 and want to put on the same wheels you have. Do I have to do anything different. Do I need to have the spacers. I have drum breaks. What are the offsets?
If you have thes same set up as me. I have mustang 2 front suspension
That’s 🔥
Thank you
Is that a Mustang2 front end or sub frame. Yea, I'm one of those that don't like the black wheels also. Why not BLUE Locktite them. Car looks good, no complain'. Ronnie.
Thank you. It's a front end kit
The new wheels look great Travis. I really like the finish on those.
Thank you. Its wheel buy season I guess lol
Do I need spacers?
I had to because I had the 2wd s10 rear end. I explained this in the video
Love the wheels...totally changed the personality of the car😎
Wish I could run some on my Sierra 🤔
Thank you. Yeah unfortunately no 6 lugs.
I would go with old school hot rod wheels
Maybe someday
Are those Ridler 695s
Yes
NICE! quick question what do you use for camera and microphone? what is your recording setup i mean? i would like to start getting into making videos on my channel.
I list all that in my video description. Very simple setup gopro
@@TWAMotorsports HEY MAN THANKS FOR THE REPLY!! AND THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME. KEEP UP THE VIDEOS. LOVE THE WORK.
You're welcome
Oh man Travis! That really looks awesome! I love the Riddlers. I really like the rake. How does your wife like the wheels on it?
Thank you. She doesn't care lol. Said it looked better when I asked.
My wife usually just rolls her eyes when I show her something that I did to my truck. Lol
Lol. Same
Very nice I love it! Hey what percent did you go with your tint? It looks very nice!
Thank you. The tiny was actually on the car when I bought it. Not sure on percent
Would also look cool if u swapped the wheels around and put a bigger tire on the rear
This is the biggest that will fit right now
