I do remember western wheel corp. for some reason. Did some research for you (only $50/hr)
Couldn't find a website, but I did find: WESTERN WHEEL CORPORATION 14500 FIRESTONE BLVD, LA MIRADA, CA 90638 (714) 994-0150 Good luck!

I have Enkei wheels on my '69, a pair of 15x7's and a pair of 15x8's. Had 4 of each, but had to do some wheel swappin' when I lowered it....seems disc brakes add width to the front track. So, somewhere in Ft. Worth, TX, is a black '69 Chevy with the same wheel combo....may be running a set of 3-bar knock-offs.

I thought Western Wheels were gone and that American Racing either bought them or part of them.
I'm running the old 8 lug turbine wheels on my K20s. Exact same wheels and some say Western and some are American. Hard to find those wheels too. I had to buy a whole truck to get the last set. The wheels were worth more than the truck if that gives you any indication of what the truck was like. |

For some reason, the aformentioned wheels look way better to me then the newer knock offs. I have a set of the Outlaw II's on my 96 Sierra 4x, and I don't care for them. I would however, like a set of those on the truck that started this post!
I think with fewer holes the wheels just look cleaner and more visually appealing.

I was going to say Centerline, but after seeing the back, they definately aren't Centerlines. I know there were a ton of knock-offs of that style in the 80's

Now how did that fall off? Loose lug nuts? Broken studs?
Hows the truck? I assume your ok since you not asking for pain killers or body part donors. Good luck finding a new set of wheels.

Atleast your axles didnt fall out. I have a friend in an 88 blazer go around a corner and both axles came out, lucky not completly out. I guess the c clips went buh bye.
Same friend, but in his 68 SWB GMC, cracked a TH350 in half, cut the driveshaft in half and shot half of it across 4 lanes of the freeway. No one hurt but the truck needed another new driveshaft, a new yoke, the rear end to be rebuilt, and a new tranny. I shot the spider gears though my stock 10 bolt housing in my lemans. I guess the bolt snaped, pin came out in three peices, spiders gears fell out and got caught in the ring and pinion causing a 2 inch hole in the bottom and one starting on the top.

On ALCOA wheels: The only wheels that they had that may be available in a 5 of 6-hole pattern will have to be Mickey Thompson Classics. ALCOA doesn't offer them any more, unless you order a buttload of them, i.e., you gotta lotta money!
The do have plenty of other styles, as long as you want 8-lugs or big truck stuff. I worked for ALCOA, but not in Cleveland at the wheel plant. But, I do have their old catalog and the newest one, so I feel good about the info. Only problem is finding a dealer.
