Last Purchase of 2005!
I could not resist! I told my wife "Wheels for a classic truck are like women's shoes...you need a pair/set for every occasion!"
Call me old-school but I really like these "Indy" slots to give a truck that classic look. I just need to find two more of the 10" wide wheels to complete this set. The Early Bird swap meet is just around the corner in February.

Re: Last Purchase of 2005!
The best wheels for these trucks,especially 8-luggers.I`mlooking for a set of 9.75s myself.Last set I bought new was in`88.Never occured they would be discontinued.
My last purchase was a Spicey Chicken Burrito at Taco Smell.

Re: Last Purchase of 2005!
16.5...I knew I could count on you Frank...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! These might be 9.75 wide since I have not checked them inside the bead area since the tires are still on them.

Those Ansen Sprint reproductions are made in 8-lug sizes.At least last I checked.M/T Challengers were a dang close rendering.But,they weren`t made wider than 8"x16" and even worse,they`ve disappeared from the listings. ![]()

Re: Last Purchase of 2005!
409, That is box is in the process of rework for my stepside. I got it from a GREAT boardmember...FRENCHBLUE72!!!!!!!!! I had to move it out of the shop temporarily to finish the cab. Yes, the Corvette and High Performance meet is Feb 11-12 and it is a good one for all parts as you probably already know. There may be more truck parts the following weekend at the Early Bird Meet but they are both great swap meets. It would be much better if they would put about two weeks between them.
FRENCHBLUE72, I see them every now and then...miss most of the great deals but managed to pick these up. The swap meets are usually a pretty good place to find them or used tire shops in small towns. For some reason those guys seem to know that they can get a good price for them.

Re: Last Purchase of 2005!
I see full sets (4) for prices ranging from $120-$250 depending upon the width, diameter and condition. A great price at a swap meet is $100/4. Many times they come with tires that are worn out, at no additional charge. With good tires they are almost always more.
I paid $40 for these and gave the guy a $5 tip for helping me load them...that is why I could not refuse them! One of the 33 x 12.5's on this set is new...the others are serviceable for around town.

Re: Last Purchase of 2005!
Bummer you can't find them in 16 inch. if it wasn't for the cost of 16.5's, I'd have a set of old slots or turbines, or even the deep dish steelies like you have been showing us.

Re: Last Purchase of 2005!
Andy, The price of the 16.5's from the dealers around here are actually less than the price of comparable 16's! That is why I decided I would stick with them. There are still three (3) tire companies making the 16.5's for highway and off-road use. I will go look them up again but I checked twice last summer.
On-line prices for 33x12.5x16.5 range from $126-$136 (plus shipping mount and balance). Local shop wants $191-$197 but that includes shipping mount and balance. The 315x70x16 is about $201-$226. BTW...love the new avatar, LOL.

Re: Last Purchase of 2005!
Thought you`d get a laugh out of a little passive agressive mumbo jumbo.

Re: Last Purchase of 2005!
7.5-17's are tube tires, you can't run 'em on radial rims unless they say tubeless next to the tire size. I know 'cause I've tried that before with the old 7.5-16's from my truck, I just got laughed at, except for the fact that the manager of the tire shop wasn't exactly happy about me rolling one of those split rims into their shop...........I should've known better I guess.

Re: Last Purchase of 2005!
Wish I could come up with two more of them to make a set of 4. DC's(?) in Orchards (Vancouver) had a set a year ago of the 16.5s that looked good, but the problem with the 16.5s is the outer rim doesn't hold a bead very well when aired down for offroad snow/sand.
