TN WTB 5 lug 15x 8 stock rims hubcap style(not ralleys) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**thelonerife** · 11-10-2009, 10:56 PM

I was wondering if anyone had some special made 15x8 stock rims or if they even exist and you weren't going to use them. Of corse they must be straight and rust free for the most part. And good lug holes. not wallered out. I want to run the 1/2 ton dog dish style caps. I would also be interested in 6'' ones for the front. post pics if you have any. Closer to me the better too.thanks Chuck.

5x5 pattern only

These things are impossible to find. I've been looking for a pair for my junk forever. I'm just going to build a pair for my truck using hubcap centers from a normal 6 inch wide hubcap wheel and 8 inch rally wheel hoop. I've done the measuring and it will work. Tech post coming soon when I do it.

**thelonerife** · 11-11-2009, 08:29 PM

I'll look for it.thanks.tf

woodridge · 11-11-2009, 09:13 PM

It should be a rather easy do, with the correct equipment. Why don't you come over and we'll build you a set.

**thelonerife** · 11-11-2009, 09:15 PM

I will have to locate some rims of both style first. I'm assuming that the hoops are the same

I've got all four of the 6" wheels. They came off my 72, Thought I would keep them just in case I needed them but would rather see them go to some one who needs them. PM me if your'e interested.. They're in great shape also.

**thelonerife** · 11-11-2009, 09:39 PM

roughed up. I'll let you know if I can't get some thanks a lot!!

**special-K** · 11-12-2009, 07:26 AM

You can prolly use 8" white spokes for the rim,if you don`t find cheapo rallyes.Tim Christian has an orange powder coated set that with painted 6768 caps.The wheel color matches the color in the caps.They are hard to find,but out there.I found mine a few years ago.just trying to get the truck up to where these go on:

I hope you guys come up with some.You know it would be easier to grab a set of 20-somethin`inch hoopty hoops.

I`m always looking for these.I`ll let you know if I find any.

woodridge · 11-12-2009, 12:34 PM

Chuck, I have the extra ralleys if you can find them.

**thelonerife** · 11-12-2009, 09:24 PM

I may have found the stockers. I need 2- 8'' ralleys now.I'm only wanting 2 for the rear

woodridge · 11-12-2009, 11:22 PM

Got you covered.

**thelonerife** · 11-14-2009, 10:32 PM

I have 5 stockers now. I have to get the tires off of them. then get the middles out of two of them.

**thelonerife** · 11-23-2009, 06:06 PM

I got started on these. I used a cutting wheel on my grinder. I first cut two cuts across the wheels, then cut the welds being careful not to get into the wheel center.just cutting the welds. A couple smacks and they are out. I have to find a couple 8''ers then do the same. I'll try to find some around here Woody. Thanks. some pics.

**Boog** · 11-23-2009, 06:37 PM

You make it look easy.

hotrod 80 · 11-23-2009, 07:30 PM

Keep us posted on the outcome .

northern 85 · 11-23-2009, 10:39 PM

Very interesting!

**special-K** · 11-24-2009, 08:28 AM

This is gettin`to be a FAQ thread.This is great! I may just be making me some 10 inchers.

**thelonerife** · 11-24-2009, 01:09 PM

them I'll take your 8's lol

**special-K** · 11-24-2009, 03:41 PM

Maybe runnin`this wheel job on here will bring the 8-inchers out of the woodwork.I only have one set in red.Think of all the colors.I need more!

**71blksuper4x4** · 11-24-2009, 05:13 PM

I think I have one out in our barn that's 8 inch and 5 hole steel and not Rally. Not that it helps at all. Trevor

**thelonerife** · 11-24-2009, 11:14 PM

thanks Trevor

**special-K** · 11-25-2009, 07:45 AM

If it turns out you have 5 or more I`d like the extra ones.

i went to a local show that has 4 or 5 people selling parts.There I saw a nice never painted 5-lug 8" rims.I was holding back the adrenaline until I could ask if those are truck pattern.He said they were.How much?$100.My head started reelin`....."I`m broke,but I have to buy these somehow.Jason`s going to show up.Maybe I could leave this guy $20 and Jason will have the other $80.If he does,hopefully he`ll give me time to pay him back.i need these wheels bad!"....so,i give the guy a $20 and tell him i`kll be back before I leave...SOLD!! before Jason gets there I`m walking back past the guy and he comes running up with my twenty.I`m confused why he`d be handing my money back as he explains that he measured them to be sure and they were Ford pattern...."WUH??Could you measure them again?'
