I have these on mine now.

72c20customcamper · 12-12-2019, 07:25 PM

Did the rims a couple of months ago. Before and after

I have used the 8 bolt alcoas on my longhorn. Purchased these wheels back in about 2001, and I like the look that it gives my pickup

Thanks for all the replies. That does look good TwoTone72s. I am pretty sure that's what I'm going to go with now that I've seen them on the truck

Dan, Would you happen to remember what lug nuts you used to be able to keep the center caps? I'm giving my 69 GMC Custom Camper the exact same treatment. Thanks in advance!

Those look exactly like my M/T I’m putting on my Golden . I like them in black . I was even toying with painting them black . Very labor intensive polishing them .

I thought they were too black and I added bronze to the centre caps and a gold pin strip. I like this better.

Which post (or wheels) are you referring to?

fun in dirt · 07-19-2021, 03:35 PM

Slots are still my all time favorites, but now going with H2 wheels on my truck build.

OhCookie · 07-28-2021, 06:12 PM

My 1970 C20 with newer Chevy 8-lug wheels that were on it when I bought the truck. I like them so they will stay.

Gleno97 · 10-23-2022, 10:11 AM

I just bought some new stock steel wheels from a late model 2500 van. Also bought new center caps and lug nuts. The old wheels were split rims and totally sucked. Most tire shops didn't want to work on them.

I love the white wagon wheels

garret hakkleberry · 10-23-2022, 04:29 PM

I got 16" steelies that are original and my hubcaps fit perfect

MDFarms · 10-23-2022, 10:22 PM

Here are mine, both sets came on trucks when I purchased. Would like to change c20 if i could find the nice correct chrome hubcaps.

**allchevy58** · 11-05-2022, 10:23 AM

Wheel Vintiques, painted them dark blue when I painted the truck.

I like them a lot, great idea!

steves1967 · 07-13-2023, 09:36 PM

I'm having a tough time picking my new wheels. I know I'm going to use the Detroit Steel Smoothie wheel. I know I'm going with a 20"- just having a hard time picking the back spacing. So I made a wood wheel! 20 x 11 with 6" back spacing. It leaves 1.5" on the back side and 3/4" on the front but, the sides are going to stick out. I'm thinking about going with a 20 x 10 with 6" back spacing to pull the wheel "in" a little more....
