I have three 15x8 factory steel rims,need one more and was wondering if anybody might know what else they came off.They are 15x8 steel , not rally rims.they are 6 lug and are on a 69 cst. Was this an option{15x8 wheels}??
Are they even the correct wheels for the truck...69 lwb two wheel drive 396.auto. any info appreciated....

Sound like 4WD wheels to me. I had a set several years ago and sold them for $60. Yeah, it was too cheap, but white spokes were popular then and my Blazer needed them.

All I know is they are super hard to find, but look really good on our trucks. Watch the for sale part of the board. Since you aren't a subscriber ( a measly 25 bucks a year ) you can't post a want to buy ad, but you can buy if you see some posted.

Here is a pic of one of my trucks with them on it.

I'd love to find a set, since I for some strange reason think white steel wheels on a 4x4 look great. It must be from watching Wild Kingdom as a child... And that John Wayne movie in Africa with the CJ6!. Scarred me a bit apparently.

These wheels were aftermarket but made by the same mfgr that made factory sized wheels...Kelsey Hayes.They may not have been the only maker of wheels,but that`s the name I always heard.They weren`t just 4wd wheels.They were available in 5-lug,too.The factory wide wheels like these were all made in 16.5,6 or 8 lug,and were an option on K-models.Later in the`70s the 15x8s were available as an option on 4wds and were the wheels used on military Blazers in the 80s.
