What a deal. Now where are those center caps and chrome lug nuts I know I have somewhere? So now I went looking in the shop. Sure enough, top shelf. I know everything should be in that one box cause that's where I put them. Nope. Multiple boxes on multiple shelves and an old tool box later I believe I have everything I had, at one time, saved in one location.. I am whooped!

If you had any doubt about using those, I bet the doubt is gone now!
Cool era-correct look. Remember the five-hole wheels (forget name) for 5-lug and 6 hole for 6-lug with the rivets from late-80s to early 90s? I was going to get those for my '90 Blazer when it was new, but ran into a great deal on 10" turbines for that retro look.
They were dirt cheap because they were the last four they had with mixed lug nut style, one was mag-style (shank/washer) and three chamfered like steel wheels. They all looked the same when mounted. I ran into problems when someone else was R&Ring them, like when buying tires. I boiught a set at Sears and took advantage of free rotations, One time was a nightmare, so I bought the exact size grill bit and bored the three out to accept the mag-style to end up with a matched set
