I really like the wheels on this red shortbed in the picture I found, but I have no idea what they are. Sorry these are the only pictures I could find. Any one have any ideas? Thank You!

They look like these ford lightning wheels...

tonypaul · 01-23-2010, 02:21 AM

I think / guessing that they are factory gm rims off a new model. Either way they are a good looking wheel..

Redden05 · 01-24-2010, 12:02 AM

They do look like the lightning wheels. What bolt pattern do those ford wheels have?

Longhorn Man · 01-24-2010, 01:06 AM

they aren't the ford wheels. If you look at the end of the 'spoke', the ford ones kinda have a hump that goes out and over the rim, not straight into the rim like on the chevy.
While I have no clue what they are, I can say with 99% certinty... they are not stock GM wheels, old or late model.

theyre lightning rims. the hump comes out on those rims, as you can see on the spokes closer to the ground.
and their bolt pattern is 5x135mm which works out to like...5.3 inches. but im sure some replica company has them in different sizes.

Yes, new trucks are 6 lug but that's an '88-'98 C1500 which is 5 lug.

lightning wheels for sure

Redden05 · 01-25-2010, 10:20 AM

Thanks everyone. I didn't realize you could buy them aftermarket with different bolt patterns. They are lightning wheels. Do you think they are 18s or 20s?
