Who's got pics of their cool 8 lug wheels? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BADSAM · 08-02-2007, 09:07 PM

I've got a 3/4 ton and been looking for some nice wheels. Anybody have pics of theirs they are willing to share with some brand and size info?

cdowns · 08-02-2007, 09:46 PM

i guess these aint cool cause i cant give them away

size for those that asked is 16X10 i only have the pair and i dont ship

BADSAM · 08-02-2007, 10:14 PM

That's what I got!!!!!!!

72armyswbtruck · 08-03-2007, 12:13 AM

Come on now, those are the coooooolyts

OhioDan · 08-03-2007, 02:54 AM

Here's what I'm putting on mine.

GMCBubba · 08-03-2007, 07:00 AM

check out using hummer H2 wheels. i think they look great, but also rugged enough in their satin finish for a 3/4 ton

Mudder · 08-03-2007, 07:28 AM

Here's mine on my 4x4. I think they all look better if you can get the center caps that cover all the lugs.

72freak · 08-03-2007, 07:34 AM

There are very few "cool" 8 lug wheels.........especially on a budget.

Here are 2 styles I am currently running

Musclerodz · 08-03-2007, 11:55 AM

I have several budget minded choices for 8 lug wheels. I only have Raceline on my website but you can go to www.alliedwheel.com and see steel and aluminum 8 lug choices.

Mine are kind of old school but thought some of the new ones didn't fit the era of the trucks.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 08-03-2007, 01:13 PM

Here are mine.. WES

Mt Man Chad · 08-03-2007, 02:41 PM

Heres the ones I had on my 69 GMC

BADSAM · 08-03-2007, 03:15 PM

Musclerodz, I've only raised few hundred so far selling parts. So it depends on how much more I can raise and hoping nothing else comes up that needs that cash. As far as size, anything from 15"s to 18"s.

TotalChevy1 · 08-03-2007, 03:17 PM

I picked these up at Centerline, 17x8

bad6772 · 08-03-2007, 07:58 PM

Stupid Question???? will the late model 6 lug wheels work also? dont get me wrong i like my stock wheels painted red, and trim rings. but i think its time for a change. would stock Z-71 rims or Tahoe rims work. just wondering . there really isnt a lot of options for the 15 inch rims anymore. none that i have found anyway. any help would be appriciated........tony

DieselEater · 08-03-2007, 10:55 PM

If you don't find anything cheap enough...I'd sell you the slots off of Frankenstein. I'm gonna put black steel rims on him. The slots are 16.5 X 9.75.

I would be interested in the slots if he is not!!!!!

Sinister · 08-04-2007, 02:30 PM

kind of a bad picture but here's the rock crawlers that were on my '72...

here's what's currently on my '69, though I'm probaly going to go with rock crawlers on it as well...

DieselEater · 08-04-2007, 06:46 PM

Hey sinister.....I'd be interested in the chrome hubcaps if you're not gonna use them.

Hey Joe's junk.....BadSam gets 1st dibs...but you could PM me an offer.

It's going to be a little while, I have to rebuild my brakes at $700+...

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 08-04-2007, 12:12 AM

cdowns, if it wasn't for the shipping charge I'd gladly take those! Are they 16.5x9.75? I have stock 16x6.5" steel rims up front and wide 16.5x9.75"(roughly 12" from side to side) in the back. First pic is of two that are now on my Suburban. Got 'em off ebay for $75 shipped. The UPS guy asked me "what the hell is in this box?!?!"

Both of 'em sitting in a cardboard box weighed in at 78lbs.

snacob14 · 08-04-2007, 08:43 PM

my 3/4 as it sits waiting for bags

JAKES 68GMC · 08-05-2007, 08:38 PM

with 72freak. They look excellent on that 72. I'd kill for a set of those Challengers, or some aluminum slots/turbines, or some 16x8 widened steel wheels.

**jamie72** · 08-05-2007, 08:44 PM

got these on the wifes truck
