anyone thanks alot........does anyone have one laying around?

anyone heard of Western Wheel Corp? got a link? i tryed yahoo but came out with nothing.

that looks like the outlaw rim i believe they are made by american racing wheels

I think the outlaw has smaller holes and more of them.

I checked Ultra 62, ARE Outlaw II and a few others, and the all look like this:

I'm pretty sure that wheel is not made anymore, I hope somone has one for you though.

I do remember western wheel corp. for some reason. Did some research for you (only $50/hr) :)

Couldn't find a website, but I did find:

WESTERN WHEEL CORPORATION
14500 FIRESTONE BLVD, LA MIRADA, CA 90638
(714) 994-0150

Good luck!

I have Enkei wheels on my '69, a pair of 15x7's and a pair of 15x8's. Had 4 of each, but had to do some wheel swappin' when I lowered it....seems disc brakes add width to the front track. So, somewhere in Ft. Worth, TX, is a black '69 Chevy with the same wheel combo....may be running a set of 3-bar knock-offs.

Western Wheel is down the street from me. I don't know who sells em retail though.

Western wheels doesnt make old wheels no more they make mazda and GMC..... i couldn't get what they are callled now but he sayed they use to be called Western Wheels.......(*^$@(# grrrrrr thanks everyone

I thought Western Wheels were gone and that American Racing either bought them or part of them.

I'm running the old 8 lug turbine wheels on my K20s. Exact same wheels and some say Western and some are American.

Hard to find those wheels too. I had to buy a whole truck to get the last set. The wheels were worth more than the truck if that gives you any indication of what the truck was like.

For some reason, the aformentioned wheels look way better to me then the newer knock offs. I have a set of the Outlaw II's on my 96 Sierra 4x, and I don't care for them. I would however, like a set of those on the truck that started this post!

I think with fewer holes the wheels just look cleaner and more visually appealing.

grrrrrr.........i'll have three of them for sale. dont let the picture miss lead you. the wheel came off at 65mph hit the center divider , flew in the air 30ft and landed on a on-coming cars hood. no one got hurt.

I was going to say Centerline, but after seeing the back, they definately aren't Centerlines. I know there were a ton of knock-offs of that style in the 80's

Now how did that fall off? Loose lug nuts? Broken studs?
Hows the truck? I assume your ok since you not asking for pain killers or body part donors.

Good luck finding a new set of wheels.

Call stockton wheel, maybe they can fix it.:eek:

the lug got loose after i double check them that morning too.......what luck i have. Only damage to the truck so far ust by looking at it is the drum got shaved a little from the sliding. it's not bent so it held up to the pressure other then that i got to wait till i drive her.

What about Alcoa, they might have something like it, strong too

nah i'm lookin into black powder coated steel wheels... cheap and make the truck look a little more of a mud beast. oh the tire is fine just iin case anyone ask. that remind me any one got a set of black powder coated wheels 4 sale?

Atleast your axles didnt fall out. I have a friend in an 88 blazer go around a corner and both axles came out, lucky not completly out. I guess the c clips went buh bye.

Same friend, but in his 68 SWB GMC, cracked a TH350 in half, cut the driveshaft in half and shot half of it across 4 lanes of the freeway. No one hurt but the truck needed another new driveshaft, a new yoke, the rear end to be rebuilt, and a new tranny.

I shot the spider gears though my stock 10 bolt housing in my lemans. I guess the bolt snaped, pin came out in three peices, spiders gears fell out and got caught in the ring and pinion causing a 2 inch hole in the bottom and one starting on the top.

what size black wheels are you looking for?

Its appears to be the same as American Racing's Baja wheel.

Is it just me or is that a very course left hand thread on those u-bolts in that last picture?

lol, i was lookin at that too. it's the effect the picture gave the threads.

On ALCOA wheels: The only wheels that they had that may be available in a 5 of 6-hole pattern will have to be Mickey Thompson Classics. ALCOA doesn't offer them any more, unless you order a buttload of them, i.e., you gotta lotta money!

The do have plenty of other styles, as long as you want 8-lugs or big truck stuff.

I worked for ALCOA, but not in Cleveland at the wheel plant. But, I do have their old catalog and the newest one, so I feel good about the info. Only problem is finding a dealer.

Pep boys has those from american racing! 16 X 10 are around $130 I just looked at them in a store in Pittsburgh over the weekend and told my wife I would like them under the tree. I am not sure if they have them for 4x4 or not
