Those are the originals 6 holes, we've take off the center and putted in an 8 inch ring and then we welded and in the end we cromed them.
I attach an image before this modification

I always wanted wide chrome oems and I love those!!Nieesh!!I`m curious,mostly because you`re in Argentina,what did this cost you?(this is a question I normally never ask)Whatrver is cost,it would not be a comparison to here.I`m just curious if it would be way cheaper,way more,or about the same.But,if it`s waaay cheaper,me and my wheels are going on a vacation this winter to Argentina:lol:.

Hello,
To take out the center of the old rims of 16 x 6.5 inches, to put and weld in a new ring of 8 inches, it cost me 46 dollars each, and then to crome them it cost 33 dollars each.
Is this expensive or chep for you?

Greetings Gabriel

it would cost quite a bit more than that here. The EPA made chrome shops VERY expensive here in the U.S.

Re: wheels
 
I could buy new ones, but my idea it was to maintain the truck original, so I prefer to send them to a craftsman and modified them, with this, beside to give someone a job, I obtein unique rims that most of the people doesn't have.

Greetings
