Re: want pics of 8 lug wheels
I believe you.I will admit I`ve never priced anything that huge,so I wouldn`t know.I guess I was going by what I`m familiar with.

Re: want pics of 8 lug wheels
Tim, I think we are both in the CSOB club... $1000 should buy at least 5 sets of wheels, with money left over for balancing the tires

Re: want pics of 8 lug wheels
O.D. or I.D?
![]() I love my era-correct wheels.And when I saw YellowDog2`s truck in his avatar I just had to throw a shot of my former truck with slots.How often do you get a picture of exactly what your truck will look like if you used a certain wheel? Here`s your truck at night w/slots: ![]() Here`s another way to go: ![]() Jeff,we`re in a few of the same clubs,I think?Alot in common. ![]() Rcrahn,you should give YellowDog2 some of your resources you checked.I know I`ve seen page after page of 8-luggers all around.

Re: want pics of 8 lug wheels
That's what I would like to have for "dress shoes" on my '72. I have a set for it, but couldn't find anyone to widen them reasonably- so that's how I ended up with turbines. Who widened yours,and how much did it cost?
Ooops... I just noticed you are from Sweden, I probably won't want to pay for shipping to and from there!

Re: want pics of 8 lug wheels
Here is what I have for my 70 4x4. They are reasonably priced too I picked mine up for 100 each after some haggling, normally 120 each.

I ran Welds on a truck with 285/75s and the weld that joins inner & outer failed letting the wheel try to come in half.Thank God I lost my air before the wheel failed.Cast are one piece,so you won`t have that to worry about.Those Welds (Outbacks) were $225@ and only had a 1 year warranty.I slapped a set of American Racing AR23s for $100@ with a 3 year warranty.Go figure.You`d think the "better" product would have a "better" warranty.

Re: want pics of 8 lug wheels
Weld was sold a few years back and the quality went down really fast. I had heard of others having the same problem with the splitting.

To make them look really nice, I would cut the caps about an inch to give them a cleaner look. I like those rims. I spent alot of time looks and came across these

Re: want pics of 8 lug wheels
A lot of places carry wheels for these trucks. The problem is that most of their databases do not go back far enough. Generally for the 8 lug stuff, anything listed on early 90's Suburban 2500's and even the 8 lug early 2000's Siverado wheels will fit without issue. You just need to be sure to get a 0 or lower offset. Most of the stuff that is higher than 0 will rub the suspension. check these out.. http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_gara...2&autoModClar=
