Growl! I can't seem to win! D.I.D.!
Damsel in distress here!
My truck got in an accident two weeks ago, and the insurance company is writing me a nice check. But, the lady bent one of the rims when she hit me, and I'm kind of upset at how hard it is to find these darn rims! It's a 69 chevy c-20. So I need 8 lug, I need 16's, and I need four of them. (cuz all of them are pretty bad, but this lady just added more fuel to the fire) and I want the stock steelies. I can find these suckers anywhere. Sure! I can get other ones, but nothing that can support a lip for the full moon hubcaps that I love so much. ![]() Just wondering if anyone has had this same problem and what they did. My baby needs new shoes! Thanks ![]() Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Growl! I can't seem to win! D.I.D.!
Sorry to hear about your accident! I put Dodge wheels on my 69 C/20 just to get it rolling after taking off the original split rims, but I too want to find some original style wheels so I can put my hub caps back on. I bet they can be found at a junkyard, but I haven't tried yet. I would love to find out what wheels will work with the hub caps so please post it here if you find some.

On my 55' F-100, I used plain white spokes (wagon wheels). The full moon hubcaps fit great. Just an option if you cant find OEM ones.
I hope this is the caps you are talking about... |

I know that the 16.5" wheels will work with the hub caps, but those are hard to find tires for. I think a 8-lug wheel from a mid-70's truck might work, but I am not sure. Paul Posted via Mobile Device

16" steels from 8 lug GM,Ford or Dodge will fit. Look for 70's-90's for the look I think ya want. Fords seem the most abundant.

If you are giving these away then all is cool...but...if you are selling these than this has become a FS thread which is a no no.

Re: Growl! I can't seem to win! D.I.D.!
I am excited! I just drove my truck with four non-bent rims, and it rides beautifully!!
I found the last 4 8 lug 16" steelies at m and m rim shop in Phoenix that were gauranteed for 60 a piece! Had them mounted and balanced, and now, I'm just so ecstatic that I don't know what to do with myself! But now I have 4 bent rims in the back of my truck that I don't know what to do with lol Posted via Mobile Device Oh! And they were almost untouched, and they have the lip I need to put the moons on ![]()

Either take the 4 bent ones to the scrap yard, or put them out by the street. I'm sure someone will pick them up and cash them in.
