Pretty much two options I have unless I go big $$$ for a 2-3 piece wheel, and I don't really like the looks of either...
And craggar soft 8 17*9 is ~160.00 each

Good lord, is that man sponsored by Arby’s for all of that meat under there?!

Wonder what he had to cut out/modify to fit those, it’s definitely got extended flares on it.

I figured it was good practice for the Blazer since I will probably be doing the same for them, but might just go with coating them. I got annoyed with it because it shed a ton of the material as you go but I am sure that I am doing it wrong

I’ve heard soaking the wrap in water helps with the shedding and helps it bend a little more easy.

DSPbuilt is right, soaking the wrap makes it a little easier to work with. It still sheds a bit but not as bad and it wraps tighter.

Day 2 of rust repair.

Got the stress crack welded, the front of the lower cradle mount hammered back together and welded, and a plate made to go under all the hot mess near the body mount.

Hopefully tomorrow I will pull the condenser and radiator back and get the inside of the lower cradle back together and get that plate mounted. No real hope for tying back into the battery tray, as all the holes and mount points are broken off, though.
