Check this thread out...

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=537225

If yours are chrome plated aluminum you can have them stripped by a chrome shop and polish them or have them re-plated... I guess you could have them re-plated if they are steel if they are not pitted.

Re: does anyone know where to get wheels like these?

Those wheels are called chrome spokes. The ones you have look like older ones. The new ones have smaller triangle cut outs so u might want to look into rechromeing if those are the exact ones you want.

Back Spacing:

Take one of the wheels off the truck, and lay it face down. Use one (wooden?) ruler and run it down to the mounting point of the wheel flange. Ex. the part that would contact the rotor / drum surface.

Then take another straight edge of some kind and measure from the outer most point of your wheel .. to the very back edge of the wheel, down to that mounting point. This is your backspacing.
