Re: Old School 4x4 Wheels

Yeah, there are some wheels available that are nice. I wish someone would make old style custom wheels. Sometimes you see too much of something and it goes away. Then after a long enough time, you'll see it again and in a whole new way. I mean, what's so terrible about a dang white spoke wheel anyway? Now don't everybody go out and buy them all at once or they'll get ugly just as quick, again

I sold that truck I showed 5-6 years ago to a friend. First thing he did was take off the wagon wheels and put on alloy 16.5 x 8.25s. They were older (90s), so didn't look too bad. It's been all the way down and back up to close, if not ready, for panel painting and assembly. This shop has had it since about 6 months after he got it. It will have 16 x 8 steelies with hubcaps when it's done. It will be original colors.
Here's another picture since you said you liked it and I miss looking at it:

I had 16.5 steelies in 9.75 and 8.25, 8.25 turbines, and 9.75 slots. I had 37/12.50 Swampers on the narrower steelies for that K/20, kept them for the '72 K3500, then decided to go smaller and sold those and the lift. I had a all four spring 6" lift, the wheels were 16 x 10s, and the tires were 315/75-16 Pro Comp Xterrains
