got some new wheels for the work truck

The 86 I just bought was sitting for a few years and the tires had a lot of dry rot and one sidewall split so I decided to pick up a set of stock wheels/tires from a new truck. Didnt have a lot of time or money to find the tires I want but these will work for now. What do you think?

I thought the newer 8 lugs were a different pattern? Great look tho, that's what my 87 30 needs!:smoke:

Did you have to use different lugnuts? If so where did you get them?

You have to use a conversion lugnut, I've bought some at autozone before but I couldnt find any in town so I ordered them on ebay.

Looks great crazy how a set of wheels can change the look of a truck.

Cochino, can I get a close up pic of your front lockout? Was it hard to customize the cap? Thanks. Jason

Thanks for all the compliments, I seem to have a problem keeping trucks but I think I will hold on to this one for a while

I must be living under a rock! Are those 8 lug?
I want to get some inexpensive wheels for my 91 1T Crew Cab...

Re: got some new wheels for the work truck
 
They're all 8 lug, 8x6.5 pattern I'm pretty sure, correct me if I'm wrong guys.
