Just curious what the 'tell-tale' or indicator is from afar? I know you have a lot of experience with stock and aftermarket steel wheels ... just looking for the knowledge on this, if you'll share.
Thanks man.

I don't know exactly. I can just tell looking at them. They are a hair bigger from the hub,the amount of dish,L believe they are wider (maybe 7"),the profile of a 16.5 tire,and the fact that a 67/68 truck wheels (clips for hubcaps) would either be a 16" split rim or a 16.5" clincher,which I just noticed.
I believe either '96 was the last year for SAE pattern or first year for metric. Vans are probably the best source since about all came with that type wheel. A lot of pickups by the '90s came through with alloy wheels.
