Finding wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I didn't realize it was such a chore finding some nice used wheels in 16 or 17 inch for our trucks.
I guess old school thinking was that everyone went to 18 and 20s by now and there would be plenty of the 16 and 17s around.

I'd like the stock looking wheel, except in 17 inch, 7s in front, 8s in back, put the stock cap on, and call it a day

I know the feeling. I've spent good amount of money on rally wheels and tires and I still have rubbing issues due tot he 3" spindles. I have a freeby truck on the way that has stock 16x6s on it. Leave it to the Fed government to order something like that back in 1973.

i am going to stick with stock ralleys and use some Safari center caps. I have found there are not a lot of trucks left at the wrecking yards close by -- crushed them all when steel got high..still no luck on the 16s or 17s
