Been on a hiatus from the Blazer for a while, had a lot of other stuff going on. Been gathering more parts here and there. About to dive back into the blazer pretty soon, hopefully for frame sandblasting/powdercoating.

Thanks, I agree! Those you posted have 10 spoke, mine have 15, and I have seen some with more (maybe 20???) I think mine are the best though. ;) problem is I am changing over to 8 lug. Definitely keeping these wheels around though, they will find their way over to another project eventually.

There is a company that is now reproducing these wheels (name escapes me, old age) within the last couple of years.
They had been sought after for years and supply was drying up, so they came back out again.

The 15 fin is a lot nicer than those I saw on CL.
