3/4 ton rims - 8 lug
 

Okay - so I have the 16.5 rims and tires on my new project truck and I did a search on here for 8 lug rims to see what else is out there...lots of posts - but few pix (mostly due the the age of the post). The rims and tires on the truck are fine, but figured I would check out what others are running so I can keep my eyes open in the future should I need to move away from the 16.5 tires when they need replaced (difficult to find the 16.5 tires).

So I would like to see what you guys are running. From the pix I have seen I like the Western Wheel Tubines (Dukes of Hazzard rim) and the (8 lug) slots, but they seem quite difficult to find...are these the holy grail of 8 lug rims.

Let's see those 8 lug rims.

I've got '06 2500HD take-offs on my truck. You have to buy conversion lug nuts(i got mine on eBay), and I think they look really good.

These are not cherry, but I would sell them......

Stock Wheels for me all the way. The first are from a 72 C-20. Those were the 16.5's. But the second are from a 71 K-20. These were 16" rims off a mid 80's chevy van, but the correct hub caps snapped right in!!!!!

First picture are the wheels the truck came with. Next two are the wheels and tires I put on the truck. Last one are the wheels I am putting on next.

I like them old aluminum slots!!!!!!!:)

Re: 3/4 ton rims - 8 lug
 

Here's some choices for you...slots and steelies. Rough and finished.

Re: 3/4 ton rims - 8 lug
 

I just bought some chrome hubcaps and I am also going with a black rim behind them........

Where can I find a rim that would take the caps and a 35-12.5-16 or 16.5???

I would trade the slots with lugs for some 16 or 16.5 X 10's or 8's if it would work... that would accept the factory caps!!!!......lugs alone were $65.00!!!!

The widest STOCK rim from GM was 8.25 x 16.5 shown below with a 33 x 12.5 x 16.5 tire. The aftermarket rims like the ones I have shown above are 9.75 x 16.5 and there are some of them around with outer nubs for standard caps. Fewer around with inner nubs or clips.

Re: 3/4 ton rims - 8 lug
 

Here is my 72 on newer factory alloys from Craigslist. The second picture is of the rear wheel caps I bought off of ebay.

Re: 3/4 ton rims - 8 lug
 

grovmister, Would those caps fit on a '68 3/4 ton 8-lug wheel? Does the '72 have the same 3/4 lug as the '68? I thought they changed at some point the series. Longhorn Man knows!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 3/4 ton rims - 8 lug
 

stllookn - you just showing those off or are they for sale? I would love to get some slots for my 71 C20...
