Turbine wheels
Hi i have been looking for some turbine wheels for my 73 Chevy c20 2wd truck, 8 lug, but i want 15" or 16" not 16.5, anyone know if they made them? Or does anyone have any for sale? Prefer the 18 spoke but would consider others

I dont know if they ever made 16s. I have 8 wide Vectors, 9.5 wide Hurricanes and 9.5 wide Jackmans but in 16.5 If you have a lifted K20 the 16.5s are great for 37" HUMVEE tires.

Re: Turbine wheels
Yes, mine is just 2wd stock suspension, i was looking for the low wide look, the 16.5 tires all seem to be tall or the big "mudders"

Re: Turbine wheels
Back when these wheels were made and squarebody trucks were new, 16.5" tires were the wide options available, most 16" tires were narrow. So, it was very uncommon to find that style in 16", but I have heard of some being out there. It was also uncommon to find 15" 8-lug wheels in general, but some where likely made as I've seen them in steel wheel options.
The bigger question is can you find a set today? The odds are not in your favor there.
