Re: Do they make 16x9.75 White Rims
By stock rim you mean what people call Steelies, right? I used to always call them stock center wide wheels. As far as GM goes, the widest wheel they offered was 8.25". The standard 16.5 width was 6.75" and you could get aftermarket (Kelsey-Hayes) 9.75s. 16.5 wheel widths were always with a fraction, never squarely on an even inch. Until the later '90s no wide 16" tires were ever made, so no wide wheels. Once they started making wider 16" tires and wheels is when the 16.5s began being phased out. So now you can get 16 x 10 wheels and Wheel Vintiques sells them. The only problem is for some strange reason they have no vent slots. It's really odd that they would come up with a retro wheel but not make it retro by leaving out the slots.
