Picked these wheels up off of craiglist tonight..
 
3 Attachment(s)
Saw these being posted for quite awhile, finally got them. Ya I have the 22s on order but those wont be going on until the truck is bagged. And in the mean time I need to be able to move the truck around and drive up onto trailers.

They are brand new, 3 of the 4 boxes were still sealed up from the factory. They are dirty because the guy I bought them from had them outside for about a month. Came with lugs, rings, center caps.


I was thinking about painting the centers blue to match the truck for Sh!ts and giggles. What do you think? yes or no?

The caps the guy gave me are GMC rally center caps. Wish they had the bowtie on them! Oh well, I know a place that makes gel center cap decals that ive used before will have to order some up.

What size are they ? What is so special about them ? They look like regular but beautiful steelies with trim rings.

Re: Picked these wheels up off of craiglist tonight..
 
SS Delux, they are 15x7, the backs sit in really far, i might pick up a 1.25" spacer to bump it out a little bit.

Re: Picked these wheels up off of craiglist tonight..
 
Going to get some of the BFGs every one uses, should I have the white lettering in or out? Cant decide...

White letters in.
Those are the 88-98 ralley wheels.
They have a ton of backspacing to them.

You can buy the "conversion" dual thread lug nuts on ebay.
(and the black plastic lug nut covers, that hold on the centercaps)

muthstryker 12-14-2010 01:04 PM

Re: Picked these wheels up off of craiglist tonight..
 
I have all of that, the dual thread lugs and the black covers, only thing with the center caps is they say GMC.. Every thing is brand new, the lugs havent ever been used.. lol

3r!c84 12-14-2010 01:13 PM

Re: Picked these wheels up off of craiglist tonight..
 
white letter out.

The 88-98 lug nuts were metric.
The conversion lug nuts come in 7/16", 1/2", or 9/16" for the older trucks.
(I wasn't sure if you had the correct ones, or not)

muthstryker 12-14-2010 01:40 PM

Re: Picked these wheels up off of craiglist tonight..
 
I wasnt sure about the lugs so i threaded them on, there wasnt an issue, Ill check them out again before I use them to hold the wheels on.

High gloss black. Police cap centers. No rings. Perfection.

One of my customers has a black 96 with those wheels, a mild drop, and BFG's with the letters out. It has a really nice look to it.

Heres a "Teaser Shot" I got the tires mounted on the wheels today.. Spent waay more then I wanted to but oh well. It got dark on me so I couldnt get any pics of it outside.

Tire Size = 245/60/15

Re: Picked these wheels up off of craiglist tonight..
 
I needed to get the wheels on the truck so I had to buy lugs. Im going to order the correct dual thread lugs so I can throw the center caps on the wheels. So the center caps will come later!

Re: Picked these wheels up off of craiglist tonight..
 
2"s lower in the rear, it sits almost level now I think. It looks raked still because of the garage floor. The front tire is just as tall as the 20s I had up there before so not much difference

And thats what I did! lol, cant change now!


It looked pretty badass sitting outside even with it dark out. And it sounds like I have a huge motor due to the exhaust so it looks like a drag truck almost lol.

Nice wheels there! I saw them on CL here but didn't even really look. Those are the same wheels that my '89 came with from the factory. I shoulda looked at the ad a little better but oh well. I'm still hunting for 15'' wheels and no luck haha. Since all thats up here is 4x4 stuff.

At least someone on here got'em!

Haha ya I talked him down to about 1/2 of what he was asking. It was some highschool kid who had bought them for his el camino and relized they were 5x5.

now just take an angle grinder and shave the white letters into wide whites and you will be set!!
